Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Williamsbridge-Olinville?

Bronx Streets Bleed—How Many More Must Die Before Albany Acts?

Bronx Streets Bleed—How Many More Must Die Before Albany Acts?

Williamsbridge-Olinville: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 12, 2025

The Death Count Grows

Eight people are dead. Fifteen more are seriously hurt. In Williamsbridge-Olinville, the numbers do not lie. They bleed. In the last twelve months, two more lives were lost—one was 21, another 75. 267 people have been injured in crashes here in the past year.

Just last week, two men on scooters were struck and killed on the Bronx River Parkway. Police said, “The men were ejected from their scooters and fatally injured in the collision.” The driver faces charges of vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The crash closed the highway for hours, but for two families, the road will never reopen.

Vulnerable Road Users Pay the Price

Pedestrians and cyclists do not walk away. SUVs killed three people on foot here. Cars and trucks caused most of the pain: 164 pedestrian injuries, three deaths. Motorcycles and mopeds left six more injured. Bikes, too, are not spared. The street is not safe for anyone outside a car.

A year ago, a cyclist was crushed at E 233rd Street. A 64-year-old man was killed crossing with the signal at Bronxwood Avenue. The pattern is simple. The outcome is not.

Leadership: Progress and Delay

Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes to curb repeat speeders with mandatory speed limiters. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has backed red light camera expansion and a bill to cut driving by 20%. But Heastie also blocked the city’s push for lower speed limits. As one mother said after her child was killed, it was “Albany backroom politics at its worst.”

Every day of delay means another family grieves.

The Next Step Is Yours

Call your council member. Call your state senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action on repeat dangerous drivers. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street remembers. So should we.

Heastie Opposes Safety Boosting Bus Lane Penalties

Albany lawmakers dropped Hochul’s plan to raise fines for blocking bus lanes and dodging tolls. No new transit money. No tougher penalties. Riders left waiting. Drivers keep blocking. The city’s slowest buses stay slow. Vulnerable New Yorkers pay the price.

On March 15, 2022, the New York State Assembly and Senate released one-house budget proposals. Both left out Governor Hochul’s measures to increase fines for blocking bus lanes, raise penalties for toll evasion and defaced plates, and boost transit funding. The matter: 'State legislators used their budget proposals to prioritize drivers blocking bus lanes and evading tolls, omitting Gov. Hochul's proposals to raise fines for blocking bus lanes and increase penalties for toll evasion and defaced license plates.' Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie defended stripping policy from the budget. Riders Alliance’s Danny Pearlstein slammed the move: 'No increase in subway or bus service for millions of riders, no enhanced enforcement in the city with the slowest buses in the country.' The Senate promised to revisit bus lane enforcement later. Advocates doubted action would follow. The legislature’s inaction leaves vulnerable road users exposed, with no relief from blocked bus lanes or reckless drivers.
