Spofford and Manida: a woman down, a pattern that won’t stop
District 17: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 8, 2025
On Oct 3, at Spofford Ave and Manida St, a driver in a 2017 Mercedes SUV hit a woman walking in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded driver distraction and failure to yield. She suffered severe cuts and survived (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4847260).
Since 2022 in Council District 17, 41 people have been killed and 4,870 injured in 8,421 crashes (NYC Open Data). Year to date, crashes are 1,618, down from 1,778 a year ago; deaths are 8, injuries 1,065, and serious injuries 20, up from 17 (NYC Open Data).
Nights take people
Deaths pile up late. At 10 PM there were 3 deaths and 9 serious injuries; at 11 PM, 4 deaths; at 3 AM, 6 deaths, over this period in this district (NYC Open Data). Police records show pedestrians most often hurt by drivers of SUVs and cars here (NYC Open Data).
Corners that carry grief
Westchester Avenue leads the list: 4 deaths and 185 injuries. East 163 Street follows with 132 injuries and 5 serious injuries. Viele Avenue shows 2 deaths and 3 serious injuries (NYC Open Data). At East 161 Street and Melrose Avenue, a 24‑year‑old on an e‑bike was killed in a crash reported as speed‑related (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4705065). On East 149 Street and Brook Avenue, a 57‑year‑old man on a bike was killed by a left‑turning bus (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4795059).
The record, on paper
“This borough has no commissioner,” Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. told DOT in 2023. “Please speed it up” (Streetsblog NYC). Since then he has voted to remove abandoned cars fast (Int 0857-2024) and backed decals warning taxi riders to look for cyclists (Int 0193-2024). He also co‑sponsored bills on e‑bike registration and borough traffic teams (Legistar).
What would help, right now
Slow turning and clear sightlines at the worst corners: daylighting, hardened turns, and leading walk times at Westchester Avenue and East 163 Street. Night enforcement where deaths stack up: from 10 PM through the small hours. Truck routes and protected space for people on bikes on East 149 Street and Melrose Avenue. These are basic tools. They save lives when installed.
Citywide, two levers can cut the harm: lower the default speed limit and stop repeat speeders with limiters. New Yorkers can push for both and for fixes on their block. Start here: /take_action/.
