Corners that don’t forgive

4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue corridors lead the harm here. 4th Avenue shows 5 deaths and 300 injuries; 3rd Avenue shows 2 deaths and 207 injuries. NYC Open Data

Late afternoons stack injuries and deaths. Around 4 PM, this area recorded heavy casualties. NYC Open Data

What leaders did — and didn’t

Albany renewed New York City’s 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. AMNY Streetsblog

In the Senate, Andrew Gounardes sponsored the school speed zone bill and voted yes; Steve Chan voted no. Open States

On repeat dangerous driving, the Senate’s Stop Super Speeders bill would require intelligent speed assistance for drivers with a pattern of offenses. Senator Andrew Gounardes sponsored it and voted yes in committee; Senator Steve Chan also voted yes in committee. In the Assembly, Marcela Mitaynes co‑sponsors the companion bill A2299. Open States

Fix what we can see

Start where people are dying: 3rd and 4th Avenues. Daylight corners. Add leading pedestrian intervals. Harden turns. Separate bike space where bikes already flow. Target late‑day enforcement at the worst crossings. NYC Open Data

Citywide, two steps would cut the speed that kills: lower the default limit and put speed limiters on the worst cars. Both are on the table. Push the city to use its power to drop speeds, and Albany to pass the speed‑limiter bill. /take_action/

A person was hit on 3rd Avenue this month. We know where people are breaking. We know how to slow them. The next move is ours.
