Manhattan CB10: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025

The Numbers Don’t Lie—People Do

Five dead. Thirty-five left with serious injuries. In the last three and a half years, Manhattan CB10 has seen 3,022 crashes. The numbers are blunt. The pain is sharper. Two of the dead were children or elders. One was a three-year-old girl, crossing with the signal at Lenox and 135th. She never made it to the other side. Her mother was hurt too. The SUV kept turning, according to NYC Open Data.

A 59-year-old man on a bike was crushed by a bus on Lenox. A 45-year-old cyclist, Devon Hughley, was killed by a driver fleeing police. His sister said the arrest brought “some peace”—but the posters with his face still hang in the hallway, as reported by NY Daily News.

Most of the injured are young. In the last year, 32 children were hurt. One died. The streets are not safe for them. Or for anyone.

Leadership: Promises and Delays

The city has the power to lower speed limits. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The Council can act. The Mayor can act. They have not. Cameras that catch speeders and red-light runners are proven to save lives, but their future is always in doubt. Each delay is another family left to grieve.

No local leader has stood in front of the cameras here to say, “Enough.” No new law has made these corners safer. The silence is heavy. The danger is heavier.

What Comes Next—And Who Will Demand It

This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power to leave things as they are. Every delay is a decision. The dead do not get to vote. The living do.

Call your council member. Call the Mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never go dark. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home.

Do not wait for another poster in the hallway. Act now.
