CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.
CloseBlood on the Crosswalks: How Many More Must Die Before They Act?
Lower East Side: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
Eight dead. Fifteen left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In just over three years, the Lower East Side has seen 1,627 crashes. Cars, trucks, bikes, and mopeds—steel against skin. Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt.
A pickup truck on Water Street crushed four people on July 4, 2024. Three women and a man, all pedestrians, died where they stood. An eleven-year-old boy survived with his face torn open. No warning. No time to run. Crash data from NYC Open Data.
A city worker, fixing a street sign at dawn, was slashed by a delivery cyclist after a near miss. “They weren’t even in the bike lane, they were parked on the corner, fixing the light or the sign or something,” a witness said. The worker bled on the sidewalk. The cyclist fled.
Heavy vehicles—trucks and buses—account for four of the eight deaths, a disproportionate share of fatalities given their smaller share of total crashes.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. Council Member Marte co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to clear sightlines and protect those on foot. The bill sits in committee, waiting. Council records on Legistar.
Senator Kavanagh voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. The law targets the worst offenders, but the carnage continues while the process drags on. Bill details on Open States.
On Canal Street, Council Member Marte said, “The time is long overdue to take action in response to the dire conditions of Canal Street. He pledged his support to take action.”
Political solutions must be citywide, not local gestures. New York must lower its default speed limit across the city and require speed-limiters (intelligent speed assistance) for habitual speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) pushes speed-limiter tech for repeat offenders; implementing citywide lower limits plus targeted speed-limiter requirements would cut kinetic force and save lives.
The Cost of Waiting
Every delay is another body on the pavement. The city has started daylighting intersections and lowering speed limits, but the pace is glacial. The Fifth Avenue redesign cut bike and bus lanes to keep car lanes wide. “We want a real solution to the bike and pedestrian safety issue,” said a community board leader.
The dead cannot wait.
Concrete steps the city and local leaders should implement now:
- Install Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) and hardened curb turns at dangerous crossings.
- Expand daylighting and daylighting enforcement near crosswalks; ban curbside parking that blocks visibility.
- Deploy targeted enforcement and traffic-calming on corridors with high severe-injury and truck involvement.
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand safer streets now.

Rivera Faults Late Greenways Plan and Weak Protections▸Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.
Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.

Rivera Faults Late Greenways Plan and Weak Protections▸Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.
Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.

Rivera Faults Late Greenways Plan and Weak Protections▸Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.
Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.

Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.

Rivera is primary sponsor of bike parking expansion, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety.▸Sep 10 - Int. 1375 orders DOT to install 5,000 bike parking stations over five years — 1,000 a year, 400 on commercial blocks. Secure, well-sited racks aim to clear sidewalks, curb bikes chained to poles, and boost pedestrian and cyclist safety through mode shift and safety‑in‑numbers.
Bill Int. 1375-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Filed 02/26/2025 and listed 09/10/2025. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program." Council Member Carlina Rivera is the primary sponsor. Gale A. Brewer is co-sponsor. The bill would require DOT to install 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000/year; at least 400 commercial-block stations/year), post locations online, and submit a one-time report within six years. Safety analysis notes expanding secure, well‑sited bike parking encourages mode shift, reduces bikes chained on sidewalks, frees pedestrian space, and yields safety‑in‑numbers benefits for cyclists.

Rivera Faults Late Greenways Plan and Weak Protections▸Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.
Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.

According to the police report, the bicyclist was “Semiconscious” and listed as “Injured.” The vehicle showed no damage and was going straight ahead. The report lists contributing factors as “Unspecified,” offering no driver errors despite a crash that left a vulnerable rider hurt on a high-speed corridor. Safety equipment is recorded as “None,” but it is noted only after the lack of identified driver faults in the report.

Rivera Faults Late Greenways Plan and Weak Protections▸Aug 14 - Greater Greenways plan released. It maps gaps and names corridors. No deadlines. No new funding. No firm design standards. Greenways can include paint-only lanes. That risks weak protection and delays safety gains for walkers and riders.
Plan number: none. Status: released Aug. 14, 2025. Committee: none. The matter is described as "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires DOT and Parks to publish and annually update the plan; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan names early action corridors and budgets $7.25 million in federal funds to produce corridor plans by 2028, but construction timelines are missing. Mayor Eric Adams has promoted greenways without clear deadlines. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa said the plan assesses "strengths and weaknesses." Safety note: the plan could improve coordination and routes, but lacks funding, deadlines and firm design standards; defining greenways to include paint-only lanes risks weak protection and delayed safety gains.
