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.
