Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Hell'S Kitchen?
Hell’s Kitchen Bleeds—Lower the Limit, Save a Life
Hell’S Kitchen: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Toll in Hell’s Kitchen
The streets do not forgive. In the last twelve months, one person died and 269 were injured in crashes across Hell’s Kitchen. Four were left with serious injuries. The numbers do not tell you about the blood on the asphalt or the families waiting for a call that never comes. They only count the bodies.
Just last week, a sedan struck a cyclist on West 45th Street. Two days before, another cyclist was hit by a car on West 51st. These are not rare events. There have been 1,717 crashes since 2022. Six people killed. Twenty-one left with injuries that will not heal.
Who Pays the Price
The dead are not just numbers. They are neighbors. A 39-year-old pedestrian crushed by a box truck on 9th Avenue. A 29-year-old woman killed by a car at West 58th. A 62-year-old man struck by a truck on 8th Avenue. Each one gone in a moment. Each one a hole in someone’s life.
The city’s own data shows the pattern. Cars and SUVs caused the most harm—one death, 95 minor injuries, 54 moderate, six serious. Trucks killed two. Bikes, too, left their mark: 22 injured, one seriously. No one is safe, but the most vulnerable—those on foot, on bikes—pay the highest price.
Leadership: Promises and Pressure
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal backed Sammy’s Law, giving the city power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the city drags its feet. The default speed is still 25. The blood keeps coming.
As the FDNY mourned a fallen firefighter killed on the FDR, the city’s leaders offered words. “We lost a true hero this morning,” said Deputy Mayor Kaz Daughtry. “His dedication to serving and protecting New Yorkers…exemplifies the selflessness and courage that define all of New York’s Bravest.”
But words do not stop cars. Every day of delay is another day of risk.
Act: Demand Action Now
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders.
The dead cannot speak. You can. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Rosenthal Opposes Lifting Downtown Heliport Flight Cap▸City plans to lift helicopter flight limits at Downtown Manhattan Heliport. New contract would allow more tourist flights if half use electric aircraft. Advocates and Council Member Restler slam the move. They demand a ban on non-essential, luxury air travel.
On December 9, 2024, the city released a draft contract proposing to lift the cap on helicopter flights at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. The Economic Development Corporation, which manages the heliport, seeks to allow more flights if 50 percent use electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), pending FAA approval. The matter summary states: 'The city could lift a years-old cap on helicopter trips at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport in order to get companies to pivot to electric aircraft.' Council Member Lincoln Restler, representing Brooklyn waterfront neighborhoods, criticized the plan and called for a ban on non-essential tourism and luxury air taxi flights. Restler previously introduced legislation to ban such trips, but it failed. Advocates Melissa Elstein and Andrew Rosenthal of Stop The Chop also oppose the plan, citing noise, quality of life, and expanded luxury service. The contract includes expanded lounges and segregated passenger flows, which advocates see as a move to boost luxury air travel.

Rosenthal Opposes Lifting Downtown Heliport Flight Cap▸City plans to lift helicopter flight limits at Downtown Manhattan Heliport. New contract would allow more tourist flights if half use electric aircraft. Advocates and Council Member Restler slam the move. They demand a ban on non-essential, luxury air travel.
On December 9, 2024, the city released a draft contract proposing to lift the cap on helicopter flights at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. The Economic Development Corporation, which manages the heliport, seeks to allow more flights if 50 percent use electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), pending FAA approval. The matter summary states: 'The city could lift a years-old cap on helicopter trips at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport in order to get companies to pivot to electric aircraft.' Council Member Lincoln Restler, representing Brooklyn waterfront neighborhoods, criticized the plan and called for a ban on non-essential tourism and luxury air taxi flights. Restler previously introduced legislation to ban such trips, but it failed. Advocates Melissa Elstein and Andrew Rosenthal of Stop The Chop also oppose the plan, citing noise, quality of life, and expanded luxury service. The contract includes expanded lounges and segregated passenger flows, which advocates see as a move to boost luxury air travel.
