What the numbers say about this place
Since 2022, this neighborhood logged 921 crashes, 617 injuries, and 13 serious injuries. One person died. NYC Open Data
This year is running hotter than last. Crashes are up 15.4%, injuries up 29.8% compared to the same period a year ago. NYC Open Data
Police records name driver inattention and failure to yield as steady causes here. Evening hours hit hardest: around 5 PM, 8 PM, and 9 PM the injury counts spike. NYC Open Data
The corridors that keep breaking people
The Major Deegan is the top hotspot in this area, with 172 injuries and four serious injuries, plus one death since 2022. Mosholu Parkway also stands out. NYC Open Data

Leaders speak; streets bleed
Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz backed more red light cameras. “People shouldn’t run red lights… when they do that they endanger other people’s lives, and people have died,” he said. Gothamist
State Senator Robert Jackson co‑sponsored and voted yes on the state bill to require speed limiters for repeat speeders. Open States
Council Member Eric Dinowitz joined a bill to let ambulettes double‑park and use bus lanes. More curb conflicts mean more risk for people walking and biking. NYC Council – Legistar
On Bailey Avenue, where cyclists are getting hit, the Dinowitzes opposed a protected lane tied to the Harlem River Greenway because it would remove parking. Streetsblog NYC
What would stop the next siren here
- Daylight the corners and harden turns at Mosholu Parkway and along the Deegan service roads to cut failure‑to‑yield crashes in the evening peak. NYC Open Data
- Build the protected bike lane on Bailey Avenue tied to the Harlem River Greenway so people on bikes are not face‑to‑face with traffic. Streetsblog NYC
- Use automated enforcement where it works: expand red light cameras locally and back speed limiters for repeat speeders. Gothamist Open States
Lower speeds and repeat‑speeder controls are on the table. Jackson is on board for speed limiters. Dinowitz has supported camera expansion. The next move sits with City Hall and Albany. Add your voice. /take_action/
