About these crash totals
Counts come from NYC police crash reports (NYC Open Data). We sum all crashes, injuries, and deaths for this area across the selected time window shown on the card. Injury severity follows the official definitions in the NYPD dataset.
- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

About this chart
We group pedestrian injuries and deaths by the vehicle type that struck them (as recorded in police reports). Use the dropdown to view totals, serious injuries, or deaths.
- Trucks/Buses, SUVs/Cars, Mopeds, and Bikes reflect the reporting categories in the crash dataset.
- Counts include people on foot only; crashes with no injured pedestrians are not shown here.
Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.
CloseCooper and 82nd: a bike hits the street, the count keeps rising
Glendale: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 14, 2025
Just after 1 PM on Sep 27, 2025, at Cooper Avenue and 82nd Street, a person on a bike was hurt. Police records list the crash as involving a bike and an SUV, with the SUV recorded as parked (NYC Open Data).
The count in this neighborhood
Since Jan 1, 2022, Glendale has seen 1 death, 583 injuries, and 1,119 crashes. Five were recorded as serious injuries (NYC Open Data). People walking were hurt 73 times. People on bikes were hurt 64 times. No pedestrian or cyclist deaths are in the local rollup; the single death was a motor vehicle occupant (NYC Open Data).
The pain clusters in daylight. Injuries peak in the afternoon, especially around 3 PM to 5 PM (NYC Open Data). Police most often record named factors like failure to yield and inattention/distraction among the causes locally, alongside many entries marked as “unspecified” in the raw data (NYC Open Data).
Hot corners, same story
Myrtle Avenue leads the harm list here, with the most injuries in the neighborhood dataset, followed by Metropolitan Avenue. Cooper Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard also rank high for crash injuries (NYC Open Data).
This is where people get hit: crosswalks starved of daylight, turns taken into people, long straight runs with speed. The local data’s top hours and corridors point to concrete fixes:
- Daylighting corners and hardening turns at Myrtle, Metropolitan, and Cooper.
- Leading pedestrian intervals at signals where turning drivers hit people.
- Calming long straight segments and directing trucks away from tight residential blocks.
- Targeted afternoon enforcement where injuries spike.
The levers are on the dais
City Hall has the tools. Albany gave New York City the power to drop speeds. Our own Council Member, Joann Ariola, co‑sponsored a bill to strip bus‑ and bike‑lane benchmarks from the Streets Master Plan (NYC Council – Legistar). Removing those benchmarks would mean fewer protected lanes on streets where people keep getting hurt.
On daylighting, a proven safety step, one report became a shield. “Pro‑car politicians like Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden, and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella have cited the DOT’s report to oppose the bill, prioritizing parking over safety,” Streetsblog reported.
In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders bill would force repeat speeders to install speed‑limiters after a pattern of violations. It advanced in 2025 with local State Senator Joe Addabbo voting yes in committee (Open States). The bill requires intelligent speed assistance for drivers with 11 or more DMV points in 24 months, or six camera tickets in a year (Open States).
This Month
- Sep 27: A cyclist was injured at Cooper Ave and 82 St; police recorded the crash as Bike/SUV, with the SUV parked (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 14: A 19‑year‑old passenger was hurt near 89‑29 Metropolitan Ave; police noted distraction in the records (NYC Open Data).
What has to happen now
The corners are telling us what to do. Slow the cars. Fix the turns. Clear the sightlines. Protect the lanes. Make the worst drivers stop speeding.
Albany can finish the job by passing the speed‑limiter bill. City Hall can keep lowering speeds and build the protections we count on every day.
One person on a bike went down on Cooper and 82nd in the early afternoon. Do not wait for the next one. Ask your leaders to move /take_action/.

It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

Council Member Robert F. Holden is the primary sponsor. Joann Ariola and Vickie Paladino are co-sponsors. The draft repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes explicit benchmarks tied to transit signal priority, bus stop upgrades, accessible pedestrian signals and intersection redesigns. Removing those benchmarks weakens commitments to high‑quality separated infrastructure and measurable mode‑shift targets, likely slowing deployment of safe space for pedestrians and cyclists and undermining equitable street redesigns.

It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

Ariola co-sponsors bill to remove bus and bike lane benchmarks, no safety impact.▸Aug 14 - Int 1362 strips definitions for protected bus and bike lanes and removes benchmarks from the streets master plan. It guts measurable targets. Safe space for pedestrians and cyclists is at risk. The city could slow needed separated infrastructure.
Bill: Int. No. 1362 (Int 1362-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Event date: 2025-08-14. The matter reads: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto." Council Member Robert F. Holden is the primary sponsor. Joann Ariola and Vickie Paladino are co-sponsors. The draft repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes explicit benchmarks tied to transit signal priority, bus stop upgrades, accessible pedestrian signals and intersection redesigns. Removing those benchmarks weakens commitments to high‑quality separated infrastructure and measurable mode‑shift targets, likely slowing deployment of safe space for pedestrians and cyclists and undermining equitable street redesigns.
