Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 101?
No One Is Safe Until the Streets Are Safe
Precinct 101: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
A woman steps off the curb. A car does not stop. In Precinct 101, seven people have died on the roads since 2022. Five more suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. In the last twelve months alone, one person was killed and three were seriously hurt. 208 others were injured—each one a life changed, a family shaken. See the collision data.
Children are not spared. 29 kids were hurt in crashes this year. The old are not spared. The numbers do not care who you are.
The Machines That Maim
Cars and SUVs killed four. Trucks and buses killed one. Motorcycles left one dead and one with life-altering wounds. Even a bike sent someone to the hospital. The street does not forgive. The machines are heavy, and the bodies are soft.
Leadership: Action or Excuse?
The city talks of Vision Zero. The state passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York City lower speed limits. But in Precinct 101, the carnage continues. The police have the power to enforce speed limits, to ticket reckless drivers, to stand at the corners where people die. They have the power to act. Every day they wait, the toll grows.
What Comes Next
Precinct 101 can do more. Speeding tickets. Failure-to-yield enforcement. Crackdowns at crash hotspots. Local leaders can push for lower speed limits, more cameras, and safer street design.
But nothing changes unless you demand it.
Call to Action:
Contact your local council member, the mayor, and the precinct. Demand lower speed limits. Demand enforcement. Demand streets where a child can cross without fear.
