Just after 6 AM on Sep 10, 2025, a person on a bike was injured in a crash involving a parked SUV at 2 Ave and E 35 St. NYC Open Data
This Month
- Sep 5: an 81‑year‑old woman walking was injured mid‑block near E 57 St by an SUV. NYC Open Data
- Sep 4: a 38‑year‑old woman crossing with the signal at 1 Ave and E 34 St was injured by an SUV. NYC Open Data
The toll does not let up
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Manhattan CB6 there have been 4,596 crashes, leaving 12 people dead and 2,704 injured, including 38 with serious injuries. NYC Open Data
People walking and on bikes bear much of it: pedestrians account for 6 deaths and 613 injuries; people on bikes 4 deaths and 613 injuries. NYC Open Data
This year isn’t kinder. By this point last year, no one had been killed. This year, 4 people are dead. NYC Open Data
Corners that keep taking
Two corridors stand out in the record: FDR Drive and 1 Avenue show the most deaths in this district’s dataset. NYC Open Data
Police reports in these crashes cite driver inattention, disregarding signals, and failure to yield among the factors. These are choices that repeat, block by block. NYC Open Data
Heavy vehicles do damage here. A bus driver killed an 82‑year‑old man while making a left at 2 Ave and E 37 St on Apr 29, 2022. Another bus driver killed a 49‑year‑old man at 3 Ave and E 28 St on Jun 16, 2025. NYC Open Data
Simple fixes, right now
On 1st and 2nd, hardened left turns, daylighted corners, and leading walk signals can slow drivers and protect crossings. On FDR approaches, tighten turning radii and add physical separation where bikes and walkers cross slip lanes. For trucks and buses, enforce turning speeds and safer routing at problem junctions.
The people with the pen
This district’s Council Member, Keith Powers (District 4), backed the 34th Street busway revival, saying, “It’s time to get buses moving faster, and the busway will do just that.” AMNY
In Albany, State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez (SD 59) co‑sponsored and voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045); Sen. Liz Krueger (SD 28) also voted yes; and Assembly Member Harvey Epstein (AD 74) co‑sponsored the Assembly companion A 2299. These bills would require repeat dangerous drivers to use speed limiters. NYS Senate S4045 Open States S4045
The pattern is clear on these streets. The tools exist. Use them.
Take one step today. Ask city leaders to lower speeds and rein in repeat speeders: Take Action.
