Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in University Heights (North)-Fordham?
Hit, Run, Forgotten: Bronx Streets Bleed While City Stalls
University Heights (North)-Fordham: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Deaths That Don’t Make Headlines
A man waits in the dark on the Major Deegan. His car won’t start. He calls friends for help. A Mercedes slams into him from behind. The driver runs. The man, Darryl Mathis Jr., calls again. “I can’t breathe,” he says. His friends call the ambulance. He dies at St. Barnabas Hospital. The driver is gone. “He called to get a jump, and after that, he got hit from behind, a hit-and-run. They were on their way to come give him a jump and he got hit waiting for them. And then he called to let them know, I’ve been hit. I can’t breathe.”
He is not the only one. In the last twelve months, two people have died and 254 have been injured in crashes here. One was a 65-year-old man, struck and killed by a van while crossing with the signal. A child, just four, died after being ejected in a moped crash. The numbers are cold. The pain is not.
The Slow Grind of Policy
Crashes keep coming. In the past year, there were 369 crashes in University Heights (North)-Fordham. One person suffered a serious injury. The rest were luckier, or not. The city says it is working. The mayor calls traffic violence a crime. The police say they are visible. But the street does not care about words. It cares about speed, steel, and flesh.
Local leaders have tools. The city can now lower speed limits to 20 mph. Cameras can catch speeders day and night. But change is slow. The law is on the books, but the street is not yet safer. “NYPD officers will be highly visible on New York City roadways… to deter unsafe driving and, when necessary, to take appropriate enforcement action,” said Police Commissioner Edward Caban. But the dead do not see police lights.
The Work Left to Do
Every crash is preventable. Lower the speed. Harden the crossings. Build the lanes. Hold drivers accountable. The city has the power. The council has the vote. The mayor has the pen. The only thing missing is the will.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit and real protection for people on foot and bike. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street will not wait. Take action now.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸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.

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.

Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸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▸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▸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.

Int 0745-2024Sanchez votes yes on bill requiring DOT to report micromobility data, no direct safety impact.▸City law now forces DOT to reveal where bikes and scooters go. Streets and bridges, protected or not. Data goes public. Riders’ movement, danger, and safety projects laid bare. No more hiding the facts.
Int 0745-2024, now enacted, came through the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It was introduced April 11, 2024, and passed on August 15, 2024. The law orders the Department of Transportation to post current bicycle and micromobility ridership data online, updated monthly or at least yearly. The matter summary reads: 'requiring the department of transportation to provide information about bicycle and other micromobility device activity.' Council Member Selvena N. Brooks-Powers led as primary sponsor, joined by Farías, Restler, Hudson, Schulman, and others. The law demands transparency on where riders travel and what DOT does to keep them safe. This opens the books on bike movement and exposes gaps in protection.

Toddler Injured Crossing Bronx Intersection▸A 2-year-old boy suffered knee and lower leg injuries after being struck while crossing a marked crosswalk on Grand Avenue. The sedan driver traveling east hit the child at the right front quarter panel. The child was left in shock.
According to the police report, a 2-year-old male pedestrian was injured at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Evelyn Place in the Bronx at 9:44 PM. The child was crossing in a marked crosswalk without a crossing signal when a 2016 Toyota sedan traveling east struck him on the right front quarter panel. The driver was licensed and going straight ahead. The child sustained injuries to the knee, lower leg, and foot and was reported in shock. The report lists unspecified contributing factors but does not indicate any driver violations such as failure to yield or speeding. No vehicle damage was noted. The report does not assign blame to the pedestrian and does not cite any victim behaviors as contributing factors.
Sanchez Supports Safety Boosting Fordham Road Bus Lane▸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.
