Van Cortlandt Park: Blood on the Asphalt, Silence in City Hall
Van Cortlandt Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
One person dead. Five left with life-changing injuries. In Van Cortlandt Park, from 2022 to June 2025, the road has not forgiven. The names are not here. Only the numbers. But every number is a body, a family, a future cut short or bent out of shape. 281 people injured in 385 crashes.
Pedestrians are not spared. A 64-year-old woman died walking along the Major Deegan Expressway. Two more pedestrians were struck—one at an intersection, one not. The cars kept going. The street stayed the same. See the data.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city talks about Vision Zero. The state passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York City lower speed limits. But in Van Cortlandt Park, the pace of change is slow. No new protected bike lanes. No major redesigns. The numbers do not show progress. They show pain.
Speed cameras work, but only where installed. The law that keeps them running is always under threat. Each delay is a risk. Each risk is a name that could be lost.
The Same Streets, The Same Danger
Most crashes involve cars and SUVs. The machines are heavy, fast, and everywhere. Motorcycles crash too. Bikes are not the problem. The problem is speed, steel, and inaction.
The crisis is not fate. It is policy. It is the choice to wait. It is the silence after the sirens fade.
What Comes Next
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand lower speed limits. Demand real street redesigns. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The road will not change itself. Take action now.
