York and 72nd, 5 AM
Manhattan CB8: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just after 5 AM on Aug 30, 2025, at York Avenue and E 72nd Street, a taxi hit a person on foot. He died (NYC Open Data).
He was one of 13 people killed on Manhattan CB8 streets since Jan 1, 2022 (NYC Open Data). This year, crashes in the district are up 33.6% from last year to date, with deaths rising from 1 to 5 and serious injuries from 5 to 8 (NYC Open Data).
This is the pattern. Dawn hours are deadly here. From 4 to 6 AM, five people were killed across these years (NYC Open Data).
This week on our streets
- Aug 30: A pedestrian was killed at York and 72nd. The vehicle recorded was a taxi (NYC Open Data).
Where the blood pools
FDR Drive leads the toll here: 3 deaths and 337 injuries. Two Avenue is next: 2 deaths and 67 injuries. East 85th Street claims another life on the board (NYC Open Data).
Failures repeat. Drivers running lights and failing to yield show up again and again in the case files (NYC Open Data). Cars and SUVs do most of the harm; trucks and buses kill too (NYC Open Data).
Leaders knew the risk
The Queensboro Bridge path has been delayed and argued over. Lawmakers warned the mayor in April: “Any further delays to this project that is otherwise ready to open will unnecessarily put at risk the thousands of New Yorkers who cycle and walk the current shared path every day” (Streetsblog NYC). The bridge sits on CB8’s edge. The bodies are not abstract.
Your state senator, Liz Krueger, voted yes in committee on the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) to force repeat violators to install speed limiters (Open States). Your assembly member, Rebecca Seawright, co‑sponsors the matching speed‑limiter bills (A 2299 and A 7979) (Open States; Open States). Your council member, Julie Menin, backs daylighting and curb extensions that clear sightlines and slow turns (Int 1138‑2024; Int 0285‑2024) (Streetsblog NYC).
Make the next turn a safe one
- Daylight every corner near the hotspots. Add hardened turns and Leading Pedestrian Intervals on York, Second, and around FDR Drive. Target failure‑to‑yield and red‑light runs during the dawn hours that keep killing people (NYC Open Data).
- Open safe, dedicated space where crowds are forced to mix — including the Queensboro approach — and keep it open (Streetsblog NYC).
- Citywide, lower speeds and stop the worst repeat offenders. Albany’s tools are on the table: pass and enforce the speed‑limiter bill; use the city’s authority to drop limits on local streets. The record shows who dies when we wait (Open States; NYC Open Data).
One man died in the dark at York and 72nd. Don’t let the next one be a line in a spreadsheet. Act here.

The bill is in committee, with Powers urging Mayor Adams and the FDNY to support it, stating, 'There is a clear consensus that a battery swap program will save lives.' Mayor Adams questioned the program's cost and called for federal, state, and Council funding. FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh backed the need for safe batteries for delivery workers.
