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.

Please speed it up." DOT responded that street safety projects are not planned or implemented by borough commissioners, but Salamanca insisted the vacancy leaves the Bronx exposed as crashes and injuries rise. All other boroughs have commissioners. The Bronx waits for leadership as danger mounts.

Salamanca Demands Bronx DOT Borough Commissioner for Safety Accountability▸The Bronx has no DOT borough commissioner. Crashes rise. Council Member Salamanca demands answers. Leadership is missing. Accountability is thin. Other boroughs have commissioners. The Bronx waits. Streets stay dangerous. DOT promises a hire. The clock ticks.
On September 13, 2023, the City Council held an oversight hearing on the Department of Transportation’s leadership and street safety in the Bronx. Council Member Rafael Salamanca (D-Concourse Village) pressed DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, stating, "There is no borough commissioner in the borough of the Bronx." The Bronx has lacked a permanent commissioner since November 2021. Salamanca demanded a timeline for filling the role, arguing, "There needs to be a level of accountability and our level of accountability is reaching out to that borough commissioner. Please speed it up." DOT responded that street safety projects are not planned or implemented by borough commissioners, but Salamanca insisted the vacancy leaves the Bronx exposed as crashes and injuries rise. All other boroughs have commissioners. The Bronx waits for leadership as danger mounts.
