Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in CB 201?

Preventable Speeding in CB 201 School Zones

(since 2022)
Three people walking hit in a week. Same streets. Same pain.

Three people walking hit in a week. Same streets. Same pain.

Bronx CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 24, 2025

On Sep 16, just after 11 AM UTC, at E 138 St and St Anns Ave, two people walking were hurt. Police logged driver inattention and turning movements to the right and left at the corner (NYC Open Data crash record).

This Week

  • Sep 16: A driver turned right and another turned left at E 138 St and St Anns Ave; two people walking were injured (crash record).
  • Sep 14: A driver in a sedan hit a person walking near 460 E 138 St; she suffered fractures (crash record).
  • Sep 10: A bus driver going straight hit a man walking at E 156 St and St Anns Ave (crash record).

The toll does not let up

Since Jan 1, 2022, Bronx Community Board 1 has had 4,810 crashes, 23 deaths, and 3,039 injuries, including 74 serious injuries (NYC Open Data). This year, crashes are down a bit from last year, but deaths and injuries are higher: 807 crashes, 4 deaths, 597 injuries in 2025 to date, versus 852 crashes, 3 deaths, 568 injuries in the same period last year (NYC Open Data).

Heavy vehicles are in the mix. For people on foot here, buses and trucks account for at least 46 pedestrian injuries this period, with 7 serious injuries and 1 death attributed to those drivers, alongside steady harm from cars and SUVs (NYC Open Data). Evenings bite hard: deaths stack up in the late hours around 7 PM and 10 PM, a pattern that repeats year over year (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep breaking people

The danger centers on known corridors. Police reports tie high counts of injuries and deaths to the Major Deegan Expressway, Bruckner Blvd, and 3 Avenue in this board. East 149 Street also carries a heavy load (NYC Open Data). Police list “disregarded traffic control,” “driver inattention/distraction,” and “failure to yield” among recorded factors in severe outcomes here (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data).

Fix what we can see:

  • Daylight crosswalks and harden turns at E 138 St and E 156 St along St Anns Ave.
  • Left‑turn calming and leading pedestrian intervals on East 149 Street.
  • Targeted evening enforcement at repeat hot spots along Bruckner and the Deegan.

The policy levers are on the table

Citywide tools can cut the speed that makes these crashes lethal. Lowering default speeds and installing limiters on the worst repeat offenders are ready to go.

  • State Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored the Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) and voted yes in committee in June 2025 (Open States).
  • Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co‑sponsors the Assembly version A2299 (Open States).
  • Council Member Diana I. Ayala has backed several street‑safety bills locally (CrashCount timeline).

The harm keeps coming on the same corners. The laws exist. Use them.

Take one step now: ask City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
