York and 72nd: One man down, a city on notice

Manhattan: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025

Just before dawn on Aug 30, a taxi hit a man near York Ave and E 72 St. He died there. Data show it.

The toll keeps climbing

He was one of 127 people killed on Manhattan streets since Jan 1, 2022, a span of 43,608 crashes and 21,598 injuries documented in city data as of Sept 4. Source.

This year isn’t easing up. Year to date, Manhattan has logged 9,042 crashes, 4,831 injuries, and 29 deaths, up from 7,151 crashes, 3,660 injuries, and 27 deaths in the same period last year — jumps of 26.4%, 32.0%, and 7.4%. Serious injuries are up 28.9%. Data.

The corner is not the only problem

The Aug 30 death joined a grim chain. A 49‑year‑old pedestrian was killed at 3rd Ave and E 28 St on Jun 16. Record. A 74‑year‑old cyclist was killed at W End Ave and W 70 St on Apr 24. Record. Another cyclist died at Centre and Broome on May 1. Record.

The pattern is plain in the ledger. Names are scarce in the database. The damage is not.

City Hall and Albany have tools. Will they use them?

The path is not a mystery. Lower speeds save lives. The city now has the power to drop residential limits, and Albany has a bill to rein in repeat speeders. The steps are laid out here.

Manhattan’s officials for this area are Council Member Erik D. Bottcher (District 3), Assembly Member Grace Lee (AD 65), and State Senator Brian Kavanagh (SD 27). The record provided here does not list their positions on a citywide 20 MPH limit or the Stop Super Speeders Act. The question is simple: with deaths rising this year, what’s their move? Data.

Do one hard thing now

Push for a default 20 MPH citywide and speed limiters for habitual offenders. Tell your council member and state reps to act. Start here.

City Eyes Overhaul For 14th Street
