default Mott Haven-Port Morris: a bike, an SUV, a broken armA man on a bike met the right front of an SUV at Bruckner Boulevard and E 138 St on Aug 24. Police recorded driver inattention as a factor. The rider left with a fractured shoulder. NYC Open Data They are one of 1,712 people injured on the streets of Mott Haven–Port Morris since Jan 1, 2022. In that time, 9 people were killed. NYC Open Data Crashes are rising. Through Sep 14, 2025, there were 505 crashes, up 15.8% from the same period last year, with 379 injuries and 3 deaths this year. Period stats Where the street bitesBruckner Boulevard shows up again and again. It leads the list of local hot spots by injuries and deaths. East 135 Street is up there too. NYC Open Data Late day turns deadly. Injuries stack up from late afternoon into the evening, with peaks around 3–8 PM. Local distribution Police records name familiar failures: inattention and failure to yield. They read the same after too many crashes. Local factors Fix the corners, slow the turnsStart where people are getting hit: Bruckner Boulevard, East 135 Street, and E 138 St. Daylight the crosswalks. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened turns so drivers must take them slow. Target failure‑to‑yield enforcement at the evening peak. Local hot spots Big vehicles add risk at these widths. Keep trucks out of crosswalks when turning. Mark no‑standing at corners and keep it clear. Local factors The bills are on the tableAlbany has a tool to stop the worst repeat drivers. Senator Jose Serrano co‑sponsored and voted “yes” on S 4045, which would require speed‑limiting devices for repeat offenders. Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co‑sponsored the matching A 2299. Open States At City Hall, Council Member Diana I. Ayala has backed daylighting near crosswalks. That helps at the corners where people are hit. Council actions Lower speeds save lives, and stopping repeat speeders will save the most. The crash at Bruckner and 138th is not an outlier here; it is the pattern. The Assembly and Senate can finish the job on speed limiters. The city can harden the turns and clear the corners now. Tell them to move. /take_action/ FAQ

Bruckner, then Brook The map repeats the same corners. Bruckner Blvd shows the highest injury burden in the neighborhood’s roll‑up. Brook Ave at E 149 St is where a bus driver’s left turn met a 57‑year‑old on an e‑bike. He died on Feb 25, 2025 (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4795059).

The Stop Super Speeders Act would require drivers with repeated violations to install intelligent speed assistance. In the Senate, S4045 moved with support; Sen. Jose Serrano is listed as a co‑sponsor and voted yes in committee in June 2025 (Open States: S4045). In the Assembly, A2299 carries the same mandate; Assembly Member Amanda Septimo is a co‑sponsor (Open States: A2299). DOT and City Hall hold another lever. Lower the default speed limit. Advocates have pressed for it, and the path is laid out in our citywide brief (CrashCount Take Action). “Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed,” the State Senate noted in an earlier brief on the program’s safety record (NYS Senate). Make the turns safe Here, the fixes are plain. Hardened left turns at Bruckner Blvd. Daylighting and leading pedestrian intervals at 3 Ave and E 138 St. Truck backing controls on E 132 St loading blocks where a driver reversed a tractor truck into a pedestrian in 2024 (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4718348). Nine dead since 2022. Hundreds hurt. The law can slow the worst repeat drivers. The city can slow the streets. Start now. Take one step. FAQ
