East Tremont at dusk. A body and a front end.
Throgs Neck-Schuylerville: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 23, 2025
Late afternoon on Aug 9, 2025, on East Tremont Avenue. A driver going straight hit a person not at an intersection; she was 29 and semiconscious when recorded in police data (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- In the early hours of Sep 2, at Jarvis and Zulette, a motorcycle driver and passenger were injured (NYC Open Data).
- On Aug 30, at Bruckner Boulevard and Crosby, a 20‑year‑old moped driver was hurt in a collision with two sedans (NYC Open Data).
- On Aug 23, near the Cross Bronx Expressway and Randall Avenue, two people in a BMW were injured in a crash with another BMW (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Since 2022, this neighborhood has seen 1,349 crashes, injuring 771 people and killing 3 (NYC Open Data). This year alone, there have been 246 crashes with 172 injured through late September, up from 220 crashes and 139 injured at this point last year (NYC Open Data).
Evenings hit hard. Around 7 PM shows the most injuries recorded, with 60 people hurt in that hour over the period covered (NYC Open Data). East Tremont Avenue stands out with 59 injuries logged. The Bruckner Expressway corridor lists 101 injuries (NYC Open Data).
Police data flags driver inattention and distraction, failure to yield, unsafe speed, and aggressive driving among recorded causes here over the period (NYC Open Data).
Corners that cut, turns that kill
East Tremont and other wide corridors invite fast moves and blind turns. Hardened lefts, daylighting at corners, and leading pedestrian intervals would slow turns and give people walking a head start. Median refuges on multi‑lane segments of Bruckner Boulevard and East Tremont would shorten crossings. Focused enforcement at the evening peak would meet the danger where it hits.
Two local hotspots deserve immediate work: East Tremont Avenue and the Bruckner Expressway approaches. That is where the injuries stack up (NYC Open Data).
Who moves first
Council Member Kristy Marmorato has fought to keep parking mandates near new Metro‑North stops, saying, “We live in a transit desert where cars are a necessity for daily activities” (Streetsblog NYC). She also criticized congestion pricing as a “cash grab” (amNY; Streetsblog NYC).
At the state level, Senator Nathalia Fernández voted yes in committee to advance S 4045, the Stop Super Speeders Act on intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators (Open States). Assembly Member Michael Benedetto voted yes to extend school speed zones (S 8344) (Open States).
Slow it down, for good
Lower speeds save lives. New York City already has the tools to set safer speed limits, and to rein in repeat speeders. Our neighborhood’s injuries are rising this year. The next moves are clear:
- Set safer default speeds on local streets.
- Pass and implement speed limiters for habitual speeders (S 4045) (Open States).
One person hit on East Tremont in the daylight should be enough. It wasn’t. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
