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.
CloseAnother Child Dead. How Many More Till City Hall Acts?
Upper West Side-Manhattan Valley: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Toll: Lives Changed in an Instant
A 13-year-old girl killed by an SUV at Cathedral Parkway and Manhattan Avenue. An 81-year-old man left semiconscious after an SUV turned into him at West 105th. A 39-year-old cyclist crushed on Amsterdam Avenue. In three and a half years, two people have died and six have been seriously injured on these streets. The numbers are small. The pain is not.
SUVs and cars did most of the harm—one death, two serious injuries, dozens more hurt. Trucks and buses left another with a brain injury. Bikes and mopeds have drawn blood, but the deadliest force is always the car.
The Pattern: No End in Sight
In the last year alone, 141 crashes. Sixty-four people injured. Two left with wounds that will not heal. One child did not come home. The old and the young, the walker and the cyclist, all at risk. The street does not care who you are. It only takes.
The Response: Promises and Pressure
Local leaders have moved. Senator Cordell Cleare and Assembly Member Micah Lasher voted to extend school speed zones and keep cameras rolling, a step that improves child pedestrian safety. Cleare also backed a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters, aiming to curb repeat dangerous driving.
But the street is still a gauntlet. Cameras catch only some. Laws move slow. The city has the power to set a 20 mph limit. It has not used it. Every day of delay is another day of risk.
The Call: Demand More, Demand Now
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit, redesign the crossings, and end the carnage. Do not wait for another child’s name to be written in chalk.

City Eyes Overhaul For 14th Street▸Jul 29 - City, BIDs, and agencies plan a $3 million study to reshape 14th Street. The goal: safer space for walkers, cyclists, and buses. The busway may become permanent. Cars lose ground. Change moves slow.
New York Magazine - Curbed (2025-07-29) reports city officials and business groups will fund a $3 million, two-year study to redesign 14th Street. The plan aims for a 'complete street'—space for pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and limited cars. The article notes, 'Their (mostly) shared goal is to make 14th into what's often called a complete street.' The study will assess traffic flow and street dynamics. The busway, which restricts cars, may become permanent. No crash or injury data is cited, but the focus is on systemic street changes, not individual driver actions.

""We urge the DOT not to wait for more crashes and deaths on Canal Street to act."" -- Mark Levine
On July 24, 2025, Kevin Duggan issued a policy statement after a double fatal crash at the Manhattan Bridge's Canal Street entrance.

""We urge the DOT not to wait for more crashes and deaths on Canal Street to act."" -- Mark Levine
