Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Manhattanville-West Harlem?
Manhattanville Bleeds While City Sleeps—Who Will Stop the Killing?
Manhattanville-West Harlem: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll: Lives Broken, Streets Unforgiving
In Manhattanville-West Harlem, the numbers do not lie. Two people killed. Five left with serious injuries. In just the last twelve months, 76 neighbors have been hurt in 165 crashes. The old, the young, the ones just trying to cross the street. A 65-year-old was killed. Four children were injured. The city keeps moving. The pain stays put.
Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. They killed. They left people bleeding on the pavement. Bikes and mopeds hurt people too, but the weight of steel and speed is what crushes bones and ends lives. The city’s open data shows the pattern: the deadliest threat is always the bigger vehicle.
Recent Wounds: No End in Sight
The blood is not dry. On June 26, a 24-year-old cyclist was thrown from his bike, face torn, after a crash with parked cars on Riverside Drive. City data confirms it. Last year, a 73-year-old man was killed at W 135th Street. The year before, a 25-year-old on an e-bike died on Convent Avenue. The names fade. The pain does not.
What Leaders Do—and Don’t Do
Council Member Shaun Abreu has backed bills to clear crosswalks and protect delivery workers. He co-sponsored a law to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to keep sightlines open for people on foot and bike. He called the city’s detour for the Hudson River Greenway “shortsighted”, urging a real, safe route for the 7,000 daily cyclists forced into danger. But the city still relies on paint and signs, not real protection. The danger remains.
State Senator Cordell Cleare voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act. The bill would force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. It is a start. But the streets are still ruled by the fast and the reckless.
The Call: Demand More Than Words
The slow disaster will not stop on its own. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real barriers, not just promises. Every day of delay is another day someone does not come home.

Abreu Supports Safety Boosting Waste Containerization Plan▸Sanitation wants to box up trash. That means tearing up 150,000 parking spots. The city will spend big. Car owners howl. Advocates call it bold. A pilot starts in Manhattan. Council Member Abreu backs it. Change comes slow, but the city may never look the same.
On May 8, 2023, the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) released a sweeping proposal to containerize New York City’s sidewalk trash. The plan, not yet a formal bill, launches with a pilot in Manhattan’s Community Board 9, supported by Council Member Shaun Abreu, who declared, “We’re going to start containerizing our trash.” The DSNY report claims containerization could work in 89% of the city but demands a major overhaul: 150,000 curbside parking spots repurposed, hundreds of millions spent on new trucks and bins. The matter summary notes, 'New York City can containerize its sidewalk garbage, but doing so will require a major overhaul of the sanitation system.' Advocates like Christine Berthet call it transformative; others, like car owners, bristle at lost parking. The plan faces political headwinds, but if realized, it could mark a historic shift for city streets.

Abreu Supports Safety Boosting Trash Containerization Replacing Parking▸New York City will cut 150,000 free parking spots for trash containers. The pilot starts in West Harlem this fall. The plan clears sidewalks, targets rats, and reclaims space for people. Council member Abreu and advocates back the move. Change is coming.
The Department of Sanitation announced a pilot to eliminate 150,000 free residential parking spaces for trash containerization. The program, starting fall 2023 in West Harlem, covers up to 10 residential blocks and 14 public schools. The DSNY report, with McKinsey input, finds containerization viable for most neighborhoods. The matter aims to 'remove garbage bags from sidewalks' and address public health. Council member Shaun Abreu supports the initiative, calling current practices 'backwards' and endorsing large-scale containerization. Advocates like CHEKPEDS founder Christine Berthet support repurposing parking for trash containers, citing sidewalk access. The city will double trash collection in the pilot area, with $5.7 million allocated. The plan faces challenges in dense areas, but signals a shift toward safer, cleaner streets for all.

Abreu Supports Safety Boosting Trash Containerization Replacing Parking▸New York City will cut 150,000 free parking spots for trash containers. The pilot starts in West Harlem this fall. The plan clears sidewalks, targets rats, and reclaims space for people. Council member Abreu and advocates back the move. Change is coming.

The program, starting fall 2023 in West Harlem, covers up to 10 residential blocks and 14 public schools. The DSNY report, with McKinsey input, finds containerization viable for most neighborhoods. The matter aims to 'remove garbage bags from sidewalks' and address public health.
