Afternoon on Pearl Street, a bike and a bus

Afternoon on Pearl Street, a bike and a bus

Manhattan CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 29, 2025

A 25-year-old on a bike went down by 336 Pearl St in the afternoon. The crash involved a bus. He was hurt. Police logged it as a serious injury, not life‑threatening (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4844665).

He is one of many. In Manhattan CB1 since 2022, there have been 3 deaths and 1,058 injuries across 3,082 crashes (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians account for two of those deaths; people on bikes have been hurt in 226 crashes (NYC Open Data, CB1 rollup).

This Month

  • Sep 15: A driver in a 2011 Toyota sedan hit a 42‑year‑old man on a bike at Canal St and Lafayette St; police listed the driver as unlicensed (CrashID 4842549).
  • Sep 4: A 32‑year‑old man on a bike was injured by a parked 2024 BMW SUV at Chambers St (CrashID 4839935).
  • Aug 25: Two cyclists collided on the Brooklyn Bridge; one suffered severe bleeding (CrashID 4837888).

West Street. Canal Street. The harm clusters.

West Street leads the injury count in this community, followed by Canal Street and Broadway. Church Street is on the list too (NYC Open Data rollup). Injuries stack up around midday: the noon hour alone saw 98 injuries over the period (NYC Open Data, hourly distribution).

Police records name driver inattention, running lights, and failure to yield among the recorded factors here—each tied to dozens of injuries in this small area (NYC Open Data, contributing factors).

The pattern does not stop at Canal

Citywide, the cruelty is not abstract. “When a German tourist is decapitated in Midtown by a reckless driver with a fake plate, you simply have to scream,” wrote Streetsblog after last week’s Midtown hit‑and‑run (Streetsblog NYC). Different neighborhood. Same city. Same roads.

The tools exist. Use them.

Albany passed measures that New York City can use now. Lower speeds save lives. Our city already has the authority to drop limits under Sammy’s Law; a 20 MPH default would slow the whole grid and cut the force of every crash (CrashCount: Take Action).

The worst repeat offenders need hard stops. The Senate bill to force intelligent speed assistance on drivers who rack up violations—S 4045—moved in June; State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee (Open States). Its Assembly companion, A 2299, has co‑sponsors, but our local Assembly Member Grace Lee is not listed among them in the record provided here. What gives? (Open States).

On the ground, the fixes are simple and proven: harden turns on West Street, daylight Canal’s corners, and add leading pedestrian intervals where people cross most. Enforce failure‑to‑yield. Keep bikes protected at bridge approaches. These are standard playbook moves, and they match where the bodies fall in CB1 (NYC Open Data rollup).

Make the next Pearl Street crash less violent

Three dead here since 2022. A thousand plus injured. Noon keeps filling ambulances. The Council and the Mayor can lower the default speed. Albany can muzzle the repeat speeders. Do it.

Take one step now. Tell your lawmakers to act on speed and repeat offenders here.
