Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Harlem (North)?
Harlem’s Streets Bleed—It’s Time to End the Killing Field
Harlem (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 10, 2025
The Toll in Harlem (North)
A child’s shoe in the crosswalk. Blood on the curb. In the last twelve months, two people died and nine were seriously injured on the streets of Harlem (North). Another 261 were hurt. The dead include a three-year-old girl, struck by an SUV while crossing with the signal at Lenox and 135th. Her mother survived, injured and alone. The SUV was making a left turn. The girl was crossing with the light. The driver kept his license. The girl lost her life. NYC Open Data
A 59-year-old man on a bike was killed by a bus at Lenox and 138th. He was crushed. The bus kept going straight. The cyclist did not. NYC Open Data
Most victims are not in cars. They are walking. They are riding. They are children, elders, workers. They are not protected by steel or speed.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Council Member Yusef Salaam has voted for laws to legalize jaywalking, co-sponsored bills for more protected bike lanes, and pushed for speed humps and safer crossings. He voted yes to let pedestrians cross where they need to, ending the city’s war on so-called jaywalkers. The law’s aim: streets for people, not just cars. The law requires the Department of Transportation to educate all road users about these new rights.
Salaam also co-sponsored a bill to force the city to build 100 miles of protected bike lanes each year. The bill’s summary is plain: protected lanes increase cycling and ensure the safety of New Yorkers.
But the danger does not wait for new paint. SUVs and cars still do the most harm. In this region, they killed one, seriously injured four, and hurt 166 more. Trucks and buses killed one and injured 18. Bikes and mopeds injured eight and five, but killed no one. NYC Open Data
The Disaster Is Slow, But It Is Not Fate
Every crash is a choice made upstream. Streets built for speed. Laws that let repeat speeders keep driving. These are not accidents.
Protected lanes increase cycling and ensure the safety of New Yorkers.
The law requires the Department of Transportation to educate all road users about these new rights.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected bike lanes. Demand action, not delay.
Every day you wait, someone else pays.
