Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 19?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 19 School Zones

(since 2022)
Park and 63rd: a man dies, and the pattern holds

Park and 63rd: a man dies, and the pattern holds

Precinct 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 29, 2025

Oct 24, 2025, on Park Avenue at E 63rd Street: a driver making a left turned into a 28-year-old man who was crossing with the signal. He died at the scene, police recorded driver distraction as a factor (NYC Open Data).

This was one life in Precinct 19’s toll since 2022: 19 people killed and 2,193 hurt in traffic crashes, including people walking and on bikes (NYC Open Data). Eleven of the dead were pedestrians; two were cyclists. Cars and SUVs account for most of the harm to people on foot (NYC Open Data).

This Week on the Upper East Side

  • Oct 22, at 3rd Avenue and E 63rd Street, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit an 18-year-old woman in the crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 19, at E 61st Street and 2nd Avenue, a driver’s inattention put a man on a bike on the pavement (NYC Open Data).

Same corners. Same hours.

Police list FDR Drive and 2nd Avenue as top danger spots in this precinct, each with three deaths on the books since 2022 (NYC Open Data).

The clock tells a story too. Around the evening rush, just after 5 PM, three people were killed; at 6 PM and at 5 AM, two more each. These are police tallies for this precinct across the covered years (NYC Open Data).

The recurring mistakes

Police reports in this precinct show what keeps breaking bodies: drivers failing to yield (1 death, 22 injuries) and distraction behind the wheel (1 death, 57 injuries) since 2022. Each number is a person hit in a crosswalk or a lane, not an error bar (NYC Open Data).

Year to date, six people have been killed in crashes here, compared with three at this point last year. The count comes from the same city dataset and the same map lines (NYC Open Data).

What Precinct 19 and City Hall can do now

Start at the corners that keep taking lives. Harden turns on 2nd Avenue. Daylight crosswalks on York and Park. Give leading walk signals at E 63rd and neighboring crossings. Target failure-to-yield and distraction at the evening rush where deaths cluster. These are standard fixes tied to the factors and places police already recorded.

Then scale what works citywide. Lower speeds save lives. The city now has the power to set safer limits and is already lowering them in places; the point is to give people walking a chance to survive a mistake (NYC DOT statement via context).

And stop the worst repeat offenders. A state bill in play would force drivers with heavy point totals or dozens of camera tickets to use speed limiters. The proposal is the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C); it would keep the next fast car from turning a crosswalk into a morgue (CrashCount Take Action).

Your representatives here are Council Member Keith Powers, Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs, and State Senator Liz Krueger. The record we have does not show where they stand on the speed‑limiter bill.

A man died at Park and 63rd. The next person is already waiting for the light. If you want this to change, act.

Take one step: tell City Hall and Albany to slow our streets and rein in repeat speeders.
