CloseBedford Park Bleeds—And City Hall Looks Away
Bedford Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Bedford Park
No one died in Bedford Park this year. That is the only mercy. But the streets do not forgive. In the last twelve months, 89 people were hurt in 194 crashes. Three suffered serious injuries. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care if you are young or old. Ten children were hurt. One was left with wounds that will not heal soon. Crash data
Who Gets Hurt, and How
Cars and SUVs are the main threat. They caused most of the pain. In the last three years, cars and SUVs were involved in 23 serious or moderate injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds added two more. Bikes caused one. The street does not care what you ride or drive. It only takes.
The Crashes Keep Coming
The stories repeat. A 17-year-old boy on a bike, bleeding from the head, after a crash on East 198th Street. A 27-year-old man, crossing with the signal, struck at Grand Concourse. A 63-year-old woman, ejected from her bike, left with deep cuts. The details change. The pain does not. Crash data
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
The city has the power to lower speed limits. It has not used it here. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. The law that keeps them on is set to expire. Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about safer streets. But the numbers do not lie. The work is not done. The danger is not gone.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Every delay is a risk. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets that do not bleed. Take action now.

Dinowitz Highlights Safety Boosting Bronx Station Accessibility Upgrades▸Jun 18 - Crews will gut and rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn stations. Four new elevators will rise. Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.
On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers. Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.
On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement.

Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.
