Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 75?
No More Names on Asphalt
AD 75: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Bodies Keep Coming
Just last week, two buses collided on the Port Authority ramp. Thirty people were hurt. The FDNY called it “a lot of them with musculoskeletal injuries, neck pain, back pain” (ABC7 report). It was the second bus crash at the terminal this month. The ramp is a bottleneck. The city says it will be replaced by 2032. That is seven years and hundreds of injuries away.
In the past twelve months, four people died and over a thousand were injured in crashes in AD 75. Twenty-five were seriously hurt. The dead include an 83-year-old woman crossing with the signal, a 34-year-old man struck at an intersection, and a 29-year-old woman crushed on 9th Avenue. The numbers do not stop. They only grow.
The Patterns Never Change
Cars and trucks do most of the killing. SUVs alone took six lives and left 180 people hurt. Trucks killed two more. Taxis, bikes, and mopeds all left their mark. No one is safe. Not the old, not the young. Not the people walking to work or waiting for the light. The FDNY reported that about 30 people were injured in a bus collision on the Port Authority Bus Terminal ramp on Thursday morning.
What Has Been Done, What Has Not
Assembly Member Tony Simone has voted to extend school speed zones and co-sponsored bills for automated bike lane enforcement, bus lane enforcement, and speed limiters for repeat offenders. He stood with advocates to demand more transit funding and supported car-free plazas. But he also backed bills that would weaken speed camera enforcement. The work is not finished. The bodies prove it.
The Call
This is not fate. It is policy. Call Assembly Member Simone. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people outside the car. Every day of delay is another broken body. Do not wait for the next name on the list.
