Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Yankee Stadium-Macombs Dam Park?
Kids Bleed While City Waits
Yankee Stadium-Macombs Dam Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
One death. Eighty-five injuries. One serious injury. That is the toll in Yankee Stadium-Macombs Dam Park since 2022. These are not just numbers—they are neighbors, children, workers. In the last year, two children were hurt: a four-year-old struck by a bike, and a teenager hit by a car. The street does not care who you are. It only takes.
Red Lights, Broken Lives
On a Sunday night in June, a 15-year-old boy rode his scooter north on Jerome Avenue. A motorcyclist ran the red at East 167th. The boy was hit, left in the street, and the driver sped away. Police said, “A 15-year-old boy riding his scooter was critically hurt when a Bronx motorcyclist blew through a red light, slammed into him and sped away.” Police said
No one stopped. No one helped.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city says it is working: speed cameras, lower limits, more enforcement. But the law that lets the city set safer speeds—Sammy’s Law—sits unused. The city could lower the speed limit to 20 mph today. It has not. The cameras that catch speeders are at risk of going dark if Albany does not act. The streets stay fast. The children stay at risk.
The Call
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to use the power they have. Lower the speed. Keep the cameras on. Do not wait for the next siren. Take action now.
