Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Crotona Park East?
No One Spared: Crotona Park East Bleeds While Leaders Dither
Crotona Park East: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll on Crotona Park East
No one died here last year. But the pavement keeps its own count. In the past twelve months, 144 people were hurt in crashes. Three suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. The numbers do not flinch: 206 crashes, each one a story cut short, a life bent out of shape.
Just this winter, a taxi struck a man on Boone Avenue. The pavement was slick, the brakes failed, and the pedestrian was left with a crushed neck. He was conscious when they found him. He is counted among the lucky. NYC Open Data.
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Rest
Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. In the last three years, they left 61 people hurt—one with injuries that will not heal. Trucks and buses added five more to that toll. Motorcycles and mopeds, one. Bikes, none. The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The numbers do not lie.
Leadership: Votes, Silence, and the Next Fight
Senator Luis Sepúlveda voted yes on a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices. The bill aims to stop the worst offenders before they kill. The bill targets drivers with a pattern of violations, seeking to cut risk for pedestrians and cyclists by limiting repeat speeding. He also backed more speed cameras in school zones. Assembly Member Emérita Torres voted to extend school speed zones. Council Member Rafael Salamanca Jr. has spoken up for warehouse regulation and against fake plates, but also pushed back on street redesigns that make streets safer for people on foot and bike.
Still, the blood does not stop. A witness once described the aftermath: “I saw one lady was out on the ground. They was giving her medical attention, checking her body. She was laid out.”
The Call: Demand More Than Words
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call your senator. Tell them: the sidewalk is not a buffer. The crosswalk is not armor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand real redesigns. Demand enforcement that targets the true danger—speed, weight, and reckless drivers. Do not wait for the next siren.
