Houston and A: a cyclist down, a pattern unbroken

Manhattan CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 4, 2025

On Oct 25, at E Houston and Avenue A, a taxi driver hit a 70‑year‑old woman on a bike. Police recorded driver distraction. She was injured. Source.

This Month

  • Oct 25: A taxi and a person on a bike collided at E Houston and Avenue A; the cyclist was hurt, and police listed driver distraction. Record.
  • Oct 24: A driver in a Mercedes SUV hit a person on a bike near E 8th Street; the cyclist was hurt. Record.

The toll in this district

Since 2022, 19 people have been killed and 2,723 injured in crashes in Manhattan CB3. Data.

People walking bear the brunt: 15 killed and 584 injured. People on bikes: 636 injured. Data.

Trucks and buses have been especially deadly here, tied to 7 of the 19 deaths. Cars and SUVs account for 6. Data.

The danger spikes at night. Four deaths came around 8 PM. Late hours pile up the injuries. Data.

Where the street bleeds

FDR Drive leads this district in harm, with 4 deaths and 261 injuries. Delancey Street logs 1 death and 155 injuries. Allen Street shows 1 death and 41 injuries. Data.

At Canal and Allen, police recorded a right‑turning bus driver failing to yield, killing an 88‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk on Sep 8, 2023. Crash record.

On July 4, 2024, a pickup driver drove into a July 4 crowd at Water and Jackson, killing four. A judge later found him guilty on top counts. “Daniel Hyden was found guilty on four counts of second‑degree murder,” ABC7 reported. Crash record.

What officials have — and have not — done

Night streets hurt people here. Police cite distraction in many cases. Alcohol shows up in the records too. Data.

There are tools on the table:

  • State bill S 4045 would require intelligent speed limiters for repeat speeders. State Sen. Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee in June 2025. Record.
  • Assembly bill A 2299 is the companion. Assembly Member Harvey Epstein is a co‑sponsor. Record.
  • At City Hall, Council Member Carlina Rivera is the prime sponsor of a bill to build 5,000 secure bike‑parking stations over five years. Int. 1375‑2025.
  • Council Members Christopher Marte and Rivera also co‑sponsor a bill to ban parking near crosswalks. Int. 1138‑2024.

Here, the map points to clear fixes: daylight the corners on Delancey and Allen; harden turns on Avenue D; tighten truck routes and enforcement along FDR and Water; target night hours when deaths cluster. The city and state have the data. They have the bills.

Use the power you have

Four people died in a park on the Lower East Side. A woman went down on Houston and A. The record is public.

Pass the speed‑limiter bills. Build the bike parking. Daylight the corners. Slow the turns. If you want it to stop, act. Start here.
