Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in CB 104?

Preventable Speeding in CB 104 School Zones

(since 2022)
Late night on 10th Avenue, a cyclist goes down

Late night on 10th Avenue, a cyclist goes down

Manhattan CB4: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025

Just after midnight at W 38th Street and 10th Avenue, a driver in a taxi and a person on a bike collided. The cyclist, a 41‑year‑old woman, was injured (NYC Open Data).

In the past month, this district logged more than one bad night. Since Jan 1, 2022, Manhattan CB4 has seen 5,316 crashes, with 19 people killed and 2,296 injured (NYC Open Data). The hours add up. So do the bodies.

This Month

  • Oct 24: A cyclist was hurt at W 38th and 10th; the crash involved a taxi (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 23: A 22‑year‑old on an e‑bike was injured near W 20th Street in a crash with a sedan; the car’s driver was licensed, the rider was recorded as partially ejected (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 9: A 70‑year‑old taxi driver died at W 42nd Street and 12th Avenue (NYC Open Data).

The numbers don’t flinch

This board’s streets recorded 2,296 injuries and 19 deaths since 2022 (NYC Open Data). Bicyclists alone were in 510 crashes with 512 injuries and 4 deaths in that span, while people walking were in 618 crashes with 638 injuries and 6 deaths (NYC Open Data). The pain runs through the day. The 10 PM hour stands out with four deaths; late morning and mid‑afternoon hours also show multiple fatalities (local analysis of NYC crash data).

8th and 11th: steady harm

City crash data show repeated injuries and deaths on 8th Avenue and 11th Avenue. Those corridors appear at the top of the local hotspot list over this period (local analysis of NYC crash data). Police also recorded “failure to yield” by drivers as a factor in dozens of injuries here since 2022 (local analysis of NYC crash data).

The tools are on the table

Albany gave New York City the power to lower speed limits. “This is about trying to eliminate all unnecessary deaths, and one of the ways you do that is by making the speed limit lower,” said Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal when lawmakers moved to allow a 20 MPH default (Gothamist).

There is also a bill to rein in repeat speeders with speed‑limiting tech. In the State Senate, S 4045 advanced; State Sen. Brad Hoylman‑Sigal co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (Open States). In the Assembly, Tony Simone co‑sponsored the companion A 2299 for speed limiters and A 7997 to expand camera enforcement and stop plate‑obscuring that defeats cameras (Open States; Open States).

On the city side, Council Member Erik Bottcher backed a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, a basic daylighting step linked to safer turns (Int 1138‑2024) (NYC Council record via local timeline).

What this district needs now

  • Daylight the crash corridors: hard‑nose the corners, ban standing at crosswalks, and add leading pedestrian intervals on 8th and 11th Avenues (local analysis need; enabled by Int 1138‑2024).
  • Harden turns and build protected lanes where bikes and trucks mix along 11th and 12th Avenues (local analysis of NYC crash data).
  • Target the deadly hours with consistent camera enforcement and focused NYPD operations at known hotspots (supported by city and state camera authority; see A 7997 and S 4045 pathways).

The laws exist or are within reach. The names are on the bills. The crashes keep coming. Lower the default speed. Pass the speed‑limiter law. Then enforce it.

Take one step now: ask City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
