Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Manhattan CB5?
Midtown’s Body Count: The Killers Still Have Keys
Manhattan CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
Blood on the Asphalt: The Toll in Midtown
Seven dead. Nineteen seriously hurt. That’s just the last twelve months in Manhattan CB5. The numbers do not flinch. They do not pause for breath. In this small patch of Manhattan, the street keeps taking.
Just last week, a 65-year-old man rode his e-bike down Second Avenue. A 21-year-old, driving a Nissan Rogue, hit him and fled. The man was left with severe head trauma. Paramedics found him unconscious and started CPR in the street. The driver was arrested two hours later, charged with leaving the scene and driving without a license. The bike’s red light kept flashing in the road (Streetsblog NYC, West Side Spirit).
A few days before, a speeding car on the Manhattan Bridge killed a cyclist and a woman sitting on a bench. Police found guns and alcohol in the car. The driver refused a breathalyzer. Council Member Christopher Marte called out the city’s neglect: “It is time for the city to take action.”
The Pattern: Vulnerable Lives, Repeat Offenders
Most of the dead are not drivers. They are walkers, cyclists, elders. In the last year, three people over 65 were killed. Two more over 75. One was crossing with the signal. Another was on a bike. One was just sitting.
The killers are often repeat offenders. A small group of drivers rack up tickets and keep driving. The city has the power to stop them. It does not use it.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some leaders move. State Senator Liz Krueger voted yes to require speed-limiting devices for repeat speeders. Assembly Member Tony Simone co-sponsored bills to expand camera enforcement and hold vehicle owners liable.
But the carnage continues. The city can lower the speed limit to 20 mph. It has not. Cameras catch speeders, but the worst keep driving. The street stays hungry.
Call to Action: Make Them Hear You
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand real penalties for repeat offenders. Demand streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another red light to blink in the dark.

City Eyes Overhaul For 14th Street▸City, BIDs, and agencies plan a $3 million study to reshape 14th Street. The goal: safer space for walkers, cyclists, and buses. The busway may become permanent. Cars lose ground. Change moves slow.
New York Magazine - Curbed (2025-07-29) reports city officials and business groups will fund a $3 million, two-year study to redesign 14th Street. The plan aims for a 'complete street'—space for pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and limited cars. The article notes, 'Their (mostly) shared goal is to make 14th into what's often called a complete street.' The study will assess traffic flow and street dynamics. The busway, which restricts cars, may become permanent. No crash or injury data is cited, but the focus is on systemic street changes, not individual driver actions.
