Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 46?
Seventeen Dead—How Many More Before Narcisse Acts?
District 46: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Seventeen dead. Thirty-two left with injuries that change a life. That’s the toll in District 46 since 2022. The dead include children, elders, and people just trying to cross the street. In the last twelve months alone, five people were killed and 1,250 injured. The violence does not slow. It does not choose its victims. It finds them in crosswalks, on corners, in the middle of the day.
The Latest Losses
Just this January, a child was killed crossing at East 88th Street and Avenue L. She was in the crosswalk. She did not make it home. In November, a 66-year-old man was struck and killed at Rockaway Parkway and Seaview Avenue. He was on foot. He died in the street. The stories repeat. A 14-year-old, dead at Glenwood Road. A 60-year-old, dead at Flatbush Avenue. The numbers are steady. The pain is not.
Leadership: Steps and Stalls
Council Member Mercedes Narcisse has taken some steps. She backed the bill to decriminalize jaywalking, calling out the racial bias in enforcement: “Enforcement has disproportionately impacted certain communities, with 96.5 percent of jaywalking tickets this year issued to Black and Hispanic New Yorkers.” She voted yes on bills to remove abandoned vehicles and speed up pavement markings, both meant to clear sightlines and mark danger for drivers and walkers alike.
But there is drift. Narcisse has also sponsored bills that put the burden on cyclists and scooter riders—requiring more rules, more warnings, more hoops. These do not slow cars. They do not stop the killing. The street stays the same. The bodies pile up.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every death is a choice to wait. Call Council Member Narcisse. Demand a street where a child can cross and live. Demand action that slows cars, narrows lanes, and puts people first. Do not wait for another name on the list.
