The toll in this precinct
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 17 there have been 2,999 crashes, leaving 1,851 people injured and 6 people dead. NYC Open Data
People walking bear much of it: 4 pedestrians killed and 404 injured. People on bikes: 1 killed and 415 injured. NYC Open Data

Corners that keep hurting people
The records flag 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, and the FDR Drive as recurring trouble. NYC Open Data
At East 37th Street and 2nd Avenue in Apr 2022, an 82‑year‑old man was crossing with the signal when a bus driver turned left and killed him. Police recorded driver inattention and failure to yield. NYC Open Data
Last week’s Midtown Tunnel exit case is the same story: an older pedestrian, a legal crossing, and a professional driver. She lived. She was hurt. NYC Open Data
Why this keeps happening—and how to stop it
Police reports cite named, fixable behaviors: driver inattention, failure to yield, and unsafe speed. Those three repeat across the precinct. NYC Open Data
On the ground, the fixes are not exotic:
- Hardened left turns and leading pedestrian intervals on 1st and 2nd Avenues at East 34th–41st Streets.
- Daylighting and tighter geometry at tunnel exits and bridge approaches.
- Targeted yielding enforcement for buses and large vehicles at the problem corners.
Citywide levers that save lives
A small pool of drivers does outsized harm. City data show that vehicles with 16 camera tickets in 12 months are far more likely to kill or seriously injure; the risk explodes past 30 tickets. The state’s proposed Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require those repeat offenders to use speed limiters. Streetsblog NYC
New York City now has the power to set safer default speeds. Lowering residential limits to 20 MPH is the next step. Our own guide explains both moves and how to press for them. /take_action/
Who must act now
This precinct sits in Council District District 4, Assembly District AD 73, and State Senate District SD 28. The Stop Super Speeders bill needs backing in Albany. The 20 MPH default needs action at City Hall. Will Council Member Keith Powers, Assembly Member Alex Bores, and State Senator Liz Krueger move them?
A man killed in a crosswalk with the light. An older woman thrown down near 57th. A cyclist on the pavement at 2nd and 35th. The steps are on the table. /take_action/
