The toll in these blocks
Since 2022, in Manhattan CB10, drivers have killed 2 people on bikes and 2 people walking. Another 474 people on bikes and 511 people walking have been injured. NYC Open Data.
The 3 PM hour is the worst for injuries here, with 167 recorded. Early evening is brutal too. NYC Open Data.
Police records name driver inattention and failure to yield again and again. In this area, officers logged 76 injuries tied to inattention and 28 tied to failure to yield. NYC Open Data.
Corners that keep breaking
Crashes pile up on 8th Avenue and along Harlem River Drive. One death on each, and heavy injury counts. St. Nicholas Avenue and W 125th also stand out. NYC Open Data.
The pattern is plain in recent files: left turns into crosswalks at St. Nicholas, lane changes into cyclists on Frederick Douglass, and mid‑corridor hits on W 125th. NYC Open Data.
What would help here is not novel. Daylighting and hardened turns at St. Nicholas and W 125th. Leading pedestrian intervals and protected approaches where turns keep hitting people. Targeted failure‑to‑yield enforcement in the late‑afternoon peak. These are basic tools; the crash logs point to where. NYC Open Data.
Who moves next
City Hall controls paint, signal timing, and street design. The Council Member for this area, Yusef Salaam, is already sponsoring a pilot to use high‑visibility markings on deadly streets (Int 1154‑2024). Put them on St. Nicholas, Lenox, and W 125th now.
Albany holds the throttle on the worst repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) advanced this year with State Senator Cordell Cleare backing it as a co‑sponsor and voting yes in committee. Open States. The Assembly Member for this area, Jordan Wright, voted yes to extend school speed zones in 2025 (S8344).
Street fixes on these corners. Lower speeds everywhere. The tools exist. Use them.
Take one step today. Tell your officials to make these changes and pass the limiter bill. Start here.
