Riverdale-Spuyten Duyvil: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 5, 2025
Just after 8 AM on Sep 19, a driver in an SUV hit a 55‑year‑old woman at Riverdale Avenue near 5665. Police recorded an injury at the intersection. NYC Open Data
This Week
- On Sep 13, a driver in a 2025 Hyundai SUV hit a 10‑year‑old on a bike at West 232 Street and Fairfield Avenue. NYC Open Data
- On Jul 13, a driver changing lanes in a sedan hit a 50‑year‑old on an e‑bike at Broadway and West 252 Street. NYC Open Data
The count does not stop
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Riverdale–Spuyten Duyvil, there have been 841 crashes, leaving 2 people dead and 355 injured, including 6 with serious injuries. NYC Open Data
Police reports show harm stacks up on main corridors. Broadway leads the list with injuries and a death. West 235 Street also shows a death alongside injuries. Riverdale Avenue records dozens hurt. NYC Open Data
The clock has a rhythm. Injuries spike in mid‑afternoon, with the worst at about 3 PM. Morning brings pain too. Deaths are marked in the 8 AM and 5 PM hours. NYC Open Data
Corners that don’t forgive
At Broadway, people on foot have been killed and hurt. At West 235 Street, the same. These are not surprises. They are patterns. NYC Open Data
Some causes are named in the files. Police recorded driver failure to yield in multiple cases. Distraction shows up too. Speed is a factor in other crashes nearby. The paper trail is short, but it points the same way: drivers making choices that break bodies. NYC Open Data
Leaders talk. Streets wait.

What would make this corner kinder
Start with the basics at Broadway and West 235 Street and along Riverdale Avenue: daylighting at corners, leading pedestrian intervals, and hardened left turns to slow drivers and protect crossings. Target enforcement where the injuries peak in the afternoon. These are standard tools. They save lives when used. NYC Open Data
Citywide, two steps would change the odds here: lower New York’s default speed limit and fit repeat violators’ cars with speed limiters. The first is in the city’s hands. The second sits with Albany and S 4045. Open States
The woman on Riverdale Avenue went down in the morning. The afternoon brings more bodies. Tell them to slow the streets now. Take action.

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.

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.

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.

Eric Dinowitz Backs Safety‑Boosting Bike Lanes Opposing Parking Loss▸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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
