Norwood’s Corners Keep Breaking Bodies
Norwood: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just after 7 PM on Jun 3, 2025, an SUV hit a 9‑year‑old crossing E 205th Street at Webster Avenue. Police logged a fractured leg and a front‑end strike on the SUV (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4817809).
Since Jan 1, 2022, Norwood has seen 3 people killed and 467 injured in reported traffic crashes (NYC Open Data). Pedestrians account for 1 of those deaths and 133 injuries in this span. Bikes show 23 injuries. Cars and SUVs drive most of the harm.
This year, crashes in this neighborhood have risen to 220 from 166 at the same point last year; injuries rose to 124 from 91. Deaths fell from 1 to 0 in the same comparison. The danger didn’t pass; it shifted (NYC Open Data).
Corners that won’t forgive
Mosholu Parkway. East Gun Hill Road. Webster Avenue. These are the repeat scenes, with the most injuries since 2022, including fatalities on or near them (NYC Open Data). A taxi passenger died on Webster at Parkside in 2023. A moped rider died by Mosholu and Bainbridge in early 2024. A pedestrian died at East Gun Hill and Dekalb in 2022 (CrashIDs 4604527, 4692380, 4491529).
The pain peaks at rush—5 PM holds the most injuries in the dataset here. Late night isn’t spared either; midnight and 1 AM also show bodies in the log (NYC Open Data). Named driver errors show up again and again: failure to yield, inattention, and blowing signals.
Two blocks, two hits
E 205th and Webster isn’t a one‑off. A month later, a driver hit a 31‑year‑old on an e‑bike at the same crossroads. Police cited failure to yield (CrashID 4828338). One corner. Two people down.
The record is public. So are the tools.
On cameras, Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz said: “People shouldn’t run red lights… when they do that they endanger other people’s lives, and people have died” (Gothamist). On speed, Council Member Eric Dinowitz told colleagues: “If you don’t want a speeding ticket, don’t speed” (Streetsblog NYC).
Albany moved to expand red‑light cameras citywide in 2024 (Gothamist). In 2025, State Senator Gustavo Rivera co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee to require speed‑limiting tech for repeat violators (S 4045) (Open States). Assembly Member John Zaccaro Jr. co‑sponsored a bill to strengthen camera enforcement against plate concealment (A 7997) (Open States).
The city’s DOT has urged more red‑light cameras, citing rising signal running and safety gains where cameras are placed (Streetsblog NYC).
Fix the corners that maim
Norwood’s map points to simple work: daylighting at crosswalks, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals on Mosholu, East Gun Hill, Webster, and E 205th. Targeted failure‑to‑yield enforcement at the evening peak. Protect the bike line of fire at Webster.
Then finish the job citywide. Lower the default speed limit. Pass and enforce the repeat‑speeder bill. Keep the cameras on and honest.
The boy on E 205th is one line in a ledger. The next line doesn’t have to be written. Start here. Start now. Take action.

In 2022, Dinowitz’s district saw 1,659 reported crashes, injuring 135 pedestrians and 27 cyclists. The city’s inaction left a deadly gap. Rivera is the latest victim.

Dinowitz Backs Misguided Bill Undermining Traffic Safety Enforcement▸Sep 28 - Assemblyman Dinowitz pushes a bill to slap New Jersey drivers with a $50 fee. The move answers NJ’s threat to block data sharing. Without cooperation, speeders dodge camera tickets. Streets stay dangerous. Lawmakers trade barbs. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.
Bill number not specified. On September 28, 2022, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz introduced a proposal in the New York State Legislature. The bill, now in committee, would impose a $50 fee on vehicles registered in states—like New Jersey—that refuse to share driver data for traffic enforcement. The measure responds to a New Jersey Senate bill blocking DMV data sharing, which could undermine New York City’s automated speed camera program. Dinowitz said, 'There's going to have to be a price to pay if my bill passes.' Safe streets advocates and NYC DOT warn that blocking data sharing lets speeders escape penalties, fueling traffic violence. The bill’s text states it 'authorizes the imposition of a $50 fee on vehicles entering NYC which are registered in states which do not cooperate with New York in the enforcement of traffic infractions through the use of photo-monitoring devices or signal monitoring systems.' The fight leaves vulnerable road users at risk, as enforcement gaps let reckless drivers go unpunished.

Dinowitz Opposes Undemocratic DOT Process Not Road Diet▸Aug 4 - DOT will narrow Riverdale Avenue in the Bronx. Four lanes become two, with a center turn lane.

Council Member Eric Dinowitz voiced strong opposition to the DOT’s process, calling it 'undemocratic' and criticizing the lack of community input, though he did not oppose the road diet itself. The DOT justified the changes by citing significant crash and injury data, and pointed to successful safety improvements from similar projects elsewhere in the Bronx. Dinowitz stated, 'I have been deeply troubled throughout this process due to the constant misrepresentation of facts and the lack of responsiveness to the community.' Despite local resistance, the DOT moves forward, prioritizing safety on a corridor marked by multiple fatalities.

Dinowitz Backs Misguided Bill Undermining Traffic Safety Enforcement▸Sep 28 - Assemblyman Dinowitz pushes a bill to slap New Jersey drivers with a $50 fee. The move answers NJ’s threat to block data sharing. Without cooperation, speeders dodge camera tickets. Streets stay dangerous. Lawmakers trade barbs. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.
Bill number not specified. On September 28, 2022, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz introduced a proposal in the New York State Legislature. The bill, now in committee, would impose a $50 fee on vehicles registered in states—like New Jersey—that refuse to share driver data for traffic enforcement. The measure responds to a New Jersey Senate bill blocking DMV data sharing, which could undermine New York City’s automated speed camera program. Dinowitz said, 'There's going to have to be a price to pay if my bill passes.' Safe streets advocates and NYC DOT warn that blocking data sharing lets speeders escape penalties, fueling traffic violence. The bill’s text states it 'authorizes the imposition of a $50 fee on vehicles entering NYC which are registered in states which do not cooperate with New York in the enforcement of traffic infractions through the use of photo-monitoring devices or signal monitoring systems.' The fight leaves vulnerable road users at risk, as enforcement gaps let reckless drivers go unpunished.

Dinowitz Backs Misguided Bill Undermining Traffic Safety Enforcement▸Sep 28 - Assemblyman Dinowitz pushes a bill to slap New Jersey drivers with a $50 fee. The move answers NJ’s threat to block data sharing. Without cooperation, speeders dodge camera tickets. Streets stay dangerous. Lawmakers trade barbs. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.
Bill number not specified. On September 28, 2022, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz introduced a proposal in the New York State Legislature. The bill, now in committee, would impose a $50 fee on vehicles registered in states—like New Jersey—that refuse to share driver data for traffic enforcement. The measure responds to a New Jersey Senate bill blocking DMV data sharing, which could undermine New York City’s automated speed camera program. Dinowitz said, 'There's going to have to be a price to pay if my bill passes.' Safe streets advocates and NYC DOT warn that blocking data sharing lets speeders escape penalties, fueling traffic violence. The bill’s text states it 'authorizes the imposition of a $50 fee on vehicles entering NYC which are registered in states which do not cooperate with New York in the enforcement of traffic infractions through the use of photo-monitoring devices or signal monitoring systems.' The fight leaves vulnerable road users at risk, as enforcement gaps let reckless drivers go unpunished.

Dinowitz Backs Misguided Bill Undermining Traffic Safety Enforcement▸Sep 28 - Assemblyman Dinowitz pushes a bill to slap New Jersey drivers with a $50 fee. The move answers NJ’s threat to block data sharing. Without cooperation, speeders dodge camera tickets. Streets stay dangerous. Lawmakers trade barbs. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.
Bill number not specified. On September 28, 2022, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz introduced a proposal in the New York State Legislature. The bill, now in committee, would impose a $50 fee on vehicles registered in states—like New Jersey—that refuse to share driver data for traffic enforcement. The measure responds to a New Jersey Senate bill blocking DMV data sharing, which could undermine New York City’s automated speed camera program. Dinowitz said, 'There's going to have to be a price to pay if my bill passes.' Safe streets advocates and NYC DOT warn that blocking data sharing lets speeders escape penalties, fueling traffic violence. The bill’s text states it 'authorizes the imposition of a $50 fee on vehicles entering NYC which are registered in states which do not cooperate with New York in the enforcement of traffic infractions through the use of photo-monitoring devices or signal monitoring systems.' The fight leaves vulnerable road users at risk, as enforcement gaps let reckless drivers go unpunished.

Dinowitz Backs Misguided Bill Undermining Traffic Safety Enforcement▸Sep 28 - Assemblyman Dinowitz pushes a bill to slap New Jersey drivers with a $50 fee. The move answers NJ’s threat to block data sharing. Without cooperation, speeders dodge camera tickets. Streets stay dangerous. Lawmakers trade barbs. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.
Bill number not specified. On September 28, 2022, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz introduced a proposal in the New York State Legislature. The bill, now in committee, would impose a $50 fee on vehicles registered in states—like New Jersey—that refuse to share driver data for traffic enforcement. The measure responds to a New Jersey Senate bill blocking DMV data sharing, which could undermine New York City’s automated speed camera program. Dinowitz said, 'There's going to have to be a price to pay if my bill passes.' Safe streets advocates and NYC DOT warn that blocking data sharing lets speeders escape penalties, fueling traffic violence. The bill’s text states it 'authorizes the imposition of a $50 fee on vehicles entering NYC which are registered in states which do not cooperate with New York in the enforcement of traffic infractions through the use of photo-monitoring devices or signal monitoring systems.' The fight leaves vulnerable road users at risk, as enforcement gaps let reckless drivers go unpunished.

Aug 4 - DOT will narrow Riverdale Avenue in the Bronx. Four lanes become two, with a center turn lane. Council Member Eric Dinowitz objects to the process, not the safety plan. Community Board 8 voted no. DOT cites crash deaths. The project moves forward.
On August 4, 2022, the Department of Transportation (DOT) confirmed it will proceed with the Riverdale Avenue road diet, narrowing the Bronx street from four lanes to two with a center turning lane. The matter, presented to Bronx Community Board 8’s Transportation Committee, was rejected in a close vote. Council Member Eric Dinowitz voiced strong opposition to the DOT’s process, calling it 'undemocratic' and criticizing the lack of community input, though he did not oppose the road diet itself. The DOT justified the changes by citing significant crash and injury data, and pointed to successful safety improvements from similar projects elsewhere in the Bronx. Dinowitz stated, 'I have been deeply troubled throughout this process due to the constant misrepresentation of facts and the lack of responsiveness to the community.' Despite local resistance, the DOT moves forward, prioritizing safety on a corridor marked by multiple fatalities.
