Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bronx Park?
Bronx Streets Run Red While City Sleeps
Bronx Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 10, 2025
The Slow Bleed on Bronx Streets
In Bronx Park, the numbers do not lie. Seven dead. Over 500 injured. These are not just numbers. They are neighbors, children, elders. In the last year alone, one person died and 169 were injured in 162 crashes. The pain is not abstract. It is a woman screaming on the sidewalk, a child in the crosswalk, a family waiting for news that never comes.
Just days ago, a Ford Mustang jumped the curb at East 149th and Courtlandt. Six people were thrown to the ground. “People were yelling, were in pain, so yelling, crying, it was very upsetting,” said Vivian Cole. The driver ran. The street stayed bloody. The city called it a hit-and-run. The people called it terror.
Who Pays the Price?
Cars and SUVs do the killing. In three years, sedans and SUVs took two lives and left 21 more with injuries. Trucks hurt two. Not a single death from a bicycle. The violence is not random. It is the weight of steel against flesh. The city counts the bodies. The drivers keep driving.
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Council Member Oswald Feliz has voted for bills to legalize safe crossings and co-sponsored laws to daylight intersections, add speed humps, and ban obscured plates. But on the ground, the carnage continues. “We thought it was a bomb or something, because we are all panicking around here,” said Christina Sieh. The fear is real. The fixes are slow.
The city has power now. Sammy’s Law lets leaders drop the speed limit to 20 mph. They have not done it. Each day of delay is another chance for a car to jump the curb, another family to grieve.
Call to Action: Demand Action, Not Excuses
Call your Council Member. Call the Mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand daylighted corners. Demand enforcement that targets the real danger—drivers, not walkers or riders.
Do not wait for another siren. Do not wait for another name on the list. The blood on the street is not an accident. It is a choice. Change it.
