Chambers and Church: a cyclist down, a pattern unchanged

Tribeca-Civic Center: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 20, 2025

Just after dusk at Church Street and Chambers Street, a driver in a sedan hit a person on a bike. Police recorded driver inattention at the scene (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Sep 16: another person on a bike was injured nearby; police logged the crash but did not identify the other vehicle (NYC Open Data).
  • Sep 15: at Canal Street and Lafayette Street, a driver in a sedan hit a cyclist; police noted driver inattention (NYC Open Data).
  • Sep 4: a cyclist was injured in a collision that involved an SUV; details are limited in the police record (NYC Open Data).

Canal and Church keep taking hits

Since Jan 1, 2022, Tribeca–Civic Center has recorded 1,554 crashes, leaving 3 people dead and 547 injured (NYC Open Data). People on bikes account for 124 injuries. People walking account for 133 injuries. Five crashes caused serious injuries (NYC Open Data).

Crashes cluster on Canal Street and on Church Street—both listed among the top injury locations in this area (NYC Open Data). Police records in these crashes often cite inattention and failure to yield by drivers (NYC Open Data).

The year-to-date picture

This year, 279 crashes have been recorded here, with 129 injuries and 3 serious injuries. Last year at this point, police recorded 355 crashes, 140 injuries, and 1 serious injury (NYC Open Data). Fewer crashes is good. People are still getting hurt on the same blocks.

The fixes on the table, and who holds them

Council Member Christopher Marte co‑sponsored a city bill to ban parking at corners—daylighting to make people visible in crosswalks (Int 1138‑2024) (Streetsblog NYC). State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee for the state bill to require speed‑limiters for repeat dangerous drivers (S 4045) (New York State Senate). Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored the speed‑camera extension bill (A 8787) and a bill to expand camera enforcement and stop plate obstruction (A 7997) (NY Assembly; NY Assembly).

Two next steps are clear and within reach:

  • Lower speeds on our streets. Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras in 2025, keeping a proven tool in place (AMNY). The city can pair that enforcement with broader slow zones.
  • Stop repeat speeders. The Senate bill to require intelligent speed assistance for habitual violators has momentum; the Assembly can move its companion (A 2299) now (New York State Senate).

The rider at Church and Chambers is not an outlier. The numbers on Canal and Church say this will happen again unless the people with power use it.

Take one step today. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
