The toll here does not end
Since Jan 1, 2022, Midtown–Times Square has logged 3,437 crashes, injuring 1,793 people and killing 12. NYC Open Data
This year is running worse than last: 656 crashes so far versus 637 at this point a year ago, with 6 deaths this year compared to 4 last year. NYC Open Data
The pattern is blunt. Police records point again and again to driver failure to yield and distraction. Deaths line up in the late afternoon and night — 3 PM, 5 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM. NYC Open Data
Hot corners repeat: Avenue of the Americas, 7 Avenue, W 51 St, West 42 Street, West 47 Street. NYC Open Data
Streets made for speed, people left to dodge
Two cyclists were killed at 5 Ave and W 51 St last year. An 83-year-old woman crossing with the signal was killed at Avenue of the Americas and W 58 St. These are police records, not rumors. NYC Open Data
Bus lanes and car-light streets are one fix. The city pledged a 34th Street busway in a Midtown deal, and Council Member Keith Powers said, “I’m glad that we were able to secure a commitment on the 34th Street busway” — a move meant to calm one of the busiest corridors. Streetsblog NYC
At a Midtown bus race, Powers was blunter: “It’s time to get buses moving faster, and the busway will do just that.” amNY
Who must act, and how
Local fixes are known: daylight every corner, give pedestrians a head start, harden left turns, and keep trucks out of bike lines and crosswalks with physical barriers. Target evening hours when deaths spike. These match the crash patterns above. NYC Open Data
Citywide, the bills exist to slow the worst drivers. State Senator Liz Krueger co-sponsored and voted yes in committee on the Senate’s speed-limiter bill S 4045. Assembly Member Tony Simone co-sponsored the Assembly’s companion A 2299. Council Member Keith Powers backed the 34th Street busway commitment. Streetsblog NYC amNY Open States
One more lever sits at City Hall. Sammy’s Law allows lower speeds. Our own action plan lays it out: a 20 MPH default and speed limiters for repeat offenders. /take_action/
The man hit on W 47 St will not be the last unless someone moves. Start with the slow streets. Then stop the fast drivers. /take_action/
