Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Morrisania?
Blood on Webster: Morrisania’s Streets, City Hall’s Silence
Morrisania: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
Five dead. Five hundred and one injured. That is the price Morrisania has paid since 2022. Children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians—none spared. In the last year alone, one person killed, 154 injured, four left with life-altering wounds (NYC Open Data).
A man crossing Webster Avenue never made it home. The driver fled. A neighbor stood on the sidewalk, voice flat: “That was like my brother. He remember he was a good guy, a family guy. A whole father.” (ABC7)
A 14-year-old girl, struck in the crosswalk. A cyclist, 24, thrown from his bike. A 65-year-old woman, crushed by a turning truck. The numbers pile up. The names vanish.
Who Bears the Weight?
SUVs and cars did most of the damage. In three years, they killed one, seriously hurt two, and left dozens with broken bodies. Trucks and mopeds added to the count. Bikes caused no deaths here, but their riders are not immune.
The city touts new laws, lower speed limits, and more cameras. But in Morrisania, the blood dries faster than the promises. Speed cameras work only where they are installed. Laws mean nothing without action. The streets remain the same.
Leadership: Words or Will?
Local leaders have the power. They can demand more cameras, redesign deadly intersections, and lower speed limits. They can push for real change, not just talk. But the silence is loud. The dead cannot vote. The injured cannot march.
What Now?
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras, more daylight, more space for people. Do not wait for another name to be lost.

Intro 988, introduced on April 11, 2023, targets the sale of fake license plates in New York City. The bill, sponsored by Oswald Feliz, Marjorie Velázquez, and Lincoln Restler, amends laws to ban selling counterfeit tags, with fines starting at $1,000 for first offenses and $2,000 for repeat violations. The measure was brought before the City Council and discussed at a City Hall press conference. The matter summary states the bill 'goes after the unscrupulous used car dealers profiting considerably off a huge black market for phony tags.' Restler, as a sponsor, joins efforts to curb the spread of ghost cars, which evade speed cameras and tolls, making streets more dangerous for everyone. Lawmakers stress that the goal is deterrence, not revenue, and call for further action from online marketplaces and federal agencies.
