Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Westchester Square?
Westchester Square: Kids Bleed, Politicians Stall
Westchester Square: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers That Do Not Lie
Two dead. Three with injuries that will not heal. In the last twelve months, Westchester Square saw 114 crashes. Seventy-seven people hurt. Two did not walk away. One was a child. One was barely grown. NYC Open Data
The young pay most. Twenty-six people under 24 were injured. One died. Another child, under 18, died too. The streets do not forgive youth or age.
The Pattern That Does Not Break
Crashes come steady as rain. A teenager struck crossing St Peters Ave in May. A pedestrian hit by a speeding car on Halperin Ave in February. A distracted driver, a turning bus, a moped thrown. The list grows. The names fade. The pain stays.
Most injuries come from cars and trucks. No one was killed by a bike. No one was killed by a bus. The danger is steel and speed.
What Has Been Done, What Has Not
The city talks of Vision Zero. They count deaths. They promise lower speed limits. They install cameras. But in Westchester Square, the bodies keep coming. The council has the power to lower the speed limit to 20 mph. They have not used it. The state can keep speed cameras running. They let the law hang by a thread.
No leader here has stood up to say: enough. No new bills. No bold votes. No public stand for the dead or the living. The silence is louder than the sirens.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where children can cross and live. Take action now.
If you wait, the next name could be yours.
