Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Chelsea-Hudson Yards?
Blood on the Asphalt: NYC Streets Still Killing
Chelsea-Hudson Yards: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 5, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
In Chelsea-Hudson Yards, the violence is relentless. Six people killed. Fifteen left with serious injuries. Eight hundred eleven injured since 2022. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care if you are young or old. They do not care if you are careful.
Just last week, a 65-year-old e-bike rider was struck on Second Avenue. The driver fled, drove onto the sidewalk, and later told police he ran because he did not have a license. The cyclist was left with a broken skull. The driver now faces charges for leaving the scene and driving unlicensed. He told police he fled initially because he did not have a license.
On 8th Avenue and West 25th, an 86-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal. The driver was unlicensed. The crash report lists “failure to yield” and “driver inattention.” There are no second chances at the curb.
Who Pays the Price
SUVs and cars did the most harm. They killed one, seriously injured three, and left over 150 hurt. Trucks and buses injured dozens more. Bikes and mopeds added to the toll, but the weight of death rides on four wheels or more.
The stories repeat. A cyclist crushed by a taxi. A pedestrian struck by a sedan. A box truck rips into a cab. The sidewalk is not safe. The crosswalk is not safe. The bike lane is not safe.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some leaders have moved. State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal voted yes on a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. He backed it in committee. Assembly Member Tony Simone co-sponsored bills to expand camera enforcement and hold vehicle owners liable. Council Member Erik Bottcher sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks.
But the pace is slow. The carnage is not. Every week brings new blood to the street.
The Words of the Street
A resident said, “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time.” Another called for action: “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying.”
Act Now—Or Count the Dead
Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed limiters for repeat offenders. Demand streets that do not kill.
The city will not change unless you force it. The dead cannot speak. You must.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Employer ID Plan Over Licensing▸Council Member Holden’s e-bike license bill piles red tape on riders but leaves pedestrians exposed. The proposal skips real fixes—wider sidewalks, protected lanes, safer work rules. It targets e-bikes, not the cars and street chaos that truly endanger walkers.
Council Member Robert Holden introduced a bill, co-sponsored by a Council majority, to require licenses for all e-bikes. The bill, discussed in October 2023, has not specified a streamlined process for licensing. The matter’s summary states: 'Holden's bill does nothing to rectify the fundamental issues of inadequate space and dangerous workplace practices.' Holden and his colleagues push regulation, but critics say the bill ignores the real threats: narrow sidewalks, blocked crosswalks, and unsafe delivery work. The proposal would burden riders and discourage micromobility, while failing to address illegal mopeds or car dominance. State Senator Brad Hoylman’s employer-provided ID plan is cited as a better alternative. The opinion calls for protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and fair enforcement, not more bureaucracy. Holden’s bill, critics argue, misses the mark for pedestrian safety.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Employer ID Plan Over Licensing▸Council Member Holden’s e-bike license bill piles red tape on riders but leaves pedestrians exposed. The proposal skips real fixes—wider sidewalks, protected lanes, safer work rules. It targets e-bikes, not the cars and street chaos that truly endanger walkers.
Council Member Robert Holden introduced a bill, co-sponsored by a Council majority, to require licenses for all e-bikes. The bill, discussed in October 2023, has not specified a streamlined process for licensing. The matter’s summary states: 'Holden's bill does nothing to rectify the fundamental issues of inadequate space and dangerous workplace practices.' Holden and his colleagues push regulation, but critics say the bill ignores the real threats: narrow sidewalks, blocked crosswalks, and unsafe delivery work. The proposal would burden riders and discourage micromobility, while failing to address illegal mopeds or car dominance. State Senator Brad Hoylman’s employer-provided ID plan is cited as a better alternative. The opinion calls for protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and fair enforcement, not more bureaucracy. Holden’s bill, critics argue, misses the mark for pedestrian safety.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Employer ID Plan Over Licensing▸Council Member Holden’s e-bike license bill piles red tape on riders but leaves pedestrians exposed. The proposal skips real fixes—wider sidewalks, protected lanes, safer work rules. It targets e-bikes, not the cars and street chaos that truly endanger walkers.
Council Member Robert Holden introduced a bill, co-sponsored by a Council majority, to require licenses for all e-bikes. The bill, discussed in October 2023, has not specified a streamlined process for licensing. The matter’s summary states: 'Holden's bill does nothing to rectify the fundamental issues of inadequate space and dangerous workplace practices.' Holden and his colleagues push regulation, but critics say the bill ignores the real threats: narrow sidewalks, blocked crosswalks, and unsafe delivery work. The proposal would burden riders and discourage micromobility, while failing to address illegal mopeds or car dominance. State Senator Brad Hoylman’s employer-provided ID plan is cited as a better alternative. The opinion calls for protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and fair enforcement, not more bureaucracy. Holden’s bill, critics argue, misses the mark for pedestrian safety.
