Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester?
No More Names on the List: End the Killing on Bronx Streets
Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll: Lives Shattered, Streets Unforgiving
Five dead. Twelve seriously hurt. In Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester, the numbers do not tell the whole story, but they do not lie. Since 2022, crashes have left 967 people injured. The dead do not speak. The wounded carry scars. In the last twelve months, three people died and 340 were hurt in 399 crashes. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared.
A 60-year-old man was killed on Givan Avenue. The cause: driver inattention and unsafe speed. The record reads, “Crush injuries. Apparent death.” No more details. No more days. NYC Open Data
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Human Cost
SUVs and sedans do most of the harm. Of the pedestrian injuries and deaths, 114 came from cars and SUVs, 8 from trucks and buses, 1 from a moped, 2 from bikes. The street is not neutral. The bigger the vehicle, the harder the blow.
A witness saw a woman “laid out” on the ground after a crash. “They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out,” said Samuel Cherry. The sound of the crash stays with the living. “It was a terrible sound – it was a terrible incident that happened,” said Jennifer.
The Response: What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. He also backed the expansion of school speed zones. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has supported red light camera expansion and bills to cut driving miles, but in the past, he blocked city control over speed limits. Progress comes slow. Lives are lost in the waiting.
The Call: Demand Action, Not Excuses
Every crash is preventable. Every delay is a choice. Call your council member. Call your state senator. Tell them: Lower the speed limit. Expand camera enforcement. Require speed-limiting devices for repeat offenders. Do not wait for another name on the list.
Act now.
Citywide fixes are necessary. Lower NYC’s default speed limit across the city, and require speed limiters (intelligent speed assistance) for habitual speeders. Those two moves — lower limits plus enforced tech limits for repeat offenders — would turn local pain into a citywide brake on deadly driving.

According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement.

According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers. Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.

Bailey Praises Safety Boosting Bronx Transit Accessibility Upgrades▸Crews will gut and rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn stations. Four new elevators will rise. Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.
On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers. Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.
