Mosholu, 2 AM
New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 17, 2025
Just after 2 AM on Sep 7, a 30-year-old man walking on Mosholu Parkway was hit by the driver of a 2024 Toyota sedan going straight. Police recorded driver inattention by the driver. He died at the scene. NYC Open Data.
This Week
- About midday on Aug 31, at 30 St and 39 Ave, the driver of an SUV turned right and hit a 38-year-old woman in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. She died. NYC Open Data.
- Before dawn on Aug 30, at York Ave and E 72 St, a taxi driver going straight hit a person walking outside an intersection. He died. NYC Open Data.
The toll keeps climbing
Since Jan 1, 2022, 1,123 people have been killed and 197,257 injured on city streets. NYC Open Data.
This year, crashes are down 12.6% compared to last year to date, and deaths are down 7.4%. Serious injuries are up 3.4%. NYC Open Data.
Who is doing the harm
Drivers of sedans have killed 98 people walking in this period; drivers of SUVs have killed 205. NYC Open Data.
In Queens this month, a prosecutor put it plain: “Suspect in deadly DWI crash sexually harassed teen before intentionally striking her with SUV, Queens DA says.” CBS New York.
The fixes are known
Speeding is a choice. Cameras curb it. “Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed.” NYS Senate.
Two steps sit in front of city and state leaders:
- Use Sammy’s Law to lower the default city speed limit.
- Pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for habitual offenders.
We do not need another night like Mosholu. Ask City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.

Eric Adams Champions Safety‑Boosting Greater Greenways Expansion▸Aug 13 - City rolls out Greater Greenways. Forty miles of new bike and walking paths. Cyclists and pedestrians get space. Cars lose ground. Safer routes cut through parks and waterfronts. Crash risk falls.
"Public spaces create vibrant spaces where New Yorkers can move, play, and thrive, and our administration is committed to increasing access to public spaces like parks and waterfronts for every New Yorker." -- Eric Adams
On August 13, 2025, the Adams administration announced the Greater Greenways plan. The city aims to 'dramatically expand the network of bike and pedestrian pathways through natural spaces and waterfronts around the Five Boroughs.' DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez and Mayor Eric Adams led the push. No council bill number or committee is listed. The plan promises over 40 miles of new greenways, connecting neighborhoods and parks. Safety analysts note: expanding dedicated bike and pedestrian pathways separates vulnerable users from traffic, slashing crash risk and encouraging more people to walk or bike. The city signals a shift—more space for people, less for cars.

Adams Supports Misguided Delivery Worker Registration Plan▸Aug 9 - City targets delivery companies. New rules demand registration, worker IDs, safety gear. Reflective vests, tracking, and penalties loom. Systemic street danger remains. Burden shifts to workers.
"Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone from delivery workers to pedestrians to cyclists to drivers." -- Eric Adams
On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear. Adams said, 'Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone.' The rules demand reflective vests and reporting of vehicle types. Critics warn of risks to undocumented workers. A safety analyst notes: while training and gear may help individuals, the policy fails to address systemic traffic dangers and shifts responsibility onto vulnerable workers instead of drivers or city infrastructure.

"Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone from delivery workers to pedestrians to cyclists to drivers." -- Eric Adams
On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear.

Critics warn of risks to undocumented workers. A safety analyst notes: while training and gear may help individuals, the policy fails to address systemic traffic dangers and shifts responsibility onto vulnerable workers instead of drivers or city infrastructure.

Adams Supports Misguided Delivery Worker Registration Plan▸Aug 9 - City targets delivery companies. New rules demand registration, worker IDs, safety gear. Reflective vests, tracking, and penalties loom. Systemic street danger remains. Burden shifts to workers.
"Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone from delivery workers to pedestrians to cyclists to drivers." -- Eric Adams
On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear. Adams said, 'Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone.' The rules demand reflective vests and reporting of vehicle types. Critics warn of risks to undocumented workers. A safety analyst notes: while training and gear may help individuals, the policy fails to address systemic traffic dangers and shifts responsibility onto vulnerable workers instead of drivers or city infrastructure.

Aug 12 - Mayor Adams moves to veto Intro 1135. Instacart boasts profits from squeezing workers. Delivery riders face low pay and harsh streets. Council backs workers, but veto blocks fair wages.
""The company’s claim that it cannot afford living wages is a business decision, not a necessity. The real solution lies in reducing exorbitant app commissions, improving transparency and efficiency, and offering subsidies for low-income families — not sacrificing workers’ livelihoods. Mayor Adams should stand with workers and reject corporate excuses."" -- Eric Adams
Intro 1135, a bill to mandate minimum wage for grocery delivery workers, faces a mayoral veto as of August 12, 2025. The City Council passed the bill with a veto-proof majority. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and others support it. Instacart lobbied hard against the bill, bragging to shareholders about boosting profits by cutting worker pay. The bill's matter: 'pay parity for grocery delivery workers.' Olivia Bensimon reported the story. The safety analyst notes this event concerns labor policy, not direct street safety or conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

Adams Supports Misguided Delivery Worker Registration Plan▸Aug 9 - City targets delivery companies. New rules demand registration, worker IDs, safety gear. Reflective vests, tracking, and penalties loom. Systemic street danger remains. Burden shifts to workers.
"Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone from delivery workers to pedestrians to cyclists to drivers." -- Eric Adams
On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear.

Adams Supports Misguided Delivery Worker Registration Plan▸Aug 9 - City targets delivery companies. New rules demand registration, worker IDs, safety gear. Reflective vests, tracking, and penalties loom. Systemic street danger remains. Burden shifts to workers.
"Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone from delivery workers to pedestrians to cyclists to drivers." -- Eric Adams
On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear. Adams said, 'Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone.' The rules demand reflective vests and reporting of vehicle types. Critics warn of risks to undocumented workers. A safety analyst notes: while training and gear may help individuals, the policy fails to address systemic traffic dangers and shifts responsibility onto vulnerable workers instead of drivers or city infrastructure.

On August 9, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez proposed new rules for app-based delivery companies. The plan, now open for public comment, would require companies to register with DOT, assign unique ID cards to workers, and provide mandatory safety training and gear. Adams said, 'Our administration is committed to creating safer, more sustainable streets for everyone.' The rules demand reflective vests and reporting of vehicle types. Critics warn of risks to undocumented workers. A safety analyst notes: while training and gear may help individuals, the policy fails to address systemic traffic dangers and shifts responsibility onto vulnerable workers instead of drivers or city infrastructure.
