Night streets, hard numbers: Mott Haven’s toll
Mott Haven-Port Morris: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Mott Haven-Port Morris is bleeding out in the dark.
Nine people are dead here since 2022. Cyclists. Pedestrians. Riders. Most hurt are car occupants, but the unprotected pay the price. The city’s own data says so (NYC Open Data).
Nights are the danger hours
Between midnight and 3 a.m., injuries stack up. The hour after midnight alone shows 76 injuries. Another 61 at 1 a.m., 38 at 2 a.m., 29 at 3 a.m. Deaths appear at 0:00, 1:00, 2:00, 7:00, 11:00, 19:00, 21:00, and 22:00. The pattern is steady and cruel (NYC Open Data).
SUVs and sedans hit most pedestrians here. Trucks and buses add weight to the harm. One in this dataset was a truck that killed a person on foot (NYC Open Data).
Bruckner and 3rd: pain comes in waves
Bruckner Boulevard leads the list: 58 injuries and one death tied to that corridor. The Bruckner Expressway shows 65 injured. 3rd Avenue has 53 injuries. East 135th Street has 51. East 141st has 22. These are repeat scenes. Same streets. Same outcomes (NYC Open Data).
Link the names to the places. A 57-year-old cyclist died at East 149th and Brook after a bus left turn. The record says “Apparent Death.” One line. No comfort (NYC Open Data). A 22-year-old passenger died where Bruckner meets Southern. A tanker truck turned left. A moped went straight. The passenger did not walk away (NYC Open Data). A 17-year-old pedestrian died on East 138th Street. The truck kept going straight. The file notes “Crush Injuries” (NYC Open Data).
The count keeps rising
This year, crashes in this area are up about 21% versus last year to date. Injuries up about 27%. Three people dead so far, after zero at this point last year. Numbers don’t bend to hope. They mark the loss and move on (NYC Open Data).
Across all modes since 2022: Occupants suffer the most injuries. But cyclists have three deaths. Pedestrians have one. Riders of small motorized vehicles have one. The bodies are light; the vehicles are not (NYC Open Data).
What officials say while families bury their own
“They didn’t provide a ton of notice,” said a Manhattan community board manager about a sudden curb policy shift far from here, another sign taped up at night while neighbors slept (West Side Spirit). The city talks of redesigns to “improve the pedestrian experience” miles away, next year, with $3 million on a marquee street (NY1).
On the Bronx River Parkway, two riders died. Police said a 21-year-old tried to pass, hit a Volkswagen, then two motorcycles. “Police have arrested and charged a man with vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated,” reported one outlet. A sister said, “Two people were killed. He was drunk” (Gothamist; NY Daily News).
The street fixes this neighborhood can’t wait for
- Daylight every corner on Bruckner Boulevard and 3rd Avenue. Clear sightlines stop turning crashes. Use posts and paint. Harden the turns.
- Give walkers time first at signals on East 135th and East 149th. Leading intervals. Short cycles. Keep trucks in their lanes.
- Target the late hours. The data flags midnight to 3 a.m. Bring focus to the hot blocks. Make speed the exception, not the rule (NYC Open Data).
Citywide steps that take the knife out of speed
Albany handed the city the tool to set lower limits. The city can drop residential speeds. The call for a default 20 mph is on the table. The ask is simple: slow the cars, save the people (Take Action).
In Albany, lawmakers pushed bills to fit repeat violators with speed limiters. State Sen. José Serrano voted yes in committee to move S4045 forward. Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co-sponsored the matching A2299. The bills require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up points or a stack of camera tickets (Open States: S4045; Open States: A2299).
“Speed kills,” our own campaign says. The families know this. So do the numbers. The question is whether the city will use the power it already has (Take Action).
Take one step today. Tell City Hall and your council member to lower the default speed and back the speed‑limiter bills. One call can move a vote. One vote can spare a life (Act now).
