Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in CB 107?

Preventable Speeding in CB 107 School Zones

(since 2022)
Two people, one street, one driver backing up

Two people, one street, one driver backing up

Manhattan CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025

On Oct 24, 2025, on W 76th Street near 216, a driver backing an SUV hit a 34‑year‑old woman and a 7‑year‑old girl outside a crosswalk. Police recorded driver inattention and inexperience as factors (NYC Open Data).

The toll does not stop

Since 2022, people walking here have paid with their lives. Nine pedestrians have been killed in Manhattan CB7, with 397 more injured, alongside two cyclists killed and hundreds hurt (NYC Open Data). The deaths come on ordinary corners: Amsterdam Avenue at W 96th Street, where a left‑turning SUV killed a 69‑year‑old woman on Nov 12, 2024 (NYC Open Data); Cathedral Parkway at Manhattan Avenue, where a 13‑year‑old girl was killed on Oct 24, 2024 (NYC Open Data).

The pattern is steady. This year, crashes in this district are up 2.8% from last year to 693, and deaths rose from 2 to 6 (NYC Open Data). Late afternoons are cruel: at 2 PM alone, three people were killed across the period; at 4 PM, five people suffered serious injuries (NYC Open Data).

Where it hurts

Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue, Columbus Avenue, West End Avenue, and the Henry Hudson Parkway are repeat sites for injuries and death in this district (NYC Open Data). Police reports here name failure to yield, inattention/distraction, disregarding traffic controls, and unsafe speed among the recorded factors in crashes that kill and maim (NYC Open Data).

These are not acts of God. A left turn. A glance down. A foot too heavy at the wrong second. People on foot do not walk away from that.

The fixes that are on the table

City law now allows New York to lower speed limits. Albany advanced Sammy’s Law to “allow NYC to lower [the] speed limit to 20 mph,” and advocates said, “Lower speed limits save lives” (amNY). The city can choose to use it.

In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders Act would require repeat violators to use speed‑limiting technology (S4045/A2299) (S 4045, A 2299). Our State Senator Brad Hoylman‑Sigal co‑sponsored S 4045 and voted yes in committee (S 4045). Our Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal co‑sponsored the Assembly version (A 2299) and also backed a bill to expand camera enforcement against plate obstruction and extend speed cameras (A 7997) (A 7997). Our Council Member Gale A. Brewer co‑sponsored a daylighting bill to ban parking near crosswalks (Int 1138‑2024) in the Council record.

Local steps are plain:

  • Daylight every crosswalk on Amsterdam, Broadway, and Columbus to stop blind turns and yield failures (Council bill on daylighting is co‑sponsored by Brewer in the record).
  • Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened left turns at known turn‑crash corners like Amsterdam at W 96th.
  • Target enforcement to peak danger hours, 2–5 PM, at the corridors above.

Use the tools or count the bodies

The mother and child on W 76th Street lived. Others did not. The path forward is written in the record, not in hope.

Lower the speed. Curb the repeat offenders. Fix the turns. Call for it now. See how, here.

Brewer Backs Harmful Anti-Daylighting Move To Preserve Parking

Sep 30 - Brewer dropped a daylighting bill after DOT's 'scare tactics'. She said the policy would 'gobble up' parking. The move preserves curb parking over visibility. Intersections stay blind. People walking and biking face higher crash risk.

"the policy will gobble up too many parking spots" -- Gale A. Brewer

Bill number: none provided. Status: abandoned on 2025-09-30. Committee: not listed. Key date: report published 2025-09-30. The matter titled "Gale’s A-Blowin’: Brewer Abandons Daylighting Bill After Push By Parking-First DOT" records Council Member Gale Brewer pulling her daylighting proposal after DOT's anti-daylighting 'scare tactics.' Brewer said, "the policy will gobble up too many parking spots." Streetsblog NYC flagged the retreat. Safety analysts note that dropping daylighting to preserve parking maintains poor intersection sightlines and turning conflicts, increasing crash risk for people walking and biking, and that prioritizing curb parking undermines system-wide safety gains and discourages mode shift.
