Twelve Dead, 1,600 Hurt—Still No Action
Manhattan CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
One death. Eleven left with injuries so severe they changed lives. That’s just the last twelve months in Manhattan CB4. The numbers are steady, unyielding. In three and a half years, twelve people have died and over 1,600 have been hurt on these streets. Most were walking or riding. Most never saw it coming.
The Latest Crashes: No End in Sight
Just last year, an 86-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal at 8th Avenue and West 25th. The driver was in an SUV, turning left, not yielding. She died from head injuries. The crash report lists “failure to yield right-of-way” and “driver inattention” as causes. The driver was unlicensed. The woman never made it to the other side, according to NYC Open Data.
A 23-year-old cyclist died on West 36th Street. She was hit by an e-bike. The city calls it “driver inexperience” and “distraction.” The details are spare. The loss is not.
The Voices on the Street
People see what’s happening. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” said a woman named Nita. Another resident put it plain: “The crowding and the traffic signals are a problem,” said Jordan.
Leadership: Progress and Delay
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal voted yes on a bill to require speed limiters for repeat speeders, aiming to keep the worst drivers from killing again. Assembly Member Tony Simone co-sponsored bills to expand speed camera enforcement and hold reckless drivers accountable. Council Member Erik Bottcher sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, a simple fix that saves lives. But the deaths keep coming. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not used it.
What Now: No More Waiting
Every day of delay is another day someone doesn’t come home. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit, fix the crossings, and end the silence. The slow grind of traffic violence will not stop on its own. It takes a city to end it.
