Seven dead. Hundreds hurt. Same streets, same story on the Upper West Side.
Manhattan CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- Since last August, Manhattan CB7 logged 7 deaths and 433 injuries across 792 crashes. Bikes and walkers absorbed much of it. That’s the record on these blocks. Source
- The dead include a 69‑year‑old woman struck in a left turn at Amsterdam and W 96th, a 57‑year‑old man at Broadway and W 86th, and a 74‑year‑old cyclist at W End Ave and W 70th. Each listed as “Apparent Death” in the city dataset. Amsterdam & 96th, Broadway & 86th, W End & 70th
“Demand for curb space in the city is increasing,” the DOT said as it rolled out paid curb parking overnight on the Upper West Side. Source
Bikes and walkers take the hits.
- Pedestrians: 4 dead, 312 injured. SUVs led the harm to pedestrians in this district. Source
- Cyclists: 2 dead, 279 injured. A turning taxi. A bus parked. A sedan too close. The records list the modes. The injuries pile up. Source
The hours tell on us.
- Crashes climb through the day and into the night. The worst run hits at 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., with spikes at 2 p.m. (3 deaths) and 5 p.m. (1 death). Late night is not quiet: deaths logged at 12 a.m., 2 a.m., 4 a.m., 9 p.m., and 10 p.m. Source
Three corners. One fix.
- Henry Hudson Parkway tops the list here: 2 deaths, 228 injuries.
- Broadway is next: 118 injured, 4 serious.
- Amsterdam Avenue follows: 81 injured.
- These are not mysteries. The dataset tags left turns, straight moves, and night hours. It tags SUVs. It tags failure to yield and distraction. Source
Names in the ledger.
- Nov. 12, 2024, W 96 St at Amsterdam: a driver making a left turn hit a 69‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk. She died. The entry lists she was crossing with the signal. Dataset
- Apr. 23, 2025, W 86 St at Broadway: an SUV going straight struck a 57‑year‑old man at the intersection. He died. Dataset
- Apr. 24, 2025, W End Ave at W 70 St: a 74‑year‑old cyclist collided with a bus. He died. Dataset
Officials know what works — do they?
- The state gave the city the power to drop speeds. “Allowing New York City to lower its speed limit to 20 miles per hour.” That is Sammy’s Law. Source
- “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” the DOT chief said after two people were killed at Canal and Bowery in a 109‑mph crash. The city moved there. The rest of the corridor still waits. Source
Three fixes. Start today.
- Daylight and harden turns on Amsterdam, Broadway, and West End. Protect the crossings with concrete. The left turns kill here. Source
- Target late‑day and night hours on Henry Hudson, Broadway, and Amsterdam with enforcement and calming. The deaths cluster there. Source
- Curb the worst drivers. The Stop Super Speeders bill advanced in Albany to force speed limiters on repeat violators. Senators voted yes in committee. Source
The pattern is citywide. The tools are on the table.
- Lower the default speed limit. Use Sammy’s Law. Source
- Force speed limiters on repeat speeders. Move S4045/A2299. Votes and sponsors are lined up. Senate file, Assembly file
Don’t wait for the next log entry.
- Act here: Take action.
