Four dead in a week. The pattern doesn’t quit.
New York City: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 4, 2025
Just before dusk on Oct 27, 108 St at 38 Ave. A 26‑year‑old on an e‑bike went down and never got up (NYC Open Data).
This Month
- Oct 24, Park Ave at E 63 St: a driver making a left hit a 28‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 23, W 86 St at Columbus Ave: an 83‑year‑old man in a marked crosswalk was hit by a bus driver going straight (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 22, 130 St at 90 Ave: a driver going straight hit a 55‑year‑old man outside an intersection (NYC Open Data).
The count doesn’t stop
He was one of 1,166 people killed on New York City streets since 2022, with 205,690 injured in that span (NYC Open Data). This year, citywide deaths stand at 242, compared to 254 at this point last year (NYC Open Data). Fewer funerals than last year is not the same as safety.
A small group does outsized harm
A tiny slice of motorists drives a big share of the grief. Researchers found that 1.5% of drivers are tied to 21% of pedestrian deaths. Rack up 16 camera tickets in a year and the risk of killing or seriously injuring doubles; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold (Streetsblog). In April, a driver with 29 prior camera tickets ran a red and killed a mother and her two daughters in Midwood (NY Daily News).
Power sits on the table
Albany passed Sammy’s Law. New York City now has the power to set safer speed limits on local streets. The city can choose 20 MPH for residential streets. It hasn’t done it citywide (CrashCount Take Action).
There’s also a bill built for the worst repeat offenders: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C). It would force anyone with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to use a speed‑limiting device, capped within 5 MPH of the limit (CrashCount Take Action).
What now
Lower speeds save lives. Curb the worst repeat offenders and the killings fall with them. City Hall and Albany have levers in hand. Pull them.
Take one step today. Tell your electeds to lower the default speed and pass speed limiters for habitual offenders. Start here.

Zohran Mamdani Backs Safety-Boosting E-Bike Algorithm Regulation▸Sep 22 - Zohran Mamdani urges regulating delivery‑app algorithms, not riders. He says stripping perverse delivery‑time incentives will curb risky e‑bike riding, protect pedestrians and cyclists, and support e‑bikes without criminalizing delivery workers.
This is a policy position dated 2025-09-22. No bill number is listed and no committee is named. The piece quotes the matter title: "Zohran Mamdani On E-Bike Safety: Regulate App Algorithms, Not Workers." Zohran Mamdani is named and presented in support — he backs regulation of delivery-app algorithms rather than policing riders. The safety analyst notes that shifting regulation from workers to app algorithms can remove perverse delivery-time incentives that drive risky riding, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and that supporting e-bikes encourages mode shift and safety-in-numbers without criminalizing vulnerable workers.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records. Mayor Eric Adams is noted as defending the awards. Awarding routes to firms with poor safety records likely increases exposure to high‑risk heavy trucks, raising crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It also weakens incentives for safer operations and undermines safety and equity in the neighborhoods served.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records. Mayor Eric Adams is noted as defending the awards. Awarding routes to firms with poor safety records likely increases exposure to high‑risk heavy trucks, raising crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records. Mayor Eric Adams is noted as defending the awards. Awarding routes to firms with poor safety records likely increases exposure to high‑risk heavy trucks, raising crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It also weakens incentives for safer operations and undermines safety and equity in the neighborhoods served.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records. Mayor Eric Adams is noted as defending the awards. Awarding routes to firms with poor safety records likely increases exposure to high‑risk heavy trucks, raising crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It also weakens incentives for safer operations and undermines safety and equity in the neighborhoods served.

Adams Defends Harmful Route Awards To Unsafe Firms▸Sep 18 - An audit found the city awarded garbage routes to firms with poor safety records. More heavy trucks. Greater exposure. Raised crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It weakens safety incentives and deepens inequity in affected neighborhoods.
This is an audit, not legislation. Published Sept. 18, 2025 by Kevin Duggan. Matter titled "City Gave Garbage Routes To Companies With Bad Safety Records: Audit." No bill number, no committee referral, and no council votes or sponsorships. The report documents contracts awarded to firms with the worst safety records. Mayor Eric Adams is noted as defending the awards. Awarding routes to firms with poor safety records likely increases exposure to high‑risk heavy trucks, raising crash and fatality risk for pedestrians and cyclists. It also weakens incentives for safer operations and undermines safety and equity in the neighborhoods served.
