Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Midtown-Times Square?
Midtown Bleeds While City Hall Sleeps
Midtown-Times Square: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
Blood on the Asphalt
In Midtown-Times Square, the numbers do not lie. Ten dead. Thirty seriously hurt. Over 1,200 injured since 2022. The toll does not slow. It grinds on, day after day, year after year.
Just last week, a van crashed near 42nd and 10th. Police found 76 propane tanks and 75 gallons of gasoline inside. A woman and a child sat in the parked car the runaway food cart struck. Both went to the hospital. The driver faces charges for reckless endangerment and fire code violations. Firefighters forced entry into the van, removing 76 20-pound propane cylinders and 15 five-gallon fuel containers, the report said. The street could have gone up in flames.
A day later, a city worker fixing a street sign was slashed by a cyclist after a near-miss. The DOT called it an “abhorrent assault of a NYC DOT employee who performs critical work to keep our city moving”. The worker bled in the street. The assailant fled. No arrests.
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Rest
SUVs and cars did the worst. Four killed by SUVs. One by a bus. One by a taxi. The rest by bikes, mopeds, and trucks. The numbers are cold, but the pain is not. Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt.
Leadership: Votes, Delays, and the Cost of Waiting
Local leaders have acted. Assembly Member Tony Simone and Senator Liz Krueger both voted to extend school speed zones and back speed cameras. Krueger voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. But the city still waits for a default 20 mph speed limit. Council Member Keith Powers called for using idle congestion pricing cameras for enforcement, but the equipment sits unused. The city moves slow. The street moves fast.
The Call
Every day of delay is another day of blood. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph citywide speed limit. Demand action against repeat speeders. Do not wait for another name on the list.
