Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx CB1?

Bronx Streets Bleed While Leaders Stall

Bronx Streets Bleed While Leaders Stall

Bronx CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025

The Toll in Blood and Silence

Five dead. Nineteen left with injuries that will never heal. This is Bronx CB1 in the last year. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or promises. They only count the bodies.

Just this spring, a 57-year-old man on a bike was killed by a bus at East 149th and Brook. In June, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a taxi on East 149th. The street does not forgive. It does not care if you are walking, riding, or waiting for the light. It only takes.

The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Rest

Most deaths come from cars and trucks. Four killed, thirteen left with broken bodies. Motorcycles and mopeds took one life and hurt twenty-two. Bikes left eleven hurt, but none dead. The street is not equal. The bigger the machine, the more it takes.

What the People See, What the Leaders Do

Residents see the truth. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” said Nita. Another voice cuts through: “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying,” said Nina Schmidt.

Local leaders have taken some steps. State Senator Serrano voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. Assembly Member Septimo co-sponsored a bill to force speed limiters on the worst drivers. Council Member Ayala backed a ban on parking near crosswalks. But the blood keeps coming. The street does not wait for paperwork.

The Next Step Is Yours

This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them to finish the job. Lower the speed limit. Build the barriers. Stop the killing. Do not wait for another name on the list.
