Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Murray Hill-Kips Bay?
Blood on the Pavement, Silence in City Hall
Murray Hill-Kips Bay: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
In Murray Hill-Kips Bay, the street never sleeps. In the last year alone, one person died and 193 were injured in 297 crashes. Four suffered wounds so grave they may never walk the same. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care if you are young or old. Pedestrians and cyclists take the worst of it.
Just weeks ago, a 61-year-old woman crossing with the signal at Lexington and 37th was struck by a truck. She left the scene semiconscious, blood on her head, the world spinning (NYC Open Data). A 25-year-old cyclist was thrown from his bike on 2nd Avenue, his skull split open, the truck that hit him parked and silent (NYC Open Data).
A bus killed a man at 3rd and 28th. “Crush injuries,” the report said. The cause: driver inattention (NYC Open Data).
The System Fails the Living
The dead do not speak. The living mourn and wait. The city counts the bodies and moves on. “He was then struck by an unknown vehicle shortly thereafter, which did not remain on the scene,” police reported after a firefighter died on the FDR Drive. The driver fled. The city shrugs.
Leaders Act—But Not Fast Enough
Local leaders have taken steps. State Senator Kristen Gonzalez co-sponsored and voted for the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. Assembly Member Harvey Epstein co-sponsored the same bill. But the streets do not wait for laws to crawl through Albany.
Council Member Keith Powers called for repurposing idle congestion pricing cameras for speed and red-light enforcement when the city’s plan was paused, but the machines still sit unused.
The Call
The blood on the street is not an accident. It is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that work. Demand streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Powers Presses DOT for Update on Delayed Busway▸The Fifth Avenue busway remains stuck. Promised in 2020, it faces business pushback and city silence. Riders wait. Speeds drop. Advocates fume. DOT offers no answers. The city drags its feet while vulnerable road users pay the price.
""My office has been actively asking the Department of Transportation for an update for months, most recently last week, but have yet to receive a new timeline or details... we shouldn’t miss a big opportunity to transform Fifth Avenue."" -- Keith Powers
Bill: Fifth Avenue busway implementation. Status: Delayed. Committee: Not specified. Key dates: Announced 2020, stalled as of April 8, 2022. The project, described as a 'car-free busway between 57th and 34th streets,' aimed to speed up commutes for 110,000 bus riders. Council Member Keith Powers pressed DOT for updates, saying, 'we shouldn’t miss a big opportunity to transform Fifth Avenue.' Danny Pearlstein of Riders Alliance called it 'one of the most important busways in the City.' Despite proven success elsewhere, business interests stalled progress. The current plan offers a protected bike lane and pedestrian improvements, but no dedicated bus lane. DOT has not provided a timeline. Advocates and local officials remain frustrated. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, cyclists, pedestrians—are left exposed as the city delays.

Powers Presses DOT for Update on Delayed Busway▸The Fifth Avenue busway remains stuck. Promised in 2020, it faces business pushback and city silence. Riders wait. Speeds drop. Advocates fume. DOT offers no answers. The city drags its feet while vulnerable road users pay the price.
""My office has been actively asking the Department of Transportation for an update for months, most recently last week, but have yet to receive a new timeline or details... we shouldn’t miss a big opportunity to transform Fifth Avenue."" -- Keith Powers
Bill: Fifth Avenue busway implementation. Status: Delayed. Committee: Not specified. Key dates: Announced 2020, stalled as of April 8, 2022. The project, described as a 'car-free busway between 57th and 34th streets,' aimed to speed up commutes for 110,000 bus riders. Council Member Keith Powers pressed DOT for updates, saying, 'we shouldn’t miss a big opportunity to transform Fifth Avenue.' Danny Pearlstein of Riders Alliance called it 'one of the most important busways in the City.' Despite proven success elsewhere, business interests stalled progress. The current plan offers a protected bike lane and pedestrian improvements, but no dedicated bus lane. DOT has not provided a timeline. Advocates and local officials remain frustrated. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, cyclists, pedestrians—are left exposed as the city delays.

Bill: Fifth Avenue busway implementation. Status: Delayed. Committee: Not specified. Key dates: Announced 2020, stalled as of April 8, 2022.

Council Member Keith Powers pressed DOT for updates, saying, 'we shouldn’t miss a big opportunity to transform Fifth Avenue.'
