CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.

Lower the Speed, Save a Life—Or Bury Another Neighbor
Upper West Side (Central): Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 24, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Three people killed. Over a hundred injured. That’s just this year so far in Upper West Side (Central). The numbers do not flinch. Two elders—one 75, one 55—are gone. A 57-year-old cyclist was crushed by a truck on West 76th. A 69-year-old woman was killed crossing with the light at Amsterdam and 96th. A 57-year-old man died under the wheels of an SUV at Broadway and 86th. The street does not care if you are careful. It does not care if you have the light. It does not care if you are old or young.
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and cars do most of the damage. In the last three years, SUVs and sedans killed three pedestrians here. They left dozens more broken. Trucks and buses hit twelve people. Bikes and mopeds, too, but the carnage comes on four wheels. The city’s own data shows it: “A pedestrian hit at 30 mph is five times more likely to die than at 20 mph. The math is brutal.” Take action
Leaders: Votes and Silence
The law now lets the city lower the speed limit to 20 mph. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal pushed for it. State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal voted to curb repeat speeders with speed limiters. But the city drags its feet. The default speed is still 25. The dead keep coming. “Every day you wait risks another family losing someone they love.” Take action
What Next?
No more waiting. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action against repeat speeders. The street will not wait. Neither should you.

Hoylman Supports Expanded Public Seating at Moynihan▸Feb 4 - Manhattan lawmakers call for seats at Moynihan Train Hall. Passengers sit on floors. Seniors left standing. Officials say exclusionary design punishes transit users. They demand benches for all, not just ticketed riders. Amtrak stays silent. The hall remains bare.
On February 4, 2022, a group of Manhattan elected officials, including State Senator Brad Hoylman, sent a letter demanding public seating at Moynihan Train Hall. The matter, titled 'Legislators Demand Public Seating at the Moynihan Train Hall,' highlights the lack of benches in the busy transit hub. The letter states, 'To ensure everyone can enjoy this public good, we request the installation of additional seating.' Lawmakers Hoylman, Nadler, Jackson, Gottfried, Levine, and Bottcher signed the letter. They note that the small waiting area for ticketed passengers is not enough, forcing travelers—especially seniors—to sit on the floor or wander in search of a seat. The officials reject exclusionary design that targets unhoused people, urging services and outreach instead. Amtrak has not responded. The push for seating centers the needs of all passengers, especially the vulnerable.

Hoylman-Sigal Supports Safety-Boosting Elimination of Parking Minimums▸Jan 31 - State lawmakers push to end mandatory parking in new buildings. The bill targets car dominance, aims to cut congestion, and free space for homes. Sen. Hoylman leads the charge. The move could shift city streets, making room for people, not just cars.
Senate Bill, introduced by Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan), would ban cities from forcing developers to build off-street parking in new projects. The bill, considered as of January 31, 2022, is under review by the state legislature. The measure, described as aiming to 'encourage public transit use, reduce car ownership, and address climate change,' would give New York City 180 days to update zoning if passed. Sen. Hoylman, the sponsor, calls parking minimums 'backwards' and a barrier to affordable housing. Sen. Alessandra Biaggi (D-Bronx) has shown support for similar efforts. The Department of City Planning and the governor's office will review the legislation if it advances. The bill does not ban parking outright, but removes the mandate, letting developers decide. Advocates say this could lower costs and open space for housing or community needs.
