Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 22?
Central Park: The Violence No One Stops
Precinct 22: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 19, 2025
The Toll: Lives Changed, Lives Lost
In Precinct 22, violence comes slow but steady. Since 2022, 2 people have died and 6 have been seriously injured on these streets. 230 more have been hurt. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do.
Just last month, a cyclist was killed on the 97th Street Transverse. He was 43. The crash report lists only the facts: head injury, ejected, dead. No story, no name. Only the end. NYC Open Data
A pedestrian was struck by a bike at Central Park West and 85th. She suffered severe head wounds. The cause: failure to yield, unsafe speed. She was crossing with the signal. The bike kept going. NYC Open Data
In Central Park, the violence hides in plain sight. Janet Schroeder said, “Ninety percent of their crashes have no police report and in 90 percent of these crashes over 90 percent the rider flees the scene.”
The System Fails the Vulnerable
The city counts the dead. It loses track of the wounded. “They do have correct stats on those killed but completely skewed stats on those injured,” Schroeder said.
The police have the tools. They can ticket speeders, stop reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. But the record shows too many crashes, too little follow-up. In the park, enforcement is rare. The violence is not.
Leadership: Action and Silence
The city has lowered speed limits and expanded speed cameras. But in this precinct, the carnage continues. Local leaders have the power to demand more enforcement, more daylighting, more protection for those on foot and bike. They can push for real change, not just numbers on a page.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Every day without enforcement is another day someone does not come home. The slow disaster will not stop until you make it stop. Take action
