This year, crashes are down while harm climbs: 230 crashes and 164 injuries so far, compared with 283 crashes and 129 injuries at this point last year. Deaths are zero this year; there was one last year. NYC Open Data
Police reports in this area often cite failure to yield and distraction. Evening hours hit hard; injuries spike late afternoon into night. NYC Open Data
Fordham Road bleeds
East Fordham Road is a top hotspot for injuries and death here. So is Southern Boulevard. NYC Open Data
Transit riders on Fordham Road were promised faster, safer buses. Years of delay followed. “Our hope is that we DOT stays with us and we’re implementing this,” the MTA’s transit chief said in 2023, as the city scaled back the strongest fixes after political pushback. Streetsblog NYC
Name the levers. Use them.
At Webster and 188th, police recorded failure to yield and unsafe speed by the tow‑truck driver. The fix is not mystery work. Daylight the corners. Give walkers a head start. Harden the turns. Enforce yielding in the crosswalk.
On policy, Albany has a tool to rein in the worst drivers. In the Senate, Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsored S 4045 and voted yes in committee; the bill would require speed‑limiting devices for repeat offenders. Open States In the Assembly, George Alvarez co‑sponsored the companion A 2299. Open States
Fordham Road still waits for the strong bus‑lane design riders were promised. Council Member Oswald Feliz has been a vocal critic of a robust busway there; the MTA and advocates urged the city to stay the course. Streetsblog NYC What gives?
The next step is not abstract
The same corners keep breaking bodies. The same hours. The same acts recorded by police: failure to yield; unsafe speed.
Lower speeds save lives. Stop repeat speeders. Build the bus lanes that clear space for people. The tools are on the table. Use them.
Take one step today. Tell City Hall and Albany you want slower speeds and real enforcement. Act here.

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.
