Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Mott Haven-Port Morris?
Who Dies Next? Streets Are Bleeding. City Hall Hits Snooze.
Mott Haven-Port Morris: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll on the Streets
Three dead. Fourteen left with life-changing wounds. In the last twelve months, Mott Haven-Port Morris has seen 736 crashes. Children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians—no one is spared.
A 57-year-old man on a bike was killed at East 149th and Brook Avenue. A 44-year-old on a moped died at East 149th and Grand Concourse. A 17-year-old boy was crushed by a truck on East 138th. These are not numbers. These are lives cut short, families left with empty chairs.
The Voices in the Aftermath
The pain does not fade. The city moves on. The street stays the same. “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time,” a woman named Nita said after another crash just across the Harlem River.
“I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying,” resident Nina Schmidt added.
Leadership: Votes and Silence
State Senator Jose Serrano voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act—a bill to force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. Assembly Member Amanda Septimo co-sponsored the same bill. Council Member Diana Ayala has backed bills to ban parking near crosswalks and improve street markings. But the deaths keep coming. The fixes come slow.
Most crashes here involve cars, SUVs, and trucks. The city’s own data shows these vehicles are the main threat. The danger is not abstract. It is steel and speed and silence after impact.
What Now?
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them: No more delays. No more deaths. Make every street safe for the most vulnerable.
