This year to date, police recorded 4 deaths, up from 0 at the same point last year, and 518 injuries versus 477 last year. Data.

Nights are bad. Deaths stack up in the small hours and again after dark. The worst clusters hit around 1–3 AM and 7–11 PM. Data.

Police list human mistakes we can fix: inattention, failure to yield, running signals. Each shows up in the ledgers here. Data.

Corners that don’t forgive

Bruckner Boulevard and the Major Deegan keep hurting people. Bruckner Boulevard has 169 injuries logged. The Major Deegan shows four deaths and 284 injuries. Data.

E 149th is its own red line: the past month alone brought a truck striking a pedestrian at 3rd Avenue and a teen on a bike hit at Grand Concourse. Oct 28 record, Oct 20 record.

Fixes are known and local: daylight the crosswalks on E 149th, add leading pedestrian intervals, harden left turns, and calm speeds on Bruckner approaches. Target trucks at night with enforcement where the deaths cluster. These are standard tools; the crash records point to where to use them. Data.

Albany has the keys. Will they turn them?

Two bills would cut the worst harm.

  • The Stop Super Speeders Act would require speed limiters for drivers who rack up violations. In the Senate, S 4045 has moved with support from State Senator Jose Serrano; he co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee. Bill file.
  • The Assembly version, A 2299, has local backing from Assembly Member Amanda Septimo, who co‑sponsored it. Bill file.

City lawmakers can drop speeds where people live and walk. The city already has the power to set safer limits and has begun lowering speeds on select streets. The next step is clear: make 20 MPH the rule on residential streets. Background.

Council Member Diana Ayala has backed several street safety bills, including efforts on daylighting and project transparency. The violence on E 149th is still here. What changes, and when, will be measured in bodies, not press releases. Records.

Do the one thing today

Lower speeds. Stop repeat speeders. If you live here, tell your reps to pass the speed‑limiter bills and push the city to set 20 MPH on residential streets. Start here.
