No More Blood on Canal Street: Demand Safer Roads Now
Chinatown-Two Bridges: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Toll on the Street
No one died in Chinatown-Two Bridges this year. But the blood runs just beneath the surface. In the last twelve months, 178 people were hurt in 329 crashes. One was left with life-altering injuries. Most never make the news. They limp home, or don’t.
Last summer, a 32-year-old cyclist was thrown and left bleeding on Canal Street. A 69-year-old woman was killed at Chrystie and Grand. The numbers do not rest. Pedestrians, cyclists, children—none are spared.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
A crumpled e-bike. A flashing red light in the road. Just last week, a 65-year-old man was struck on Second Avenue by a driver who fled the scene. Paramedics found him “unconscious when they arrived and immediately started doing CPR,” said a witness. The driver was caught, but the wound remains.
On the Manhattan Bridge, a cyclist and a woman sitting on a bench were killed by a speeding car. “His trip was cut short at an intersection known to some to be very dangerous. It is time to make this known to all and time for the city to take action,” said the cyclist’s sister.
Leadership: Promises and Pressure
Council Member Marte has called out city neglect and co-sponsored bills to clear crosswalks and post safety rules for bike share. But the pace is slow. Assembly Member Grace Lee and Senator Brian Kavanagh have voted to extend speed cameras and curb repeat speeders. The bills are good. The street is still dangerous.
Every day without change is another day someone pays the price.
What Now?
Demand more. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to clear crosswalks, slow the cars, and redesign the streets. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Louis led as primary sponsor, joined by Brannan, Schulman, Banks, Farías, Carr, and Ariola. The law took effect March 15, 2025. Timely markings close the deadly window when streets lack crosswalks and lanes, protecting people on foot and bike.
