Seven Dead in Silence: Manhattan Streets Are Killing Fields
Manhattan CB11: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 7, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
Seven dead. Eight hundred seventy-nine injured. Ten left with wounds that will never heal. That is the cost of traffic violence in Manhattan CB11 in the last twelve months. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or promises. They only count the bodies.
Just this year, two people were killed on the streets. Five hundred forty-one were hurt. Serious injuries doubled compared to last year. The disaster does not come all at once. It comes in the slow grind of crashes—1,015 so far this year, up 46% from last year (NYC Open Data).
The Names Behind the Numbers
A man, 53, was crushed by an SUV on Harlem River Drive. He died in the dark hours of January. A 66-year-old man was killed on 5th Avenue near 135th Street. A 35-year-old woman, a passenger on a motorcycle, died on East 106th. The road does not care about age or reason. It only takes.
The Voices of the Street
Residents see the danger. They speak, but the city moves slow. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” said a woman named Nita after a cyclist was struck nearby. Another man said, “The crowding and the traffic signals are a problem.”
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Council Member Diana Ayala has co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to clear sightlines and protect those on foot. She has voted for pavement markings and transparency bills. But the carnage continues. Most deaths happen on streets without real protection.
Senator Jose Serrano voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs voted to extend school speed zones. These are steps, but they are not enough. The dead cannot wait for another study.
The Next Step Is Yours
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected bike lanes. Demand daylight at every crosswalk.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
