Broadway and 8th: a cyclist down, a pattern unbroken
Greenwich Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 4, 2025
Just after 8 PM on Jul 10, a driver turning left at Broadway and E 8th hit a 30‑year‑old cyclist. He suffered a concussion. The car had Alabama plates. The police coded it as failure to yield. NYC Open Data (CrashID 4827716).
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Greenwich Village, 2 people have been killed and 385 injured in 746 crashes. Seven were recorded as serious injuries. NYC Open Data.
This year isn’t easing. Through Sep 4, crashes are 155, up from 116 at this point last year; injuries are 99, up from 56. Period stats.
Corners that don’t forgive
Bowery at E 4th took a life on Jun 23, 2024. A taxi hit a 79‑year‑old woman at the intersection. She died. Crash record (CrashID 4735570).
Fifth Avenue at W 12th saw death, too. A 28‑year‑old pedestrian at the corner was struck in 2022 and recorded as an apparent death. Crash record (CrashID 4560786).
Lafayette Street shows up again and again in the logs, with the most injuries in this area. Local analysis.
When it hits hardest
The single worst hour is 9 AM. Thirty‑two injuries. Evening brings another swell, with 6–7 PM logging 25–28 injuries. Local analysis.
Named mistakes repeat: failure to yield, drivers turning into people in the crosswalk or bike lane; distraction at the wheel. Those are in the reports. Local analysis.
Fix the turns. Clear the corners. Slow the cars.
This is a map of hard edges. Daylight the crosswalks so drivers can see. Harden the turns so cars take them slow. Add leading pedestrian intervals at the worst corners.
Council Member Carlina Rivera backed a bill to ban parking near crosswalks in 2024 (Int 1138‑2024). The problem on these blocks looks like that bill was written for it. Timeline record.
Albany levers are on the table
Two citywide steps would bite here.
- Lower the default speed. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can set safer limits. Our own Take Action page lays out the path and who to call. /take_action/.
- Stop the repeat speeders. State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee on S 4045 to require intelligent speed assistance for chronic violators (Jun 12, 2025). Open States. Assembly Member Deborah Glick is listed as a co‑sponsor on the Assembly side (A 2299, Jan 16, 2025). Open States.
Glick is also carrying bills to keep and strengthen camera enforcement around schools (A 8787, introduced Jun 5, 2025; A 7997, introduced Apr 16, 2025). A 8787. A 7997. Kavanagh voted yes to extend school‑zone cameras (S 8344). Record.
The pattern on Broadway and the Bowery is simple. Too fast. Too close. The fixes exist. Use them.
Take one step now. Ask City Hall to lower the limit and Albany to pass the speed‑limiter bill. /take_action/.
