CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.
CloseBlood on the Crosswalks: How Many More Must Die Before They Act?
Lower East Side: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
Eight dead. Fifteen left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In just over three years, the Lower East Side has seen 1,627 crashes. Cars, trucks, bikes, and mopeds—steel against skin. Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt.
A pickup truck on Water Street crushed four people on July 4, 2024. Three women and a man, all pedestrians, died where they stood. An eleven-year-old boy survived with his face torn open. No warning. No time to run. Crash data from NYC Open Data.
A city worker, fixing a street sign at dawn, was slashed by a delivery cyclist after a near miss. “They weren’t even in the bike lane, they were parked on the corner, fixing the light or the sign or something,” a witness said. The worker bled on the sidewalk. The cyclist fled.
Heavy vehicles—trucks and buses—account for four of the eight deaths, a disproportionate share of fatalities given their smaller share of total crashes.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. Council Member Marte co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to clear sightlines and protect those on foot. The bill sits in committee, waiting. Council records on Legistar.
Senator Kavanagh voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. The law targets the worst offenders, but the carnage continues while the process drags on. Bill details on Open States.
On Canal Street, Council Member Marte said, “The time is long overdue to take action in response to the dire conditions of Canal Street. He pledged his support to take action.”
Political solutions must be citywide, not local gestures. New York must lower its default speed limit across the city and require speed-limiters (intelligent speed assistance) for habitual speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) pushes speed-limiter tech for repeat offenders; implementing citywide lower limits plus targeted speed-limiter requirements would cut kinetic force and save lives.
The Cost of Waiting
Every delay is another body on the pavement. The city has started daylighting intersections and lowering speed limits, but the pace is glacial. The Fifth Avenue redesign cut bike and bus lanes to keep car lanes wide. “We want a real solution to the bike and pedestrian safety issue,” said a community board leader.
The dead cannot wait.
Concrete steps the city and local leaders should implement now:
- Install Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) and hardened curb turns at dangerous crossings.
- Expand daylighting and daylighting enforcement near crosswalks; ban curbside parking that blocks visibility.
- Deploy targeted enforcement and traffic-calming on corridors with high severe-injury and truck involvement.
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand safer streets now.

Rivera Demands Timely Publication And Annual Greenways Updates▸Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.

Aug 14 - City unveils Greater Greenways map. The gaps remain. No timelines. No money. Riders and walkers wait while paint is sold as 'greenways.' The release is eight months late. Midtown's showpiece still misses the East Side.
Plan: Greater Greenways master plan (no bill number). Status: released Aug. 14, 2025; agencies: DOT and Parks; committee: none. A 2022 law by Council Member Carlina Rivera requires publication and annual updates; this release arrived over eight months late. The plan is "intended to connect gaps across NYC's bike and pedestrian paths." It names early action corridors and uses $7.25 million in federal funds to write corridor plans by 2028. Construction timelines are missing. Parks Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa says it maps "strengths and weaknesses." The Midtown Greenway showcase still leaves the East Side gap. Safety impact: none yet. Without implementation details, funding, or accountability, conditions do not change. No system-wide gains for riders and walkers until real build-out.
