Co-Op City Bleeds While City Hall Sleeps

Co-Op City: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Numbers Don’t Lie

One dead. Seven seriously hurt. Two hundred forty-two injured. These are not numbers from a war zone. They are the cost of moving through Co-Op City since 2022. The dead do not speak. The injured carry scars—on faces, necks, heads. A 76-year-old woman, crossing with the signal, struck and killed by a turning truck at Einstein Loop and Hutchinson River Parkway East. A 59-year-old woman, bleeding from the head, hit by a taxi on Dreiser Loop. Two teenagers, faces broken, after an SUV slammed into a parked car during a police pursuit. These are the facts. They do not change.

Who Pays the Price

No one is safe. Children, elders, workers, students. In the last twelve months, ninety people were hurt in 136 crashes. No deaths this year, but the luck will not hold. Trucks killed. Sedans and SUVs maimed. Taxis left people bleeding in the street. The young are not spared. Five children under 18 were injured in the past year. The old are not spared. Twelve people over 65 were hurt. The road does not care.

Leadership: Progress or Delay?

The city talks of Vision Zero. They count intersection redesigns, new bike lanes, and lower speed limits. But in Co-Op City, the violence rolls on. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Speed cameras need Albany’s blessing to keep running. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph, but has not used it here. Each day of delay is another day of risk. The numbers do not wait for speeches.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. Every crash is preventable. Every injury is a failure of will. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand working speed cameras. Demand streets where a child can cross without fear. The dead cannot speak. You can. Take action now.
