This year through today: 288 crashes, 171 injuries, 2 deaths. Same stretch last year: 339 crashes, 204 injuries, 1 death. Period stats NYC Open Data

Corners we already know by name

JEWETT AVENUE has seen 2 deaths and 24 injuries. CLOVE ROAD shows 1 death and 77 injuries. FOREST AVENUE logs 77 injuries. These are the same streets neighbors cross to reach a bus stop or a bodega. NYC Open Data

Practical fixes are not mysteries: daylight corners so drivers can see people before they turn; harden turns to force slow speeds; give walkers a head start at signals; narrow wide lanes where speeding is easy. Target enforcement where distraction and failure to yield keep showing up. NYC Open Data

The record in Albany tells its own story

The Senate took up the speed-limiter bill for repeat violators this summer. State Senator Andrew Lanza voted yes in committee on Jun 11, then voted no the next day. Open States

On school speed zones, Lanza voted no. Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo also voted no. Assembly Member Charles Fall voted yes. Votes

““The United States is really falling behind in terms of improving crash safety outcomes on roads for drivers, vulnerable road users — all road users, really,”” Assembly Member Fall said this summer. Streetsblog USA

Slow down the cars; stop the worst repeat offenders

  • Lowering speed limits saves lives. City data show traffic deaths fell in 2025 as the city expanded safety work and enforcement. AMNY
  • Mandating intelligent speed assistance for habitual speeders is on the table in Albany. The bill is S 4045. Open States

These are choices. Make them here, at JEWETT, at CLOVE, on FOREST. Act before another 5 PM turns into sirens.

Fall Supports Safety‑Boosting Secure Bike Locker Deployment

Dec 1 - The city picked Tranzito to install 500 street-side bike lockers after years of delay. A five-year contract starts in May. Lockers will use an app and may offer e-bike charging. Implementation and oversight shift to the next mayor.

Bill number: n/a. Status: vendor selected; procurement announced 2025-12-01. Committee: n/a. The report is titled "Adams Administration Picks Vendor for Bike Lockers After Years-Long Wait." DOT chose California-based Tranzito to roll out 500 lockers under a five-year contract starting in May. No council members are named. Kevin Duggan is listed in the dataset but no council action appears. Mayor Adams claimed credit and advocates said the program was stalled. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will inherit implementation. Safety note: This describes a political credit claim and leadership transition without specific policy details affecting streets, mode share, or enforcement. No clear population-level impact on pedestrians or cyclists can be inferred.

Fall Demands Safety‑Boosting End‑to‑End Pedestrian Experience

Nov 26 - DOT plans an $89M revamp of the 1.3-mile Paseo Park. Two designs split plazas and traffic in different ways. Bike lanes move to the median and surfaces are flattened. Moped and traffic-routing details remain unresolved as DOT gathers feedback.

""the current proposals still fall short of delivering the end-to-end, pedestrian-first experience our community deserves,"" -- Charles Fall

Bill number: none — this is a DOT project. Status: under DOT consideration as of 2025-11-26. Committee: not applicable. Key dates: article published 2025-11-26; DOT is collecting feedback through Nov. 30 and will unveil a preliminary design next year. Matter title quoted: "The DOT is contemplating two options for the 1.3 mile-long linear park in Jackson Heights." DOT offered two options. Jim Burke, co-founder of the 34th Avenue Open Streets Coalition, favors Option 2, calling it "Meander" and saying it "preserves the real beauty of what we have now." Luz Maria Mercado, board chair of the Alliance for Paseo Park, says neither option properly addresses moped users and calls for a dedicated micro-mobility lane. Safety note: The description lacks specifics on design, traffic changes, and access, making population-level safety impacts unclear; a linear park could improve safety if it reallocates space from cars, but details are needed.

Fall Backs Safety‑Boosting Get Sheds Down Program

Nov 20 - Get Sheds Down swaps clunky scaffolds for six lighter shed designs and steps up fines. Hundreds of long-stayed sheds removed. Pedestrian space may return. Population-level safety effects remain unclear due to missing specifics.

This is an article, not a council bill. No bill number, no committee, and no vote are listed. Christopher Bonanos published "How Nice Should a Sidewalk Shed Be?" on 2025-11-20 for New York Magazine - Curbed. The piece describes Mayor Eric Adams' Get Sheds Down program, six new designs (Flex, Air, Rigid, Baseline, Wide Baseline, Speed), escalating fines up to $6,000/month for overstays, laws signed this spring that take effect in January, and the Department of Buildings removing 429 long-overstayed sheds. No council members or votes are cited. The record lacks specifics about how redesigns change street safety, mode shift, or driver behavior; without those details the population-level safety impact cannot be determined.
