CloseE 169 and Tiffany: a cyclist down. The pattern doesn’t stop.
Crotona Park East: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 31, 2025
On Sep 19, 2025, at E 169 St and Tiffany St, a driver in a sedan and a 19‑year‑old on a bike collided. The cyclist was injured, records show (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 5: A driver going west on Southern Boulevard hit a 47‑year‑old woman at an intersection; police recorded driver inattention (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 21: At Home St and Southern Boulevard, a driver turning left hit a person on a bike; the rider was ejected and suffered a head injury (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 2: On Bruckner Boulevard, a crash injured a woman on a bike (NYC Open Data).
The toll here is not a mystery
Since 2022 in Crotona Park East, traffic crashes have killed 3 people and injured 576 (NYC Open Data). That includes 98 people walking and 44 people on bikes injured. At least 9 were seriously hurt. Trucks and buses injured people walking in 9 cases over this period (NYC Open Data).
Crashes cluster in the rush of the evening. Injuries spike around 6 PM, with 42 injuries recorded at that hour (NYC Open Data).
Southern Boulevard keeps drawing blood
Southern Boulevard is a repeat scene: 1 death and 32 injuries in this area since 2022. E 174 St has at least 8 injuries tied to crashes. Police codes cite driver inattention, failure to yield, unsafe speed, improper passing, and disregarded signals across crashes here (NYC Open Data).
Street fixes are not theory. Hard‑protect turns at Southern and Home. Daylight corners. Add protected space for people on bikes where the harm is worst. Target truck movements and enforce turning rules.
The policy road is open. Will leaders use it?
Families have begged for slower speeds for years. “We are demanding that the Speaker bring this to a vote,” a mother told lawmakers during a rally for Sammy’s Law (Streetsblog NYC).
City Hall and Albany also know repeat speeders are a small group doing big harm. The state Senate’s S 4045 would require speed‑limiters for drivers who rack up violations. State Sen. Luis Sepúlveda, who represents this area, co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee on Jun 11 and Jun 12, 2025 (Open States).
At City Hall, some lawmakers have attacked proven redesigns. In a 2024 oversight hearing, Council Members — including local member Rafael Salamanca Jr. — slammed DOT projects even as data showed fewer crashes and injuries on them (Streetsblog NYC). Another hearing put delivery apps on notice: “Right now, delivery workers are essentially incentivized for speed… often putting the lives of pedestrians at risk,” Councilmember Lynn Schulman said (Gothamist).
Slow the cars, save a life on the corner
Two clear steps now:
- Lower New York City’s default speed limit to 20 MPH under Sammy’s Law.
- Pass speed‑limiters for repeat offenders by enacting S 4045.
Southern Boulevard does not need another memorial. Neither does E 169 and Tiffany. Tell your leaders to act. Start here.
