Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 18, 2025

A Region Marked by Loss

A man steps off the curb. A car does not stop. In Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester, the numbers pile up: 3 dead, 855 injured, 10 seriously hurt since 2022. The bodies are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. In the last year alone, 262 people were hurt in 303 crashes. One did not come home.

A 60-year-old man was crushed and killed by a tangle of sedans and SUVs on Givan Avenue. He was not at an intersection. He was not given a chance. NYC Open Data keeps the record. The street keeps the stain.

Who Pays the Price?

The young bleed here too. 22 children were injured in crashes in the last 12 months. The old are not spared. The cars do not care. SUVs and sedans lead the count of harm. The road does not forgive.

One mother, after her son was shot in a road rage incident, asked only, “Why? Why? Why.” The question hangs over every crash, every siren.

Leadership: Action or Absence?

The city talks of Vision Zero. The state passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York City lower speed limits. But in these streets, the pace of change is slow. No local leader here has stood up with a bold plan. No press quote. No bill. No promise.

The silence is loud. The dead cannot vote. The injured cannot wait.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. This is policy.

Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand cameras that never blink.

Do not wait for another name on the list.

Take action now.
