No Deaths, Hundreds Hurt—Slow the Streets Before Blood Is the Price

Windsor Terrace-South Slope: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll on the Street

No one died in Windsor Terrace-South Slope these past three years. But the wounds are everywhere. 236 people hurt. One left with injuries so severe, the word ‘serious’ is all the record gives (NYC crash data). A cyclist, 28, thrown from his bike on 7th Avenue. A 21-year-old, helmeted, scraped and bruised after a motorcycle and SUV met on Terrace Place. Children, too—13 injured since 2022.

Crashes do not care about age. The numbers cut across every group. Young adults, parents, elders. The street does not forgive.

The Machines That Hit

Cars and SUVs did the most harm. Sedans and SUVs caused the majority of pedestrian injuries. One moped, one motorcycle, and a handful of bikes added to the count. But the metal is not the story. The story is the body on the ground, the limp arm, the blood on the curb.

What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done

The city talks about Vision Zero. They tout speed cameras, lower limits, and intersection redesigns. But here, the pace is slow. The law lets the city drop speed limits to 20 mph. It has not happened yet.

Speed cameras work, but they are always at risk. Albany must renew them. Every delay is a risk taken with someone else’s life.

No deaths is not victory. Sixty-five people injured in the last year alone. Crashes are not fate. They are the cost of inaction.

What Comes Next

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit now. Demand more cameras, more protected crossings, more action.

Do not wait for the first death.

Take action now.
