Crosswalk at Bruckner and Leggett. A life ends. The driver keeps going.
Bronx CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after midnight at Bruckner Boulevard and Leggett Avenue, a driver hit 32‑year‑old Dilmania Lopez de Rodriguez in the crosswalk and fled, police said. She was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital. ABC7, NY Daily News, NYC Open Data.
She is one of 12 people killed on Bronx Community Board 2 streets since Jan 1, 2022. City crash data show 2,932 crashes and 1,659 injuries in that span. NYC Open Data.
Nights are long here
Deaths stack up after dark. The 9 PM hour alone saw 144 injuries and five serious injuries over the period. Early mornings are bad too: 6–7 AM brought 2 deaths and 41 injuries; 7–8 AM brought 1 death and 67 injuries. NYC Open Data.
This year is worse than last. Year‑to‑date, crashes are up 14.8%, injuries up 7.7%, and deaths up 200% against the same point last year. Serious injuries climbed from 1 to 7. NYC Open Data.
Where the street bleeds
The harm clusters on the big roads. Bruckner Boulevard logged 271 injuries; Westchester Avenue saw 52 injuries and 2 deaths; the Bruckner Expressway corridor counted 96 injuries and 1 death. NYC Open Data.
Trucks kill here. A dump truck turning right on Tiffany Street crushed a 29‑year‑old cyclist on Aug 9, 2023. A box truck starting from a parking spot on Oak Point Avenue killed a 61‑year‑old man on Apr 17, 2025. Crash 4652722, Crash 4807051.
Power and delay
Bronx leaders demanded accountability. “There is no borough commissioner in the borough of the Bronx… Please speed it up,” Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. told DOT at a 2023 hearing. Streetsblog NYC.
They also vowed leverage. “It gets to a point where you have to use your power of voting to get the attention of the city,” Salamanca said in 2024 on regulating last‑mile warehouses that flood streets with trucks. Gothamist.
State action is moving on the worst drivers. In 2025, State Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045, which would require speed‑limiting devices for repeat offenders; Senator Luis Sepúlveda also co‑sponsored and voted yes. Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co‑sponsored the Assembly version A 2299. Open States.
Fix what we can see
Start where the bodies fall. Harden turns and add daylighting at Bruckner Boulevard and Leggett Avenue. Give leading pedestrian intervals on Westchester Avenue and Southern Boulevard. Set truck‑safe routing and slower turns at Oak Point and Tiffany.
The pattern is clear. The next steps are, too: slow the cars and stop the repeat speeders. City lawmakers can lower speeds; Albany can rein in the worst drivers. The street at Bruckner and Leggett will still be there tomorrow. We decide who survives it.
Take one step now. Ask your officials to act on slower speeds and speed limiters: Take action.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.

The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.
On April 23, 2025, city officials and Con Agg Global announced a new floating freight dock at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The project, backed by the Economic Development Corporation and Council Member Rafael Salamanca, aims to move food by boat and e-cargo trike instead of trucks. The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote. No direct safety analyst assessment was provided, but the shift promises fewer trucks where people walk and ride.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.
On April 23, 2025, city officials and Con Agg Global announced a new floating freight dock at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The project, backed by the Economic Development Corporation and Council Member Rafael Salamanca, aims to move food by boat and e-cargo trike instead of trucks. The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote. No direct safety analyst assessment was provided, but the shift promises fewer trucks where people walk and ride.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.
On April 23, 2025, city officials and Con Agg Global announced a new floating freight dock at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The project, backed by the Economic Development Corporation and Council Member Rafael Salamanca, aims to move food by boat and e-cargo trike instead of trucks. The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote. No direct safety analyst assessment was provided, but the shift promises fewer trucks where people walk and ride.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.
On April 23, 2025, city officials and Con Agg Global announced a new floating freight dock at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The project, backed by the Economic Development Corporation and Council Member Rafael Salamanca, aims to move food by boat and e-cargo trike instead of trucks. The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote. No direct safety analyst assessment was provided, but the shift promises fewer trucks where people walk and ride.

Salamanca Backs Safety Boosting Freight Shift From Trucks▸Apr 23 - A new floating freight dock opens at Hunts Point. One thousand trucks a month will vanish from Bronx streets. Boats and cargo bikes will haul food across the city. Less diesel. Fewer big rigs. The city shifts freight off the road, onto water.
On April 23, 2025, city officials and Con Agg Global announced a new floating freight dock at the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. The project, backed by the Economic Development Corporation and Council Member Rafael Salamanca, aims to move food by boat and e-cargo trike instead of trucks. The matter summary states: 'Replacing truck trips with boat trips and cargo bikes is a key feature of the city's urgent push to shift cargo trips out of big trucks.' EDC President Andrew Kimball said, 'The goal is, over time, to move more and more of this food out of Hunts Point not by truck, but by water with e-cargo trikes.' The dock will remove one thousand trucks per month from South Bronx streets. Officials plan to expand docks citywide. The bill’s status is an active infrastructure rollout, not a legislative vote. No direct safety analyst assessment was provided, but the shift promises fewer trucks where people walk and ride.
