Gramercy Bleeds: Demand Action Before the Next Crash

Gramercy: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025

The Toll in Gramercy

A man steps into the crosswalk. A cyclist waits at the light. A child heads to school. In Gramercy, the street does not forgive. In the last twelve months, 91 people were hurt in crashes. Four were left with serious injuries. No one died this year. But the numbers do not tell the whole story. Each injury is a life bent out of shape. Each crash is a family waiting in a hospital room.

Bicyclists and pedestrians take the worst of it. In the past year, bikes and cars both left their mark. A cyclist was killed last year. This year, a child was hit at E 23rd. A pedestrian was struck by a sedan at E 22nd. An SUV hit a woman outside the crosswalk on E 15th. The list goes on. The street is a wound that never closes.

Leadership: Promises and Delays

The city talks of Vision Zero. They say one death is too many. They point to new laws, like Sammy’s Law, which lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. But in Gramercy, the pace of change is slow. Crashes keep coming. The city builds bike lanes and redesigns intersections, but the danger remains. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. Laws pass, but lives are still lost.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. The council can lower the speed limit. The mayor can push for more cameras. Albany can keep the cameras on. But nothing changes unless you demand it.

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to use the power they have. Lower the speed. Keep the cameras. Build the lanes.

Do not wait for another name on the list. Act now.

Take action today.
