Corners that keep bleeding

Avenue of the Americas and Bowery stand out for injuries in this community board’s data. Source. Police list named causes again and again: failure to yield, unsafe speed, and drivers blowing signals. Source.

One intersection takes a life; another takes a leg. At Crosby and Spring, a driver making a left killed a woman walking on Oct 28, 2024. At Centre and Broome, a person on a bike was killed on May 1, 2025. Crosby at Spring, Centre at Broome.

“You simply have to scream,” wrote a city reporter after another driver with a fake plate killed a tourist in Midtown. Source.

What officials have—and haven’t—done here

Some steps are on the table and in motion. Council Member Carlina Rivera co‑sponsored a daylighting bill to clear sightlines at crosswalks (Int 1138‑2024). Source. In Albany, Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored a bill to extend school‑zone speed cameras (A 8787) and another to expand camera enforcement and stop plate obstruction (A 7997). A 8787, A 7997.

The repeat‑speeder bill (S 4045) to require speed limiters for drivers with a record advanced in the Senate; State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee. Source.

“These are folks, when they leave to get crosstown, it takes forever. We’re changing that now,” said Council Member Erik Bottcher, backing a 34th Street busway that cuts car traffic and calms danger blocks from here. Source.

The fixes are not a mystery

  • Daylight every corner where people cross, starting with Avenue of the Americas and Bowery approaches. Harden the turns that keep breaking bodies. Source.
  • Give people a head start at signals and slow the turns that kill. Target the morning and early evening hours where injuries stack up. Source.
  • Enforce the repeat‑speeder bill and keep cameras honest by stopping plate obstruction, as A 7997 aims to do. S 4045, A 7997.

Slow the cars. Stop the worst.

Lower speeds save lives. New York City can set safer limits and back them with cameras and speed limiters. The tools are in front of us: daylighting on the block, speed cameras at the school, and the Senate’s speed limiter bill that Kavanagh supported. Glick has put camera bills on the floor. Rivera has backed clearing the corners.

Hudson and W 12 is one corner. There are many. Tell City Hall and Albany you want it fixed. Act here.
