Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 33?
Hit-and-Run City: Blood on Broadway, Silence at City Hall
District 33: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Just days ago, a man was killed crossing Broadway at Suydam Street. The driver did not stop. Police found the body at 3:45 a.m. and said only, “A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene” (NY Daily News). The victim died before help could arrive. The driver is still out there.
In the last twelve months, eight people have died in District 33. Twenty-five more suffered serious injuries. Nearly a thousand were hurt. The numbers do not slow. They pile up. Each one is a name, a family, a life cut short.
The Slow Grind of Change
Council Member Lincoln Restler has taken some steps. He voted to require taxis to warn passengers about opening doors into cyclists (Legistar legislation). He backed a bill to clear abandoned cars from the street within 72 hours, to keep sightlines open for people on foot and bike. He co-sponsored a law to post safety rules at bike share stations. These are small moves. The street stays the same.
Restler has also called out the NYPD for racial bias in traffic enforcement, calling the disparity “extreme” (Streetsblog NYC). He pushed to remove illegal placard parking that blocks sidewalks and bike lanes (police finally remove cars). He wants parks for people, not for parking (parking or parkland).
But the deaths keep coming. The city moves slow. The street does not forgive.
The Call
Every day, another crash. Every week, another family broken.
Call Council Member Restler. Call the Mayor. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected bike lanes and crosswalks that cannot be blocked. Demand action, not words. Do not wait for another body in the road.
