Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in East Harlem (North)?
No More Bodies in the Road: Lower the Speed, Save a Life
East Harlem (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Bodies in the Road
A man, age 53, crushed by a truck on East 125th. Another, age 62, struck by an SUV at 3rd Avenue and 122nd. A 66-year-old, dead on 5th Avenue. A woman, 32, killed by an SUV on Harlem River Drive. Five people killed in East Harlem (North) since 2022. Their names are not in the data. Their absence is.
In the last twelve months, 396 people were injured and 3 suffered serious injuries in 717 crashes. Two did not survive. The numbers do not soften. They do not explain. They only count the bodies left behind. NYC Open Data
The Machines That Kill
Cars and SUVs did most of the damage. Four deaths came from SUVs or cars. Trucks and buses killed one. Bikes caused injuries, but not deaths. The street is a field of broken bodies: 1,330 injuries, 16 serious, five dead in three years. The numbers do not care if you are young or old. Under 18, over 75, it makes no difference.
Promises and Power
The city has the power to lower speed limits. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The Council and Mayor can set 20 mph on local streets. They have not done it yet. Speed cameras work, but need Albany to keep them running. The law is set to expire. Every day of delay is another risk.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city built more crosswalks, added bike lanes, and made some intersections safer. But the deaths keep coming. No law, no design, no camera brings back the dead. The only thing that matters is action now. Not next year. Not after another child is hit.
What You Can Do
Call your Council Member. Call the Mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras stay on. Do not wait for another body in the road. Take action now.

Adams’s Fifth Avenue plan drops bike and bus lanes. Cyclists and walkers left exposed. Sidewalks widen, but cars keep space. Board calls for real safety, not delay.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-14) reports Mayor Adams cut a bus lane and bike lane from the Fifth Avenue redesign, keeping two lanes for cars and widening sidewalks. The Manhattan Community Board 5 called this move not a "real solution" to safety, urging a return to the 2021 plan with protected bike lanes and faster bus service. "We want a real solution to the bike and pedestrian safety issue," said CB 5 Vice Chair Samir Lavingia. The board warns that without bike lanes, cyclists will ride sidewalks, risking conflict. The plan, shaped with business interests, leaves vulnerable road users exposed and delays safer changes until at least 2028.
