Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Hell'S Kitchen?
Hell’s Kitchen Bleeds: City Stalls, Bodies Fall
Hell’S Kitchen: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
The Toll in Hell’s Kitchen
The streets do not forgive. In the last twelve months, one person died and 275 were injured in traffic crashes in Hell’s Kitchen. Five of those injuries were serious. The dead do not speak. The wounded carry scars you cannot see.
Just this spring, a 39-year-old man was killed by a box truck on West 40th Street. Last year, a 29-year-old woman died under the wheels at 9th Avenue and West 58th. These are not isolated. They are the drumbeat of daily life here.
The Voices on the Street
People see what happens. They know the danger. After a cyclist was struck in Washington Heights, a resident described the lawlessness: “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time.” Another pleaded for action: “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying.”
The numbers are relentless. Since 2022, six people have died and 791 have been injured in 1,732 crashes in this neighborhood. Most victims are people on foot or on bikes. Most drivers keep going.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some in Albany have moved. Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal helped pass Sammy’s Law, giving the city power to lower speed limits. State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal voted to curb repeat speeders. But the city has not yet used its new power to set a 20 mph limit. The carnage continues.
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street.
The Next Step Is Yours
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit and real enforcement. The dead cannot speak for themselves. You must do it for them.

According to the police report, a motorcycle traveling east struck a 2013 SUV making a U-turn westbound on West 57th Street in Manhattan.

No other injuries or contributing factors were noted.
Hoylman Supports Expanded Public Seating at Moynihan▸Manhattan lawmakers call for seats at Moynihan Train Hall. Passengers sit on floors. Seniors left standing. Officials say exclusionary design punishes transit users. They demand benches for all, not just ticketed riders. Amtrak stays silent. The hall remains bare.
On February 4, 2022, a group of Manhattan elected officials, including State Senator Brad Hoylman, sent a letter demanding public seating at Moynihan Train Hall. The matter, titled 'Legislators Demand Public Seating at the Moynihan Train Hall,' highlights the lack of benches in the busy transit hub. The letter states, 'To ensure everyone can enjoy this public good, we request the installation of additional seating.' Lawmakers Hoylman, Nadler, Jackson, Gottfried, Levine, and Bottcher signed the letter. They note that the small waiting area for ticketed passengers is not enough, forcing travelers—especially seniors—to sit on the floor or wander in search of a seat. The officials reject exclusionary design that targets unhoused people, urging services and outreach instead. Amtrak has not responded. The push for seating centers the needs of all passengers, especially the vulnerable.

Taxi Strikes Pedestrian Crossing With Signal▸A 33-year-old woman was injured crossing West 55 Street at an intersection. The taxi was making a left turn when it hit her. She suffered knee and lower leg injuries. The driver was distracted. No vehicle damage was reported.
According to the police report, a 33-year-old female pedestrian was crossing West 55 Street at an intersection with the signal when a taxi making a left turn struck her.

The taxi had no visible damage despite the impact occurring at the center front end. The pedestrian was conscious and complained of internal pain.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Safety-Boosting Elimination of Parking Minimums▸State lawmakers push to end mandatory parking in new buildings. The bill targets car dominance, aims to cut congestion, and free space for homes. Sen. Hoylman leads the charge. The move could shift city streets, making room for people, not just cars.
Senate Bill, introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan), would ban cities from forcing developers to build off-street parking in new projects. The bill, considered as of January 31, 2022, is under review by the state legislature. The measure, described as aiming to 'encourage public transit use, reduce car ownership, and address climate change,' would give New York City 180 days to update zoning if passed. Sen. Hoylman, the sponsor, calls parking minimums 'backwards' and a barrier to affordable housing. Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx) has shown support for similar efforts. The Department of City Planning and the governor's office will review the legislation if it advances. The bill does not ban parking outright, but removes the mandate, letting developers decide. Advocates say this could lower costs and open space for housing or community needs.

State lawmakers push to end mandatory parking in new buildings. The bill targets car dominance, aims to cut congestion, and free space for homes. Sen. Hoylman leads the charge. The move could shift city streets, making room for people, not just cars.
Senate Bill, introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan), would ban cities from forcing developers to build off-street parking in new projects. The bill, considered as of January 31, 2022, is under review by the state legislature. The measure, described as aiming to 'encourage public transit use, reduce car ownership, and address climate change,' would give New York City 180 days to update zoning if passed. Sen. Hoylman, the sponsor, calls parking minimums 'backwards' and a barrier to affordable housing. Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx) has shown support for similar efforts. The Department of City Planning and the governor's office will review the legislation if it advances. The bill does not ban parking outright, but removes the mandate, letting developers decide. Advocates say this could lower costs and open space for housing or community needs.
