Gramercy Bleeds While Leaders Stall: Demand 20 MPH Now
Gramercy: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
In Gramercy, the street does not forgive. Since 2022, one person has died and seven have been seriously injured in traffic crashes here. In the last year alone, 103 people were hurt—five left with life-altering wounds. The numbers do not flinch. They do not lie.
Just weeks ago, a 65-year-old e-bike rider was struck on Second Avenue. The driver fled, leaving the man with a crushed skull. He was found unconscious, bleeding in the road. The driver later told police, “he fled initially because he did not have a license” (West Side Spirit).
On East 23rd Street, a cyclist was hit by a pickup truck. His leg was crushed. He wore a helmet. It did not matter. The truck kept going north. The cyclist was left on the pavement, his bike twisted beside him (NYC Open Data).
Patterns That Do Not Break
Cars and SUVs caused most of the harm—71 pedestrian injuries since 2022. Trucks and buses added four more. Bikes, too, played a part, with ten injuries, two of them serious. The street does not care what you drive. It only counts the bodies.
A resident said it plain: “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time” (CBS New York). The law is a rumor. The pain is real.
Leadership: Steps and Silences
Council Member Carlina Rivera has backed a bill to ban parking near crosswalks. Assembly Member Harvey Epstein co-sponsored a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting tech. Senator Kristen Gonzalez voted yes on a law to curb repeat dangerous drivers. These are steps. They are not enough.
The city can lower the speed limit to 20 mph. It has not. The street waits. The next crash is already on the calendar.
Call to Action
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement. Demand streets that put people first. Do not wait until the next siren.

Epstein Opposes Hochuls Pause Endangering Street Safety▸Jun 7 - Albany lawmakers shut down a last-ditch MTA funding plan after Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing. No replacement for the lost $1 billion. Transit riders and street users face uncertainty. Lawmakers call the move reckless. The city waits. Danger lingers.
On June 7, 2024, the New York State legislative session ended without passing a replacement funding plan for the MTA after Governor Kathy Hochul paused congestion pricing. The matter, described as 'Albany pumps the brakes on MTA funding plan in rebuke of Hochul’s move to ditch congestion pricing,' left the MTA without the $1 billion annual revenue congestion pricing would have provided. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced the session’s close without a deal. Lawmakers including State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris, State Sen. John Liu, Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, and Assemblyman Tony Simone criticized the governor’s decision and the proposed IOU bailout. Gounardes said, 'I cannot in good conscience ratify a decision that will eliminate a significant, dedicated revenue source for the MTA’s capital plan.' The pause leaves the city’s transit future—and the safety of those who rely on it—uncertain.

Epstein Opposes Hochuls Pause Endangering Street Safety▸Jun 7 - Albany lawmakers shut down a last-ditch MTA funding plan after Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing. No replacement for the lost $1 billion. Transit riders and street users face uncertainty. Lawmakers call the move reckless. The city waits. Danger lingers.
On June 7, 2024, the New York State legislative session ended without passing a replacement funding plan for the MTA after Governor Kathy Hochul paused congestion pricing. The matter, described as 'Albany pumps the brakes on MTA funding plan in rebuke of Hochul’s move to ditch congestion pricing,' left the MTA without the $1 billion annual revenue congestion pricing would have provided. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced the session’s close without a deal. Lawmakers including State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris, State Sen. John Liu, Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, and Assemblyman Tony Simone criticized the governor’s decision and the proposed IOU bailout. Gounardes said, 'I cannot in good conscience ratify a decision that will eliminate a significant, dedicated revenue source for the MTA’s capital plan.' The pause leaves the city’s transit future—and the safety of those who rely on it—uncertain.

Epstein Opposes Hochuls Pause Endangering Street Safety▸Jun 7 - Albany lawmakers shut down a last-ditch MTA funding plan after Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing. No replacement for the lost $1 billion. Transit riders and street users face uncertainty. Lawmakers call the move reckless. The city waits. Danger lingers.

The matter, described as 'Albany pumps the brakes on MTA funding plan in rebuke of Hochul’s move to ditch congestion pricing,' left the MTA without the $1 billion annual revenue congestion pricing would have provided. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced the session’s close without a deal. Lawmakers including State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris, State Sen. John Liu, Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, and Assemblyman Tony Simone criticized the governor’s decision and the proposed IOU bailout. Gounardes said, 'I cannot in good conscience ratify a decision that will eliminate a significant, dedicated revenue source for the MTA’s capital plan.' The pause leaves the city’s transit future—and the safety of those who rely on it—uncertain.

Epstein Opposes Hochuls Pause Endangering Street Safety▸Jun 7 - Albany lawmakers shut down a last-ditch MTA funding plan after Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing. No replacement for the lost $1 billion. Transit riders and street users face uncertainty. Lawmakers call the move reckless. The city waits. Danger lingers.
On June 7, 2024, the New York State legislative session ended without passing a replacement funding plan for the MTA after Governor Kathy Hochul paused congestion pricing. The matter, described as 'Albany pumps the brakes on MTA funding plan in rebuke of Hochul’s move to ditch congestion pricing,' left the MTA without the $1 billion annual revenue congestion pricing would have provided. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced the session’s close without a deal. Lawmakers including State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris, State Sen. John Liu, Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, and Assemblyman Tony Simone criticized the governor’s decision and the proposed IOU bailout. Gounardes said, 'I cannot in good conscience ratify a decision that will eliminate a significant, dedicated revenue source for the MTA’s capital plan.' The pause leaves the city’s transit future—and the safety of those who rely on it—uncertain.

SUV Slams Debris, Driver Injured on 2nd Ave▸May 27 - SUV hit debris on 2nd Ave. Driver took the blow to the chest. Police cite traffic control ignored and obstructions. Metal, glass, pain. Manhattan street, another wound.
According to the police report, a crash struck 2 Avenue near East 23 Street in Manhattan at 19:21. An SUV, a sedan, a taxi, and a garbage truck were involved. The 34-year-old male SUV driver suffered chest injuries and whiplash.

Epstein Opposes Hochuls Pause Endangering Street Safety▸Jun 7 - Albany lawmakers shut down a last-ditch MTA funding plan after Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing. No replacement for the lost $1 billion. Transit riders and street users face uncertainty. Lawmakers call the move reckless. The city waits. Danger lingers.
On June 7, 2024, the New York State legislative session ended without passing a replacement funding plan for the MTA after Governor Kathy Hochul paused congestion pricing. The matter, described as 'Albany pumps the brakes on MTA funding plan in rebuke of Hochul’s move to ditch congestion pricing,' left the MTA without the $1 billion annual revenue congestion pricing would have provided. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins announced the session’s close without a deal. Lawmakers including State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris, State Sen. John Liu, Assemblyman Harvey Epstein, and Assemblyman Tony Simone criticized the governor’s decision and the proposed IOU bailout. Gounardes said, 'I cannot in good conscience ratify a decision that will eliminate a significant, dedicated revenue source for the MTA’s capital plan.' The pause leaves the city’s transit future—and the safety of those who rely on it—uncertain.
