Simone Talks, Streets Bleed: Demand Action Before Another Body Hits the Asphalt
AD 75: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Bodies in the Road
Five dead. Twenty-seven left with injuries that do not heal. In the last year, AD 75 saw 1,612 crashes. The numbers are cold, but the facts are colder. A man struck by a box truck at West 40th and 9th. An 83-year-old woman killed by an SUV turning left at 58th and Sixth. A 34-year-old man, dead at the intersection of 36th and 7th, hit by an SUV. Each one a life ended or broken. Each one a family left with a hole that will not close. NYC Open Data
Pedestrians and cyclists pay the price. In the last twelve months, 853 people were hurt. Trucks, SUVs, taxis, bikes—they all left bodies behind. The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The numbers do not lie.
Leadership: Action and Delay
Assembly Member Tony Simone has taken steps. He co-sponsored bills to put speed limiters on state vehicles, to require safer street design, and to hold car owners accountable for repeat offenses. He backed higher fines for speed camera violations and supported automated bike lane enforcement. But not every move helps the most vulnerable. Simone also co-sponsored a bill that would raise the speed threshold for camera enforcement, making it easier for drivers to speed without consequence. A 6225
He stood with advocates for pedestrian plazas, like Plaza33 by Penn Station, giving people a place where cars cannot reach them. Plaza33 But the work is not done. The street is still a killing field.
The System Grinds On
The city talks about Vision Zero. The state passes laws. Still, the trucks roll. The taxis jump the curb. The old and the young end up in the hospital or the morgue. “The vast majority of commuters in Midtown are traveling by transit and they deserve world-class, fast, and reliable buses… far fewer New Yorkers are getting hurt in crashes,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, pushing for a car-free 34th Street.
But the numbers in AD 75 do not show an end. They show a crisis that does not stop.
Call to Action:
Contact Tony Simone. Demand he fight for lower speed limits, stronger enforcement, and streets where people come first. Join with others. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
