Canal Street Bleeds While City Sleeps

Tribeca-Civic Center: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

Blood on Canal Street

A man, 55, tried to cross Canal Street. An SUV hit him. He died. The street stayed open. The city moved on. In the last twelve months, 124 people were injured in 283 crashes here. Three were left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. No one else died. But the numbers do not heal. They do not bring back the man who never made it across the street. NYC Open Data

Cyclists and Pedestrians: Still Exposed

A cyclist, 23, was hit by an SUV at Canal and Lafayette. He was thrown, bleeding from the head, left conscious but changed. An 88-year-old man, crossing Centre at Canal, was struck by a sedan. He bled in the street. He survived, but not unchanged. These are not rare stories. In this district, cars and SUVs caused the only death and most of the serious injuries to people walking or riding. Bikes and trucks hurt people too, but the weight of the harm is clear.

Leadership: Promises and Waiting

The city says it wants zero deaths. The mayor calls traffic violence a crime. But the streets here tell a different story. One law, Sammy’s Law, lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. The city has the power. It has not used it. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. As one official said after another disaster, “We averted disaster possibly by just minutes.” But minutes are not enough. Lives are lost in seconds.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. This is policy. Every day leaders wait, more people bleed on these streets. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to use the power they have. Lower the speed limit. Keep the cameras on. Do not wait for another body in the crosswalk. Take action now.
