No More Excuses: Bronx Streets Are Killing Us

Bronx CB10: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

Just last week, a 71-year-old woman died on Bartow Avenue. A 79-year-old man drove his car into two others and a pole. The impact threw her from the seat. She lay on the ground as medics worked. “One lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out.” Six others were hurt. No one ran. No one was arrested. The street swallowed another life.

A few days later, a Mustang jumped the curb at East 149th and Courtlandt. Six people on the sidewalk were hit. The driver ran. “Cops are looking for a man who rammed into six people after botching a turn at an intersection in the Bronx, authorities said Wednesday.” The city calls these accidents. The bodies say otherwise.

The Numbers That Don’t Lie

In the last twelve months, 773 crashes. 517 people hurt. 6 left with injuries so bad they may never walk right again. One dead.

The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors. They are the old woman on Bartow. The man on the sidewalk. The child who never made it home. Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. Trucks and buses crush. Motorcycles and mopeds maim. Bikes are rare, but the street is not safe for anyone who walks.

What Leaders Do—And Don’t

Senator Nathalia Fernández voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act. She backed the extension of school speed zones. Assembly Member Michael Benedetto did the same. These are steps. But the streets are still waiting. Council Member Kristy Marmorato calls congestion pricing a “cash grab” and fights to keep parking mandates. She says, “We live in a transit desert where cars are a necessity for daily activities.” The streets fill with cars. The bodies pile up.

The Call

This is not fate. This is policy.

Call your council member. Call your senator. Tell them to finish the job. Lower the speed limit. Build real protection for people on foot and bike. End the era of excuses. Every day of delay is another body on the ground.
