Where it happens, when it kills

“What do we do now?”

“Far too many preventable crashes have taken place on Morgan Ave in recent years. We must do more to ensure walkers, cyclists, and drivers are able to use Morgan Ave safely,” Assembly Member Emily Gallagher said last month. Source.

The street fixes are not exotic. Daylight corners. Give people a head start at the light. Harden turns where drivers cut. Protect the bike lanes. Focus truck routes and slow them at crossings. The hotspots above tell DOT where to start. Data.

Who moves next

  • In the Council, Lincoln Restler backs owner‑liability camera enforcement for illegal parking that blocks crosswalks and bike lanes (Res 1024‑2025). He also co‑sponsors a bill to speed up school‑zone safety installations to 60 days after a study (Int 1353‑2025).

What must change now

  • Lower speeds citywide and curb the worst repeat speeders. Those two steps are on the table. See how to push both, and who to call, on our Take Action page.
