E Tremont at Prospect: a bike goes down; the driver keeps going

E Tremont at Prospect: a bike goes down; the driver keeps going

Tremont: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 6, 2025

Just after midnight at E Tremont Avenue and Prospect Avenue, a driver hit a person on a bike and injured him. Police recorded driver inattention and a traffic control disregarded at the scene on Sep 22, 2025 (NYC Open Data).

Since 2022, Tremont has logged 1,599 crashes, with 4 people killed and 989 injured (NYC Open Data). Year to date, crashes are 316, down from 379 a year earlier; injuries are 215, down from 234; deaths are 0, down from 1 (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data).

This Month

  • A bicyclist was hurt at E Tremont Avenue and Prospect Avenue; police noted a traffic control disregarded and driver inattention (NYC Open Data).
  • A 29‑year‑old on an e‑bike was injured at E 175 Street and 3 Avenue; police listed a traffic control disregarded (NYC Open Data).
  • A man walking at E 181 Street and Lafontaine Avenue was hit at the intersection; police cited driver inattention (NYC Open Data).

Corners that keep seeing blood

Police data mark the Cross Bronx Expressway and Southern Boulevard as top sites for deaths. East Tremont Avenue shows 154 injuries across the period (NYC Open Data). Evenings are cruel: deaths appear at 6 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, and 11 PM in the hourly ledger for this area (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data).

Named driver errors repeat: inattention or distraction; failure to yield; backing unsafely. Those appear across local crash reports and match injuries logged here (NYC Open Data).

What leaders have done — and what they haven’t

City Council Member Oswald Feliz co‑sponsored a bill requiring at least one crossing guard at every K–8 school by Sep 1, 2026 (NYC Council Legistar, Int 1439‑2025). State Senator Luis Sepúlveda co‑sponsored the state’s speed‑limiter bill for repeat speeders and voted yes in committee (Open States, S 4045).

The choice now is clear. Albany’s speed‑limiter bill can curb the worst repeat offenders. The city can keep lowering speeds where people walk and bike. The data on this neighborhood show where to start.

Fix what we can touch

  • Harden turns, daylight corners, and add leading pedestrian intervals at East Tremont Avenue hotspots. Police records flag injuries and failure‑to‑yield patterns here (NYC Open Data).
  • Add night‑focused enforcement and calming near the Cross Bronx Expressway and Southern Boulevard, where deaths are recorded (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data).
  • Back state action on speed limiters for repeat speeders; back city action to drop speeds on dangerous corridors. The bills exist; the votes are on the record (Open States, S 4045).

Names and numbers change. The pattern holds. If you want it to break, start here: take action.
