Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Parkchester?
Parkchester Bleeds While Politicians Stall—Lower the Speed, Save a Life
Parkchester: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025
The Toll in Parkchester
One death. One left with serious injuries. In just the last twelve months, Parkchester saw 105 crashes. Fifty-seven people were hurt. One did not come home. The numbers are not just numbers. They are lives cut, bodies broken, families changed. NYC Open Data
Pedestrians and cyclists do not stand a chance against steel. In these streets, cars and SUVs hit hardest. In the last three years, not a single cyclist died, but the wounds run deep. A 26-year-old e-bike rider was killed on Westchester Avenue. A 56-year-old man bled in the road at East Tremont. A 12-year-old was hurt in a sedan crash. The list goes on. The pain does not end.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city talks of Vision Zero. They say every life matters. They point to new laws: speed cameras, lower limits, intersection redesigns. But in Parkchester, the grind continues. The council passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not done it yet. Cameras work, but only where they are turned on. The law to keep them running is always about to expire. Each delay is a risk. Each risk is a life.
No bold moves from local leaders. No public stands. No urgent calls. The silence is loud. The streets stay the same. The bodies keep falling.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. These are not accidents. They are the result of choices. Choices made by people in power. Choices that can be changed.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand cameras that never go dark. Demand streets built for people, not just cars.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Act now.
