Harlem’s kill zones: nine dead, hundreds hurt, and a city that still won’t slow down
Manhattan CB9: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Henry Hudson takes the most. Riverside takes its share. Since 2022, Manhattan CB9 has seen nine people killed and 1,267 injured in 2,627 crashes, with 19 listed as serious injuries, according to city data (NYC Open Data).
Motorcycles, SUVs, sedans. Bikes and bodies. The toll keeps coming in.
Where the bodies fall
The Henry Hudson Parkway is the worst corridor in CB9: two deaths and 199 injuries. Riverside Drive adds another death and 24 injuries. Amsterdam Avenue and 125th and 145th Streets pile up dozens more injuries.
At 10:52 p.m. on Aug. 3, 2023, a 42‑year‑old motorcyclist died on the Henry Hudson. The record lists ejection, helmet used, and driver factors: “Unsafe Speed” and “Tinted Windows” (CrashID 4651573).
At W 155th and St. Nicholas, a bicyclist died at 10:42 p.m. on Nov. 2, 2024. Police logged driver inattention and unsafe speed in a collision with an SUV (CrashID 4768346).
On May 10, 2025, at 11:55 p.m., an SUV struck a 73‑year‑old man at W 135th Street. He was recorded “Semiconscious,” then “Killed.” The database calls it “Pedestrian/Bicyclist/Other Pedestrian Error/Confusion.” The SUV was “Going Straight Ahead” (CrashID 4812753).
The clock tells on us
Nights are bad. Injuries climb through the late hours. Between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., injuries spike, with deaths logged at 10 p.m., 11 p.m., and midnight hours. The 10 p.m. hour shows 82 injuries and two deaths; 11 p.m. has 57 injuries and three serious injuries; midnight holds 76 injuries and a serious injury (NYC Open Data).
Drivers hit most pedestrians here. SUVs and cars account for the bulk of cases: 172 pedestrian injuries and two pedestrian deaths tied to SUVs and sedans in the rollup. Trucks and buses injure too, but far less often (NYC Open Data).
Why the pain keeps coming
“Unsafe speed” is present in fatal files. “Driver Inattention/Distraction” appears again and again. The board’s contributing factors list speed, inattention, failure to yield, and red‑light disregard across hundreds of injuries, with multiple deaths under “other” and “vulnerable road user error” buckets (NYC Open Data).
At Bowery and Canal last month, a stolen car doing more than 100 mph killed two people. The city moved to harden the site. “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said the transportation commissioner (Gothamist). It should not take two dead to fix a corner. “Canal Street is only as safe as its most dangerous block,” an advocate said, warning most of the corridor “will remain deadly” even after changes (Gothamist).
Fix the streets that kill
Start where the numbers are worst. Harden turns and narrow lanes on Henry Hudson access points in CB9. Install raised crossings and daylight corners on Riverside Drive and along 125th and 145th. Late‑night hotspots need speed control and signal timing that protects people on foot and on bikes. Repeat crash sites need repeat fixes.
City Hall and Albany have tools and use them when pushed. The Council sent the state a message to let the city set lower limits. “The city’s ability to control the speed limits on its streets plays a crucial role in delivering traffic safety,” said the DOT commissioner at the time (Streetsblog NYC).
Albany advanced a bill to stop the worst repeat speeders with speed‑limiting tech. Senator Cleare co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee on S 4045, which requires intelligent speed assistance for drivers with repeat violations (Open States). On the Assembly side, local members signed on to A 2299 to mandate the same devices for habitual speeders (Open States).
Lower speeds save lives. Pass the devices. Drop the default. Then go back to the corners where blood has already dried and rebuild them.
If you want this to stop, act. Tell City Hall to set safer speeds and back the bills that rein in repeat speeders. Start here: take action.

"What’s happening in West Harlem – it’s working." -- Shaun Abreu
On October 11, 2023, Mayor Eric Adams announced support for the Sanitation Department's plan to repurpose 150,000 parking spaces for containerized garbage collection. The policy, unveiled by DSNY, aims to move trash from sidewalks into closed bins, targeting cleaner streets and less sidewalk clutter. The mayor said, 'Everyday New Yorkers are tired of the rodents, they’re tired of the trash, and this is a small price to pay on ensuring that you can have cleaner streets.' Council member Shaun Abreu, representing West Harlem, voiced strong support, citing visible improvements from the local pilot. The plan requires smaller buildings to use wheeled bins on sidewalks, while larger buildings would get shared curbside containers. The city faces pushback from some residents, but Adams insists street cleanliness is a top concern. No formal safety analysis was provided, but the move could clear sidewalks for pedestrians and reduce hazards from trash piles.

"What’s happening in West Harlem – it’s working." -- Shaun Abreu

The policy, unveiled by DSNY, aims to move trash from sidewalks into closed bins, targeting cleaner streets and less sidewalk clutter. The mayor said, 'Everyday New Yorkers are tired of the rodents, they’re tired of the trash, and this is a small price to pay on ensuring that you can have cleaner streets.'

"What’s happening in West Harlem – it’s working." -- Shaun Abreu
On October 11, 2023, Mayor Eric Adams announced support for the Sanitation Department's plan to repurpose 150,000 parking spaces for containerized garbage collection. The policy, unveiled by DSNY, aims to move trash from sidewalks into closed bins, targeting cleaner streets and less sidewalk clutter. The mayor said, 'Everyday New Yorkers are tired of the rodents, they’re tired of the trash, and this is a small price to pay on ensuring that you can have cleaner streets.' Council member Shaun Abreu, representing West Harlem, voiced strong support, citing visible improvements from the local pilot. The plan requires smaller buildings to use wheeled bins on sidewalks, while larger buildings would get shared curbside containers. The city faces pushback from some residents, but Adams insists street cleanliness is a top concern. No formal safety analysis was provided, but the move could clear sidewalks for pedestrians and reduce hazards from trash piles.
