Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 28?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 28 School Zones

(since 2022)

Precinct 28: Afternoons Hurt Here

Precinct 28: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 22, 2025

On Nov 8, 2025, near W 116th Street, a driver in a Ford sedan hit a 77-year-old man in the roadway. Police recorded driver inattention and a limited view at the scene (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Oct 31: A driver changing lanes hit a 26-year-old on a bike near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 31: A driver going straight hit a 21-year-old woman crossing near W 125th Street (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 25: At W 123rd Street and Morningside Avenue, a northbound driver hit a 21-year-old in the crosswalk (NYC Open Data).

The count doesn’t stop

Since Jan 1, 2022, Precinct 28 has recorded 1,932 crashes, with 1,045 people injured and 2 deaths (NYC Open Data). In the past 12 months alone, the precinct logged 479 crashes, injuring 242 people (NYC Open Data).

The harm concentrates after school and work. Injuries spike around 3 PM (84) and 4 PM (88), and stay high into the evening (NYC Open Data). Police reports cite named driver behaviors you can fix: inattention/distraction (45 injuries), disregarded traffic control (19), failure to yield (16), and improper passing (10) in this precinct’s crashes since 2022 (NYC Open Data).

125th Street keeps bleeding

The worst pain lines up on the big corridors. West 125th Street accounts for 82 injuries, and Saint Nicholas Avenue shows repeated serious harm (two serious injuries recorded) (NYC Open Data). A 15-year-old on a bike suffered a serious head injury at 125th on Sept 11, 2025 (NYC Open Data).

Crosswalks aren’t safe enough. On Oct 25 at W 123rd and Morningside, the driver was going straight; police noted the pedestrian crossing against the signal. The person still left with a fractured leg (NYC Open Data).

Make the corners forgive mistakes

This is fixable at street level. Daylight the corners on West 125th and Saint Nicholas. Add longer leading pedestrian intervals. Harden turns where drivers keep cutting people down. Target enforcement for failure to yield and distracted driving in the afternoon surge. All of this aligns with what the crash forms say and where they say it (NYC Open Data).

Stop the fast ones before they hit you

Precinct 28 can only hold the line so long on its corners. City Hall and Albany control the throttle. Two steps stand out and can be done:

  • Lower speeds citywide using the authority described in our action guide. Slower impact speeds spare lives.
  • Fit chronic violators with speed limiters under the proposed Stop Super Speeders bill outlined in our guide.

Who stands with these streets?

This precinct sits in Council District District 9, Assembly AD 68, and Senate SD 30. The harm is local. The levers are not. Have Council Member Yusef Salaam, Assembly Member Eddie Gibbs, and State Senator Cordell Cleare backed the repeat speeder bill and a lower default speed limit? The record in our files doesn’t show it. What gives?

The old man near W 116th went down in the street. The rest of us keep walking there. Slow the cars. Make the turns safe. Do it now. Start with one call and one email today.
