We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets — Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4) — filtered to Council District 19 and the period 2022-01-01 through 2025-08-31. We counted total crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and deaths; tallied mode (pedestrian, cyclist, motor vehicle occupant); and summarized locations and hours. Data was accessed Aug 31, 2025. You can start from the public datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

Which streets are the most dangerous in this district?

The Cross Island Parkway and the Whitestone Expressway top the list by harm since 2022, with the Cross Island tied to 4 deaths and 403 injuries, and the Whitestone to 2 deaths and 267 injuries, per NYC Open Data’s crash records.

When are crashes most deadly here?

District data show multiple deaths recorded at 2 AM, 7 PM, and 10 PM within the 2022–2025 window, indicating evening and late-night hours as recurring danger periods.

What can actually make this safer now?

Concrete steps in this district include daylighting and hardened left turns at surface-street conflict points, raised crossings and LPIs on feeders to the expressways, and targeted late-night speed control on the Cross Island. Citywide, lowering default speeds and requiring speed limiters for repeat offenders would cut risk; tell your lawmakers to act [/take_action/].
