The toll on these blocks

Since 2022, 12 people have been killed in Soundview–Bruckner–Bronx River: three people walking, two on bikes, and six vehicle occupants. Another 1,603 people have been injured. Source.

Westchester Avenue leads the injury count. The Cross Bronx Expressway records two deaths. Rosedale Ave shows repeated serious injuries. Source.

Injuries surge from 3 PM through the evening commute. Police frequently log driver inattention and failure to yield among the causes, along with unsafe speed. Source.

Soundview nights, sirens and a quote

A week later, on the Bruckner, a driver hit a man and fled. “The victim was hit around 9:30 PM Monday in the eastbound lanes of the Bruckner Expressway in the Soundview section.” ABC7. The Daily News reported the driver of a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas “slamming into the man at Morrison Ave.” NY Daily News.

The names are not in the data. The pattern is.

Fix the turns. Slow the cars.

Concrete saves lives at corners like Westchester and Metcalf: hardened right turns, daylighting, and leading pedestrian intervals. On corridors with evening surges, tighten signal timing and add protected space for bikes. Target driver failure to yield and distraction where records show them.

Citywide, two levers can cut the speed that shreds families. First, use Sammy’s Law to drop default speeds. Second, stop repeat speeders. In Albany, the Senate’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) advanced, with State Senator Nathalia Fernández repeatedly voting yes in committee. Record. The Assembly version A2299 would require intelligent speed limiters after repeated violations; Bronx Assembly Member Karines Reyes is listed as a co‑sponsor in the record we have. Record.

Assembly Member Emérita Torres represents this area. The record we reviewed does not list Torres on A2299. What gives?

Council Member Amanda Farías sets the tone locally. Westchester Ave and the Bruckner need hard fixes, not condolences.

Act: ask your electeds to back a lower default speed limit and to pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat offenders. Start here.

We Rode NYC Ferry with Would-Be Council Speaker Amanda Farías." Farías rode the ferry and pitched herself on transit and street safety.
