Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Crotona Park?
No Deaths, Just Broken Bodies: Crotona Park’s Streets Still Bleed
Crotona Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Crotona Park
No one died in Crotona Park this year. But the street does not rest. In the last twelve months, 20 people were hurt. One was left with wounds the city calls serious. A leg crushed. Blood on the pavement. A man crossing with the light, struck by a moped. An older woman, bleeding from the head, hit by a truck that did not yield. The numbers do not flinch: 92 crashes since 2022. No deaths. But pain, always pain. NYC Open Data
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and riders take the blows. Trucks, SUVs, sedans, mopeds—they all find flesh. In the last year, a moped ran down a man in the crosswalk. A truck hit a woman crossing without a signal. An SUV left two with broken bodies. The street is a wound that never closes.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city talks of Vision Zero. They count the dead. They promise change. They passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York set its own speed limits. But in Crotona Park, the speed stays the same. Cameras catch speeders, but only where the city puts them. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. The council could bring it back. They have not. The mayor says one death is too many. But the street keeps taking.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. Every crash can be stopped. Lower the speed. Build real protection for people on foot and on bikes. Bring back the laws that hold reckless drivers to account. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to act. Do not wait for the next siren.
Demand action. Demand safety. The street belongs to the living.

Jackson Opposes Assembly Inaction on Safety Boosting Speed Limits▸Families for Safe Streets rallied outside Speaker Heastie’s office. They demanded action on Sammy’s Law. The bill would let New York City set its own speed limits. Lawmakers dodged a vote. Grief and anger filled the air. The Assembly stayed silent.
On June 5, 2023, supporters of Sammy’s Law gathered outside Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s Bronx office. The bill, which would grant New York City local control over its speed limits, remains stalled in the Assembly. The rally, led by Families for Safe Streets, called out lawmakers for refusing to bring the measure to a vote. Fabiola Mendieta-Cuapio, a leading advocate, criticized the lack of transparency: 'We are demanding that the Speaker bring this to a vote.' Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz voiced strong support, but others, like Chantel Jackson, hesitated, citing constituent feedback. The bill’s matter summary states it would not mandate lower limits but allow the city to decide. The legislative process left families of crash victims frustrated and angry. The Assembly’s inaction keeps city streets dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.

Families for Safe Streets rallied outside Speaker Heastie’s office. They demanded action on Sammy’s Law. The bill would let New York City set its own speed limits. Lawmakers dodged a vote. Grief and anger filled the air. The Assembly stayed silent.
On June 5, 2023, supporters of Sammy’s Law gathered outside Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s Bronx office. The bill, which would grant New York City local control over its speed limits, remains stalled in the Assembly. The rally, led by Families for Safe Streets, called out lawmakers for refusing to bring the measure to a vote. Fabiola Mendieta-Cuapio, a leading advocate, criticized the lack of transparency: 'We are demanding that the Speaker bring this to a vote.' Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz voiced strong support, but others, like Chantel Jackson, hesitated, citing constituent feedback. The bill’s matter summary states it would not mandate lower limits but allow the city to decide. The legislative process left families of crash victims frustrated and angry. The Assembly’s inaction keeps city streets dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
