CloseMount Hope Bleeds: City Stalls, Bodies Fall
Mount Hope: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Mount Hope
No one died in Mount Hope this year. But the blood still runs. In the last twelve months, 224 people were hurt in crashes here. Three were left with serious injuries. Children, elders, men and women—no one is spared. Crashes come day and night. A 71-year-old woman, crossing with the signal, was struck and left unconscious at Jerome and Burnside. A man’s leg crushed, a head split open, a life changed in seconds. The numbers pile up. The pain does not end.
The Machines That Hurt Us
Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. In three years, they caused 32 pedestrian injuries, including four serious ones. Motorcycles and mopeds hit 13, leaving one with a serious injury. Bikes hurt two. Trucks, buses, and even an ambulance added to the count. No one walks these streets without risk.
What Has Been Done—And What Has Not
The city talks of Vision Zero. They say the streets are safer. They point to new laws, like Sammy’s Law, that let the city lower speed limits. But in Mount Hope, the danger remains. The city has the power to set a 20 mph limit. They have not used it. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Promises are made. Action is slow. The bodies keep coming.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. These are not accidents. Every injury is a choice made by leaders who delay, who wait, who do not act. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets that do not bleed.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.
On July 29, 2024, Mayor Adams’ cancellation of the Fordham Road offset bus lane left Bronx riders stranded in slow traffic. The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.

NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.
On July 29, 2024, Mayor Adams’ cancellation of the Fordham Road offset bus lane left Bronx riders stranded in slow traffic. The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.

The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.
On July 29, 2024, Mayor Adams’ cancellation of the Fordham Road offset bus lane left Bronx riders stranded in slow traffic. The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.
On July 29, 2024, Mayor Adams’ cancellation of the Fordham Road offset bus lane left Bronx riders stranded in slow traffic. The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.

The e-bike driver’s injury severity was classified as moderate (level 3).
Jul 29 - Mayor Adams killed the Fordham Road bus lane redesign. Buses crawl at five miles per hour. NYPD ticketing does little. Riders stew in traffic. Council Member Sanchez backed the upgrade. Council Member Feliz opposed. Both stay silent. The street remains hostile.
On July 29, 2024, Mayor Adams’ cancellation of the Fordham Road offset bus lane left Bronx riders stranded in slow traffic. The Department of Transportation had proposed moving the bus lane off the curb to block double-parking, but Adams scrapped the plan. The matter: 'Mayor Adams' decision to shelve plans for an upgraded bus lane to Fordham Road last year has had a predictable result: buses on the crosstown Bronx route are still crawling at the same slow speed.' Council Member Pierina Sanchez supported the redesign. Council Member Oswald Feliz opposed it. Both declined comment. NYPD enforcement replaced design, but ticketing is weak and driver behavior unchanged. Riders remain frustrated, waiting for city leaders to act. Vulnerable road users—bus passengers—bear the cost.
