Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Manhattan CB12?
Manhattan Bleeds While Leaders Stall: Demand Safe Streets Now
Manhattan CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll This Year
Two deaths. Eleven serious injuries. Four hundred twenty-two hurt. That is just this year in Manhattan CB12. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or habit. They keep coming.
Just days ago, a cyclist was struck at West 181st and Cabrini. The driver made a U-turn, hit her, and ran. The officers checked the victim, then left. The car sat empty. The street stayed dangerous. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” a resident told CBS New York. The intersection has a record. It is not a good one.
Patterns That Do Not Break
In the last twelve months, 687 people were injured in crashes here. Two died. Fourteen were seriously hurt. The pain is not spread even. Young adults, working people, elders, children—none are spared. Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. But trucks, bikes, mopeds, all have left blood on the street.
The numbers do not lie. They do not forgive. They do not wait for the city to act.
Leadership: Steps and Silence
Local leaders have moved, but not enough. State Senator Robert Jackson voted yes to extend school speed zones and to back the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install limiters in the State Senate. Assembly Member Manny De Los Santos co-sponsored the same bill in the Assembly. These are steps. They do not fix the streets today.
Residents are not fooled by talk. “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying,” said Nina Schmidt to CBS New York. The fear is daily. The fixes are not.
Call to Action
The street will not change itself. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people walking and riding. Do not wait for another name on the list. Do not let silence win.
