Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Pelham Parkway-Van Nest?
Blood on the Sidewalk, Blame in the Council Chambers
Pelham Parkway-Van Nest: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Hurt That Never Ends
No one died here last year. But the blood still runs. In the last twelve months, 161 people were hurt on these streets. Nine were left with serious injuries. Children, elders, mothers, workers. The numbers do not flinch. They do not heal. They only climb.
Just weeks ago, a crash on Morris Park Avenue left a 61-year-old woman with deep cuts and shock. She was crossing at the intersection. A bike hit her. She did not see it coming. She was not the first. She will not be the last. See NYC Open Data.
Broken Streets, Broken Promises
The city knows these roads kill. At East 177th, Devoe, and East Tremont, 246 crashes, 358 injuries, and two deaths piled up since 2011. For 17 years, the city stalled. Now, $45 million is set aside to fix the intersection. The project will shorten crossings, add sidewalks, and upgrade signals. But the wait has cost lives. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor, which will make incredible pedestrian and vehicular safety improvements,” said Ian Michaels. The words come late. The pain came first.
What Leaders Do—And What They Don’t
Senator Gustavo Rivera voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. He co-sponsored it too. The bill targets the worst drivers—those who rack up tickets and keep driving fast. See Open States.
Assembly Member John Zaccaro co-sponsored a bill to expand speed camera enforcement and voted to extend school speed zones. These are steps. But the carnage continues. Council Member Kristy Marmorato has voted for some safety bills, but also fought to keep parking mandates and called congestion pricing a “cash grab.” The priorities are clear. So are the bodies.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every day leaders delay, more people bleed. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real fixes, not more talk.
