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.

Bronx Navy Veteran Killed In Road Rage

Jun 18 - Drag racers struck a car. Words were exchanged. Gunfire followed. Keino Campbell, Navy vet, fell in the Bronx night. Three shots to the chest. His mother grieves. The street stays dangerous. The system failed to keep him safe.

According to the New York Post (2025-06-18), Keino Campbell, 27, was shot and killed in a road rage incident after confronting two drag racers who had bumped his car in the Bronx. The article reports, "Keino Campbell, 27, was shot three times in the chest in a road rage incident." Police arrested Michael Aracena, 20, charging him with murder, manslaughter, and weapon possession. Another suspect, accused of handing over the gun, remains at large. The incident highlights the lethal risks of illegal street racing and the easy escalation of violence on city roads. Systemic failures in preventing reckless driving and gun access contributed to the tragedy.

The bill's technical fixes aim to keep protections in place for children and other vulnerable road users near schools. No safety analyst note was provided.

Teen Critically Hurt In Bronx Subway Fall

Jun 17 - A 14-year-old fell from a Bronx No. 5 train. He hit the tracks hard. Medics rushed him to Jacobi. His face and body took the blow. Police charged another teen. Subway surfing keeps taking young lives.

One, age 17, was arrested for reckless endangerment and trespass. The third fled. The article notes, 'Six people, most of them teens, died subway surfing in the city last year. The youngest was just 11.' This year, two have died already. The NYPD and MTA have increased enforcement and launched campaigns to deter subway surfing, including drone patrols and public messaging. The incident highlights persistent dangers on the transit system and ongoing risks for young riders.

S 7785 Benedetto votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.

Jun 16 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.

The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
