Belt Parkway at dawn. One man. Two drivers.
New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just before 6 AM on Sep 12, a man crossed the Belt Parkway near 146th Street. Two drivers hit him. He died there, in the dark. NYPD described the scene and the crossing point.
He was one of 1,127 people killed on New York City streets since Jan 1, 2022, by the city’s own crash database (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- On Mosholu Parkway, a driver in a 2024 Toyota sedan going straight hit and killed a 30-year-old man; police recorded driver inattention/distraction (NYC Open Data).
- At 30th Street and 39th Avenue, the driver of an SUV turned right and hit a 38-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
- At York Avenue and E 72nd Street, a taxi driver going straight hit and killed a man; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
The count does not stop
Year to date, 203 people have been killed in traffic across the city, compared with 215 in the same period last year, a 5.6% drop. The injuries keep coming by the tens of thousands (NYC Open Data).
Most people walking are hit by drivers of cars and SUVs. Police records show pedestrians killed or hurt again and again by those drivers across this period (NYC Open Data).
The worst drivers do outsized harm
A small group of drivers cause a large share of deaths. Vehicles that rack up camera tickets are far more likely to kill or maim. Researchers found that 1.5% of motorists are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths, and that vehicles with 16 camera tickets in a year are twice as likely to kill or seriously injure; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold (Streetsblog).
The city has tools. Albany renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, and New York City now has authority to lower its own limits. On our streets, lower speed means fewer funerals. The city can set a default 20 MPH on residential streets and use it (CrashCount: Take Action).
Use the power we have
The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force habitual speeders to install intelligent speed assistance that won’t let them blow past the limit. Our lawmakers can pass it. Our city can lower speeds now. As one official said about another strand of roadway danger, “police vehicle pursuits and high-speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change” (Times Union).
One man, before sunrise on the Belt. Three more in the days around it. Slower streets and checks on the worst repeat speeders would spare the next family. Start here: push the city to act.

Adams Refuses Hard BRT Decisions Harmful to Street Safety▸Jul 11 - Years pass. Bus speeds crawl. City dodges real bus rapid transit. Riders wait. Streets choke. Vulnerable users stuck with slow, crowded, unsafe options. Nothing changes. Safety stands still.
On July 11, 2025, Dave Colon spotlighted two reports slamming New York City’s failure to deliver real bus rapid transit. The reports state, 'Years of bus priority projects have barely improved speeds because New York City leaders have not implemented real bus rapid transit (BRT).' Colon, reporting for Streetsblog NYC, supports comprehensive BRT and opposes the city’s piecemeal fixes. Mayor Adams and city agencies have not acted on key recommendations. The safety analyst notes: the lack of real BRT means missed chances for mode shift and street equity, but does not directly worsen conditions for pedestrians and cyclists; the status quo remains unchanged.

On July 11, 2025, Dave Colon spotlighted two reports slamming New York City’s failure to deliver real bus rapid transit.

Colon, reporting for Streetsblog NYC, supports comprehensive BRT and opposes the city’s piecemeal fixes. Mayor Adams and city agencies have not acted on key recommendations.

Adams Refuses Hard BRT Decisions Harmful to Street Safety▸Jul 11 - Years pass. Bus speeds crawl. City dodges real bus rapid transit. Riders wait. Streets choke. Vulnerable users stuck with slow, crowded, unsafe options. Nothing changes. Safety stands still.
On July 11, 2025, Dave Colon spotlighted two reports slamming New York City’s failure to deliver real bus rapid transit. The reports state, 'Years of bus priority projects have barely improved speeds because New York City leaders have not implemented real bus rapid transit (BRT).' Colon, reporting for Streetsblog NYC, supports comprehensive BRT and opposes the city’s piecemeal fixes. Mayor Adams and city agencies have not acted on key recommendations. The safety analyst notes: the lack of real BRT means missed chances for mode shift and street equity, but does not directly worsen conditions for pedestrians and cyclists; the status quo remains unchanged.

Eric Adams Backs Misguided 15 MPH Citi Bike Cap▸Jul 11 - City slashes Citi Bike e-bike speed to 15 mph. Riders protest. They say it slows them down, puts them at risk, and makes streets more dangerous. The move cuts safety, not danger.
On July 11, 2025, Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered Citi Bike e-bikes capped at 15 mph, down from 18 mph. No council bill or committee is tied to this action. Riders call it 'a bad deal for riders and a potential threat to safety.' Jonah Schwarz and many others oppose the move. Safety analysts warn the cap may discourage cycling, reduce mode shift from cars, and weaken safety in numbers. The policy could make streets less safe for all vulnerable users.

Eric Adams Backs Misguided 15 MPH Citi Bike Cap▸Jul 11 - City slashes Citi Bike e-bike speed to 15 mph. Riders protest. They say it slows them down, puts them at risk, and makes streets more dangerous. The move cuts safety, not danger.
On July 11, 2025, Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered Citi Bike e-bikes capped at 15 mph, down from 18 mph. No council bill or committee is tied to this action. Riders call it 'a bad deal for riders and a potential threat to safety.' Jonah Schwarz and many others oppose the move. Safety analysts warn the cap may discourage cycling, reduce mode shift from cars, and weaken safety in numbers. The policy could make streets less safe for all vulnerable users.

The safety analyst notes: the lack of real BRT means missed chances for mode shift and street equity, but does not directly worsen conditions for pedestrians and cyclists; the status quo remains unchanged.

Since the redesign was halted, 96 crashes have injured 80 people. The Department of Transportation’s plan would have reduced lanes and added protections. Community Board 7 supported it, but the project stalled. The corridor remains deadly.

Jul 11 - City slashes Citi Bike e-bike speed to 15 mph. Riders protest. They say it slows them down, puts them at risk, and makes streets more dangerous. The move cuts safety, not danger.
On July 11, 2025, Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro ordered Citi Bike e-bikes capped at 15 mph, down from 18 mph. No council bill or committee is tied to this action. Riders call it 'a bad deal for riders and a potential threat to safety.' Jonah Schwarz and many others oppose the move. Safety analysts warn the cap may discourage cycling, reduce mode shift from cars, and weaken safety in numbers. The policy could make streets less safe for all vulnerable users.
