Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Harlem (South)?
Harlem Bleeds: Streets Still Waiting for Action
Harlem (South): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Harlem (South)
A man steps off the curb. A cyclist rides home. A child crosses the street. In Harlem (South), the street does not forgive. One person killed. Nine left with serious injuries. In three and a half years, 1,157 crashes. 598 people hurt.
The numbers do not bleed, but people do. Pedestrians, cyclists, children. In the last year alone, two suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. Five children hurt. The oldest victim: 75. The youngest: under 18. No one is spared.
Who Bears the Brunt
Cars and SUVs strike most often. They account for the bulk of injuries and serious harm. SUVs and sedans left 33 with moderate injuries, two with life-changing wounds. Trucks and buses hit three. Motorcycles and mopeds, two. Bikes, too, are not blameless. Two moderate injuries, none fatal. But the weight of steel and speed falls heaviest from behind a wheel.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city talks of Vision Zero. They tout new laws, like Sammy’s Law, letting New York set its own speed limits. But in Harlem (South), the pace of change is slow. No new protected bike lanes. No major redesigns. The council and community board have not forced the issue. The silence is loud. Each day without action is another day of risk.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. Lower the speed limit. Build real protection for walkers and riders. Enforce the laws that matter. Call your council member. Demand action. Every day of delay is another day someone does not come home.
Do not wait for another name to join the list. Take action now.

Senate passes S 2714. Bill pushes complete street design. Aim: safer roads for all. Pedestrians, cyclists, and riders get space. Car dominance challenged. Lawmakers move to cut street carnage.
Senate bill S 2714, titled 'Enables safe access to public roads for all users by utilizing complete street design principles,' advanced through committee and passed several Senate votes, most recently on March 27, 2024. Sponsored by Timothy M. Kennedy with support from Jake Ashby, Jamaal Bailey, and others, the bill mandates street designs that protect everyone—not just drivers. The measure saw strong support but faced opposition from some senators. By requiring complete street principles, S 2714 aims to reduce danger for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users. The bill marks a shift away from car-first planning, forcing cities to build streets for people, not just traffic.
