Hotspots repeat. 166 St shows two deaths and a serious injury. 147 Street has a death on the record. Linden Boulevard racks up injuries. source

Clear steps at the corners

Pull cars back from crosswalks. The Council’s Intro. 1138 would ban parking within 20 feet of intersections citywide. The Speaker’s office said, “The safety of pedestrians and all street users remains a top priority for Speaker Adams and the council,” while noting the bill is moving through the process. AMNY

Advocates in the Council are pushing for universal daylighting this year. City & State

Local fixes for these corners are not exotic: daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals. Target enforcement when the numbers spike at night. source

Stop the worst repeat offenders

Albany has a bill to force intelligent speed limiters on repeat dangerous drivers. State Sen. James Sanders voted yes in committee on S 4045 on Jun 12, 2025. Open States

The bill targets those with a pattern of violations. It would require speed‑limiting tech that keeps cars within the law. Open States

Who’s accountable here

This is Council District 28, Assembly District 32, and State Senate District 10. Assembly Member Vivian Cook and Sen. Sanders both voted yes to extend school speed zones in June 2025. Open States
The Speaker controls the docket for Intro. 1138. The bill would clear sightlines at every corner. What gives? AMNY City & State

The street, the count, the choice

Three dead here since 2022. One was a child, killed off‑intersection on 147 Street. The numbers rise again at dusk. These are not surprises. They repeat. source

Lower speeds. Clear corners. Pin the worst drivers to the limiters. If you want those changes, make the calls and join the fight. Start here.
