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.

Charles Fall Backs Safety-Boosting Center-Running Bus Lanes▸Sep 5 - City will install center-running bus lanes on Flatbush Avenue from Livingston St. to Grand Army Plaza this fall. Lanes move buses to the center, calm traffic, add median refuges, and tighten crossings — improving safety for pedestrians and transit riders.
Bill number: none. Status: DOT announcement; installation slated for fall 2025. Committee: none recorded. The matter is titled: "City to install center-running bus lane on Flatbush Avenue this fall." Brooklyn Paper reported the Sept. 5, 2025 announcement. No council sponsors are listed. Assembly member Charles Fall backed the safety-boosting plan. Adam Daly issued the release. DOT plans center-running lanes from Livingston Street to Grand Army Plaza. Safety analysts say center-running bus lanes can calm traffic, reduce turning and curb conflicts, encourage transit mode shift, and add median refuges that improve crossings. Cyclist gains are smaller without protected bike lanes, but overall safety for pedestrians and transit riders should improve.

Fall Warns Coney Casino Harms Pedestrian Safety▸Aug 9 - The Coney Island casino's EIS predicts thousands more cars, gridlocked roads, and crushed parking. Pedestrians and cyclists face higher exposure and danger.
Bill number: none. Status: Environmental Impact Statement filed Aug. 9, 2025. Committee: Community Advisory Committee (CAC); CAC met July 30. The EIS states: 'Proposed Coney Island casino would likely clog local roads with heavy traffic and overwhelm public parking.' Justin L. Brannan is noted for introducing a ferry-feasibility bill last fall. CAC member Marissa Solomon said mitigation measures likely won’t be enough. Assemblyman Charles Fall criticized risks to pedestrians. Developers offered transit incentives. Safety analysts warn the casino is projected to dramatically increase motor vehicle traffic and parking demand, worsening congestion and exposure risk for pedestrians and cyclists; mitigation focuses on flow, not street safety, and leaves vulnerable road users bearing the burden.

Fall Backs Safety‑Boosting Manhattan Bridge Speed Reduction▸Aug 8 - Concrete barriers will ring the Manhattan Bridge footpath. Two lanes will be narrowed. DOT will seek to cut the approach speed from 35 to 20 mph after a July 19 crash that killed a cyclist and a pedestrian. A Canal Street redesign is being fast-tracked.
Action: DOT announcement on 2025-08-08. No bill number or council committee. Matter quoted: "Friday’s Headlines: Fixing Canal Street Edition." DOT will install concrete barriers, narrow two travel lanes, and propose reducing the Manhattan Bridge approach speed from 35 to 20 mph (subject to a 60-day public comment period).

The installation of concrete barriers, lane narrowing, and a proposed speed limit reduction are proven measures that reduce vehicle speeds and protect vulnerable road users, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Fall Warns Coney Casino Harms Pedestrian Safety▸Aug 9 - The Coney Island casino's EIS predicts thousands more cars, gridlocked roads, and crushed parking. Pedestrians and cyclists face higher exposure and danger.
Bill number: none. Status: Environmental Impact Statement filed Aug. 9, 2025. Committee: Community Advisory Committee (CAC); CAC met July 30. The EIS states: 'Proposed Coney Island casino would likely clog local roads with heavy traffic and overwhelm public parking.' Justin L. Brannan is noted for introducing a ferry-feasibility bill last fall. CAC member Marissa Solomon said mitigation measures likely won’t be enough. Assemblyman Charles Fall criticized risks to pedestrians. Developers offered transit incentives. Safety analysts warn the casino is projected to dramatically increase motor vehicle traffic and parking demand, worsening congestion and exposure risk for pedestrians and cyclists; mitigation focuses on flow, not street safety, and leaves vulnerable road users bearing the burden.

Fall Warns Coney Casino Harms Pedestrian Safety▸Aug 9 - The Coney Island casino's EIS predicts thousands more cars, gridlocked roads, and crushed parking. Pedestrians and cyclists face higher exposure and danger.
Bill number: none. Status: Environmental Impact Statement filed Aug. 9, 2025. Committee: Community Advisory Committee (CAC); CAC met July 30. The EIS states: 'Proposed Coney Island casino would likely clog local roads with heavy traffic and overwhelm public parking.' Justin L. Brannan is noted for introducing a ferry-feasibility bill last fall. CAC member Marissa Solomon said mitigation measures likely won’t be enough. Assemblyman Charles Fall criticized risks to pedestrians. Developers offered transit incentives. Safety analysts warn the casino is projected to dramatically increase motor vehicle traffic and parking demand, worsening congestion and exposure risk for pedestrians and cyclists; mitigation focuses on flow, not street safety, and leaves vulnerable road users bearing the burden.

Bill number: none. Status: Environmental Impact Statement filed Aug. 9, 2025. Committee: Community Advisory Committee (CAC); CAC met July 30. The EIS states: 'Proposed Coney Island casino would likely clog local roads with heavy traffic and overwhelm public parking.' Justin L. Brannan is noted for introducing a ferry-feasibility bill last fall. CAC member Marissa Solomon said mitigation measures likely won’t be enough. Assemblyman Charles Fall criticized risks to pedestrians. Developers offered transit incentives. Safety analysts warn the casino is projected to dramatically increase motor vehicle traffic and parking demand, worsening congestion and exposure risk for pedestrians and cyclists; mitigation focuses on flow, not street safety, and leaves vulnerable road users bearing the burden.
