Co-op City’s afternoon toll, and the bills that could stop it

Co-op City’s afternoon toll, and the bills that could stop it

Co-op City: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 12, 2025

Just after 8 AM on Jun 23, 2025, on Co-op City Blvd near 691, the driver of an SUV backed up and hit an 86-year-old man walking there, injuring his head (city data).

This Week

  • On Oct 3, a driver turning improperly in a 2019 Volkswagen sedan collided with a 2021 Mercedes sedan on Bartow Ave, injuring a 36-year-old driver (data).
  • On Oct 2, at Bartow Ave and Baychester Ave, police recorded unsafe lane changing and unsafe speed before a BMW SUV and a Volvo tractor-trailer crashed, injuring a 38-year-old passenger (data).
  • On Sep 14, at Carver Loop and Co-op City Blvd, a moped and a Toyota sedan collided; the 48-year-old moped driver was hurt and listed with a helmet in the record (data).

Since 2022, Co-op City has logged 675 crashes, with 377 people injured and 1 person killed (NYC Open Data). Afternoons are worst: injuries peak around 2 PM and rise again near the evening rush (NYC Open Data). Named driver behaviors show up again and again: failure to yield and inattention/distraction are recorded causes in this area’s crash files (NYC Open Data).

Hot corners are no secret. The records flag Hutchinson River Parkway East and the Einstein Loop approach, and also 100 Elgar Place, as repeat harm spots (NYC Open Data).

Simple fixes, left on the table

At these corners, the playbook is known: daylighting, longer leading pedestrian intervals, hardened lefts, and truck turn calming. Targeted enforcement at the afternoon peaks. These are concrete, near-term moves that match what the crash files show in this neighborhood’s streets.

Albany paved the way. Will we use it?

The Legislature extended and cleaned up school speed-zone protections in June; local members voted yes (S 8344). The Senate also advanced a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to use speed‑limiting tech. State Sen. Jamaal Bailey co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (S 4045). Assembly Member Michael Benedetto backed the speed‑zone measure (S 8344). Council Member Kevin C. Riley has supported several street‑safety transparency and cleanup bills at City Hall (Council records in the timeline).

The question is tight and local: when do these votes turn into slower traffic on Bartow, safer turns at Elgar, and fewer people on stretchers at 2 PM?

Make the next 2 PM different

  • Push the city to lower speeds and harden turns at the flagged Co-op City spots.
  • Back the Senate’s speed‑limiter bill and its Assembly counterpart; make it impossible for repeat speeders to keep doing harm (S 4045).

One call matters. Start here: Take action.

City Funds Overdue Bronx Intersection Fix

Jul 30 - Seventeen years. Two deaths. Hundreds hurt. The city finally moves to rebuild a Bronx intersection where danger stalks every crossing. Concrete, signals, and sidewalks will change the ground, not the memory.

Patch reported on July 30, 2025, that New York City approved $45 million to reconstruct the hazardous intersection at East 177th Street, Devoe Avenue, and East Tremont Avenue.

The corridor serves schools, bus stops, and parks. DDC spokesperson Ian Michaels called it an 'incredibly complex project.' Delays left vulnerable road users exposed.

Bailey Praises Safety Boosting Bronx Transit Accessibility Upgrades

Jun 18 - Crews will gut and rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn stations. Four new elevators will rise. Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.

On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers. Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.
