CloseBedford Park: Crosswalks, sirens, and a choice
Bedford Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 21, 2025
Just before 3 PM at W 197 St and Goulden Ave, the driver of a Fisker SUV turned left and hit a 22‑year‑old woman who was walking; police recorded driver inattention and failure to yield as factors (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- A driver turning right at Bedford Park Blvd and Bainbridge Ave hit a 60‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
- Just after midnight near 2376 Marion Ave, a driver backing a Jeep hit a 29‑year‑old man at the intersection; police recorded unsafe backing (NYC Open Data).
- At E 201 St and Bainbridge Ave, a driver in an SUV hit a 40‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal during a left turn (NYC Open Data).
The count doesn’t stop
Since Jan 1, 2022, Bedford Park has recorded 1,089 crashes, injuring 517 people and killing 3 (NYC Open Data). Mid‑afternoon is rough here: about 3 PM, injuries peak, with serious harm clustered in the afternoon and evening hours, according to city records for this area since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
The numbers have not spared people walking. A 74‑year‑old man, crossing with the signal at East Mosholu Parkway South and Bainbridge Ave, was killed by a driver recorded for unsafe speed and aggressive driving (CrashID 4642411).
Corners that break
The worst hurt happens on long, fast corridors. Jerome Avenue leads the list with 41 injuries; the Grand Concourse has 36 injuries and one death, all in this small area since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
Police reports here keep naming the same mistakes by drivers: failure to yield at turns, inattention, unsafe backing. The street tells the rest. A woman crossing with the light, hit by a right turn on Bedford Park Boulevard. A left turn at E 201 St that didn’t wait. A backing move at Marion Ave that knocked a man down (NYC Open Data).
Simple fixes match these crashes: daylight the corners, give pedestrians a head start, harden the turns, slow the approach. These are tools the city already uses; they fit the harm we see at these exact spots.
Power to slow, and who uses it
City and state leaders have the levers. Albany advanced a bill to rein in repeat speeders. The Senate file is S 4045; it requires an intelligent speed‑assistance device when a driver racks up 11 DMV points in 24 months or six speed or red‑light camera tickets in a year (Open States). State Senator Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee, and State Assembly Member George Alvarez co‑sponsored the Assembly companion, A 2299, this year (Open States).
On bikes and safe lanes, Council Member Eric Dinowitz and Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz opposed the protected Bailey Avenue link of the Harlem River Greenway that DOT and safety advocates said would cut injuries. “We support bike lanes,” Jeffrey Dinowitz said, while resisting the plan over parking loss (Streetsblog NYC). The crashes on Jerome and the Concourse keep coming either way.
Slow the cars, save the walks
The pattern is specific: turning drivers take people in the crosswalk; speed turns a mistake into a death; the same corridors ring with sirens. The tools are specific too: lower speeds on default streets, and stop the worst repeat offenders with mandatory limiters. Albany has moved a bill. City Hall can set slower limits under state law already on the books. The question is whether they use that power on the blocks where people keep getting hit.
Start here. Call for a slower city and speed limiters for repeat offenders. Tell your officials what these corners look like after the tape goes up. Act at /take_action/.

Rivera Backs Safety-Boosting Cross Bronx Comment Extension▸Dec 3 - Rep. Ritchie Torres and advocates demand more time to review a 6,000‑page Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment. A 53‑day, holiday‑filled window shrinks community input and risks car‑centric outcomes that harm pedestrians, cyclists, and equity communities.
""We need time, and we're not going to have it,"" -- Gustavo Rivera
This is not a council bill. It is a request to extend the public comment period on the Cross Bronx draft environmental assessment (no bill number). The draft EA was released after hours on Nov. 18; the public was given until Jan. 9 — a 53‑day window. "The public was given until just Jan. 9 to weigh in on the 6,000‑page document — a 53‑day period that includes multiple holidays." Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote to Gov. Hochul and NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez asking for more time. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera and local advocates pressed the same plea. A 53‑day, holiday‑laden comment window limits meaningful input from pedestrians, cyclists, and equity‑seeking communities and raises the risk that car‑centric, unsafe designs will advance.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Dinowitz Supports Bike Lanes Opposes Safety-Boosting Bike Lane Plan▸Jul 8 - Dinowitzes fight the Harlem River Greenway bike lane. They defend parking. Cyclists and walkers wait for safe passage. DOT says protected lanes save lives. The Bronx stays exposed.
""We support bike lanes."" -- Jeffrey Dinowitz
On July 8, 2025, Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz publicly opposed the city's plan for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway. The matter, described as an 'anti-car crusade,' centers on the removal of 46 parking spots. The Dinowitzes claim the redesign ignores community voices. DOT and local advocates argue the project will cut injuries and deaths, citing crash data. A safety analyst notes the Greenway will create safe, separated space for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing harm and boosting active travel. The Dinowitzes support bike lanes in principle but resist changes that reduce parking.

On July 8, 2025, Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz publicly opposed the city's plan for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway.

A safety analyst notes the Greenway will create safe, separated space for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing harm and boosting active travel.

Dinowitz Supports Bike Lanes Opposes Safety-Boosting Bike Lane Plan▸Jul 8 - Dinowitzes fight the Harlem River Greenway bike lane. They defend parking. Cyclists and walkers wait for safe passage. DOT says protected lanes save lives. The Bronx stays exposed.
""We support bike lanes."" -- Jeffrey Dinowitz
On July 8, 2025, Assembly Member Jeff Dinowitz and Council Member Eric Dinowitz publicly opposed the city's plan for a protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue, part of the Harlem River Greenway. The matter, described as an 'anti-car crusade,' centers on the removal of 46 parking spots. The Dinowitzes claim the redesign ignores community voices. DOT and local advocates argue the project will cut injuries and deaths, citing crash data. A safety analyst notes the Greenway will create safe, separated space for pedestrians and cyclists, reducing harm and boosting active travel. The Dinowitzes support bike lanes in principle but resist changes that reduce parking.

Officials Demand Input On Expressway Plan▸Jul 18 - Thirteen Bronx leaders push for public say in Cross Bronx Expressway overhaul. State eyes new road. Critics warn of more traffic, more pollution. No final call yet. Residents left waiting.
NY Daily News (2025-07-18) reports thirteen Bronx officials urged Governor Hochul and the state DOT to boost community input on the Cross Bronx Expressway redesign. The state may build a connecting road across the Bronx River to keep traffic moving during bridge repairs. Critics, including environmental and transit groups, say this would widen the expressway, bringing more traffic and pollution. The officials' letter asks the state to 'fully consider' options without the new road. DOT spokesman Rolando Infante said no decision has been made. The $900 million project includes capping sections with parks and green space.

Dinowitz co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.
