Jerome and Goble: a bike, a sedan, and another body on the ledger
Mount Eden-Claremont (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 8, 2025
Early evening at Jerome Avenue and Goble Place, a 19-year-old on a bike met the front of a 2006 Honda sedan. He left with a fractured leg and foot, conscious, listed as injured. Police recorded the driver changing lanes; the cyclist was going straight ahead (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 1, at Grand Concourse and E 170 Street, a 21-year-old on a bike suffered a hip fracture when a Ford SUV driver going straight hit him (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 28, near Marcy Place, a 60-year-old woman walking was injured; the taxi was recorded as parked (NYC Open Data).
- Jul 9, at Jerome Avenue and Edward L Grant Highway, two people crossing with the signal were seriously hurt by the driver of a 2023 SUV making a right turn; police noted alcohol involvement and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Since Jan 1, 2022, this part of Mount Eden–Claremont (West) has seen 4 deaths, 12 serious injuries, and 805 injuries in 1,395 crashes (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians account for 171 injuries and 7 serious injuries; people on bikes for 50 injuries and 2 serious injuries, in this small area alone (NYC Open Data).
The pattern holds this year. Crashes are up slightly over last year-to-date, with injuries higher as well in this neighborhood (NYC Open Data). At 8 PM, injuries peak at 52. Midnight is not far behind at 37. The bodies pile up by the hour (NYC Open Data).
Corners that keep breaking people
Two corridors dominate the harm: the Cross Bronx Expressway area and Jerome Avenue. The Cross Bronx shows the worst toll with 2 deaths and 142 injuries; Jerome Avenue shows 0 deaths but 30 injuries and 3 serious injuries. East 170 Street adds another 1 death and 55 injuries (NYC Open Data).
Police reports in this zone flag failure to yield, driver inattention/distraction, improper passing, and drug and alcohol involvement among recorded factors. Names on forms. Broken bodies on the ground (NYC Open Data).
What would help here is not theory. Daylighting at corners where parked cars block sight lines. Hardened right turns at Jerome and Edward L Grant, where a driver mowed through people in the crosswalk. Leading pedestrian intervals and enforced crosswalk priority at E 170 Street. Targeted night enforcement at the hours when injuries spike. Truck routing that keeps the biggest vehicles off local turns that clip people walking and biking. These are standard moves, not experiments (NYC Open Data).
The buck has names and votes
This neighborhood sits in Council District 16, Assembly District 84, and State Senate District 32. State Senator Luis Sepúlveda co-sponsored and voted yes on S 4045, the bill to put speed limiters—intelligent speed assistance—on cars linked to repeat dangerous driving (Open States). The Senate moved it through committee with yes votes in June 2025 (Open States).
City Hall has the power to cut speeds on local streets. Use it here. Slow turns. Shorten crossings. Keep repeat speeders from turning a corner into a morgue. The tools are on the table.
Do the simple things now
- Lower speeds on neighborhood streets. Enforce them.
- Install daylighting, hardened turns, and LPIs at Jerome, E 170 Street, and other repeat sites.
- Push Albany to finish the job on speed limiters and back it with real enforcement.
This block does not need another vigil. It needs someone to pick up the phone. Start here.
