Harlem (North): Streets That Take
Harlem (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
The toll on these blocks
On July 11, 2024, an SUV turned left at West 135th and Lenox. A mother was crossing with the signal. Her 3‑year‑old daughter was killed.
On January 29, 2025, a bus and an e‑bike met at Lenox and West 138th. The cyclist died.
On July 6, 2025, Harlem River Drive near 159–170 saw another crash. A 26‑year‑old passenger had severe bleeding; the driver was hurt too. These are not outliers here. Since 2022, 4 people have been killed and 1,104 injured on the streets of Harlem (North). Twenty‑eight suffered serious injuries. Nights cut deep: 8 p.m. is the worst hour, with 82 injuries; deaths also land around midnight and 7 p.m.
Hot spots repeat. 8th Avenue tops the list for injuries. West 138th Street marks a death.
Leaders speak. The pavement answers back.
After two people were killed at Canal and Bowery, the city promised quick work. “We are taking immediate steps to fortify this intersection,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. An advocate kept the scale in view: “Canal Street is only as safe as its most dangerous block,” said Ben Furnas.
Up the West Side, the city rolled out paid curb parking overnight. The agency’s line was blunt: “Demand for curb space in the city is increasing, from trash collection and bike lanes to truck loading and parking,” the DOT said.
What electeds have done—and what’s left
In Albany, State Senator Cordell Cleare backed a bill to require speed limiters for repeat violators; she co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045. In the Assembly, Al Taylor co‑sponsored the companion A 2299.
Here, the harm is plain. SUVs and cars injured most pedestrians: 190, including 1 death. Trucks and buses added 19 more. Bikes and small motorized riders injured fewer, but crashes keep stacking.
Fix what we can see
At 8th Avenue and other corners, cut blind spots with daylighting and hardened turns. Give people a head start with leading pedestrian intervals. On Harlem River Drive, target the dark hours with night enforcement and lighting upgrades.
Citywide, lower speeds save lives. Push for a lower default speed limit. Back the speed‑limiter bills until passage and rollout.
Do one thing now
Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Use our take action page. Do not wait for the next siren.
