Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Highbridge?

Highbridge Bleeds While City Sleeps: Demand Safe Streets Now

Highbridge: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll in Highbridge

No one died on the streets of Highbridge this year. But the blood never stopped. In the last twelve months, 107 people were hurt in 184 crashes. Not one week passes without someone limping away, or not walking at all. The youngest injured was under 18. The oldest, over 75. The pain does not discriminate. Data source

Serious injuries are rare, but luck is not a plan. Two people suffered wounds the city calls “serious.” That means broken bones, torn flesh, or worse. Most wounds are called “moderate.” The words do not heal. The numbers do not comfort. They only count the bodies.

Patterns That Don’t Change

Cars and SUVs hit hardest. In the last three years, SUVs and sedans caused the most pain. Nine pedestrians were struck by SUVs. Four by sedans. Buses and unknown vehicles added to the toll. No one was killed, but the scars remain. Crash data

Speed is the silent killer. Crash after crash, the story repeats. Unsafe speed. Driver inattention. Following too close. The same mistakes, the same results. The city lowers speed limits, but the wheels keep spinning.

Leadership: Promises and Delays

The city says it wants zero deaths. Vision Zero. New speed limits. More cameras. But in Highbridge, the pace is slow. The city passed Sammy’s Law, letting leaders set 20 mph limits. They could act now. They have not. Cameras catch speeders, but only where they are installed. The rest of the streets are left to chance.

No bold moves from local leaders. No public fights for more cameras. No push for protected bike lanes. No outcry for safer crossings. The silence is loud. The wounds are fresh.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. It is policy. Every injury is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand 20 mph limits. Demand more cameras. Demand streets where children can walk without fear.

Take action now.

Traffic Safety Timeline for Highbridge

Int 0037-2024
Stevens sponsors bill raising e-mobility fines, analyst warns worsens street safety.

Council moves to hike fines for riding bikes, e-bikes, and scooters on city sidewalks. The bill targets sidewalk riding with stiffer penalties. No mention of street safety or driver accountability.

Bill Int 0037-2024 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since February 8, 2024. The measure, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...increasing civil penalties for operating a bicycle, bicycle with electric assist, or electric scooter on the sidewalk,' seeks to raise fines for sidewalk riding. Council Members Stevens (primary), Gennaro, Ung, Brewer, Brannan, and Morano sponsor the bill. The action: referral to committee. The summary states, 'This bill would increase each of the existing civil penalties for operating a bicycle, a bicycle with electric assist (commonly referred to as an “e-bike”), or an electric scooter on the sidewalk.' No safety analyst assessment is available. The bill focuses on penalties, not on street design or driver behavior.


S 6808
Serrano votes yes to create safety zones, improving street safety for all.

Senate passes S 6808. The bill creates first responder safety zones. It sets speed limits in these zones. Lawmakers act after crashes and close calls. The vote is strong. The danger is real. The streets demand change.

Senate bill S 6808, titled 'Relates to establishing first responder safety zones and setting speed limits in such safety zones,' moved through committee and passed multiple Senate votes between May 2023 and March 2024. Primary sponsor John Mannion led the push, joined by Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., Iwen Chu, and Pamela Helming. The bill aims to carve out protected zones for first responders and lower speed limits in those areas. The measure passed with broad support, reflecting urgency after repeated crashes near emergency scenes. The bill’s text and votes show lawmakers responding to the deadly toll of reckless driving near first responders. Vulnerable road users—pedestrians, passengers, and responders—stand in harm’s way. The bill targets that risk.
