The Toll in Flesh and Bone

A woman, age 64, died on the Major Deegan Expressway. She was walking. A sedan hit her. The crash broke her body. The street stayed open. NYC Open Data

In the last twelve months, eighty-four people were injured in crashes across Bronx CB26. Two were hurt so badly their lives will never be the same. No one calls it a massacre. But it is a steady bleed. NYC Open Data

The Machines That Maim

On Jerome Avenue, a sedan struck a man at the intersection. He survived, but his head bled. The record says “unsafe speed.” The street stays the same. NYC Open Data

Leadership: Words, Not Deeds

The city talks about Vision Zero. They say every life matters. They point to new speed limits and more cameras. But in Bronx CB26, the numbers do not move fast enough. One death. Dozens of broken bodies. The council and the mayor have the power to lower the speed limit to 20 mph. They have not done it. NYC Open Data

What Comes Next

This is not fate. This is policy. Streets can be changed. Speeds can be lowered. Cameras can be kept on. But only if you demand it.

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to use the power they have. Lower the speed. Harden the streets. Protect the people who walk.

Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Act now.
