Harm clusters at familiar corners. E Gun Hill Road shows 82 injuries. Bouck Avenue has one death and four injuries. NYC Open Data
Danger rises late in the day. The 4 PM hour saw 42 injuries; 9 PM saw 33. NYC Open Data
What the record says about causes
Police recorded driver inattention in the July 10 crash, when a driver turning left struck a person crossing with the signal at Burke Avenue. NYC Open Data
Across this area since 2022, police have cited named factors including inattention/distraction and failure to yield in injury crashes. NYC Open Data
Where to start fixing it
Start at the hot spots. Daylight corners on E Gun Hill Road and Bouck Avenue. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened left turns at high‑injury intersections. Focus left‑turn calming where turning drivers keep hitting people in the crosswalk.
Target enforcement when injuries spike: late afternoon into evening.
The tools in Albany and City Hall
The State Senate’s repeat‑speeder bill would force the worst offenders to slow down. Senator Jamaal Bailey co‑sponsored S 4045. He also voted yes in committee. Open States
School‑zone speed protections were extended this June. Assembly Member John Zaccaro voted yes on S 8344. Open States
Lawmakers also moved a different way. Senator Bailey sponsored S 7785, a bill that weakens certain bus‑operation traffic rules; Zaccaro voted yes. Open States
The pattern on these streets does not bend on its own. Lower speeds and rein in repeat speeders. The fixes exist. Use them.
Take one step now. Tell your officials to act: /take_action/.

Commissioner Clears Officer In Bronx Killing▸Jul 3 - An officer shot an unarmed man during a Bronx traffic stop. The NYPD judge called for firing. The commissioner overruled. The man’s family called it outrage. The system shielded the shooter.
Gothamist (2025-07-03) reports NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch overruled a departmental judge and cleared Lt. Jonathan Rivera, who fatally shot Allan Feliz, unarmed, during a 2019 Bronx traffic stop. Judge Maldonado found Rivera's use of deadly force unjustified, writing it 'requires more than the mere possibility of danger.' Tisch disagreed, citing a 'split-second decision' and risk to another officer. The stop began over a seatbelt. Feliz tried to flee; Rivera fired once, killing him. Tisch's decision echoes the state attorney general, who declined charges. The case highlights the commissioner's power over discipline and ongoing debate about police accountability.
