Corners that keep breaking people
Northern Boulevard leads the injury count in this precinct, with 174 injuries and 6 serious injuries recorded. Source.
The Grand Central Parkway shows the worst of it: 2 deaths and 210 injuries. Source.
Police cite failure to yield, distraction, and disregarding signals across recent crashes, including the ones on Oct 16 and Oct 14. Sources.
Local fixes are not abstract. Daylight the corners so drivers can see people before turning. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened right‑turns at the hotspots. Target truck routes for enforcement where walkers cross.
What leaders owe this precinct
Assembly Member Jessica González‑Rojas, State Sen. Toby Stavisky, and Council Member Tiffany Cabán represent this area.
Citywide tools exist. NYC can lower speeds under Sammy’s Law. Advocates are calling for a 20 MPH default on local streets. The Legislature has the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) on the table; it would require drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to use speed limiters. Details and actions here.
This precinct’s map tells a simple story: people on foot and on bikes meet turning cars and trucks at the same corners, at the same hours. The next person at Vernon and 9 St should not have to be the next vignette. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
