CloseHarlem Bleeds While Leaders Wait
Precinct 28: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Toll on Harlem’s Streets
In Precinct 28, the violence comes slow and steady. One person is dead. Ten more have suffered serious injuries since 2022. The numbers do not flinch: 1,270 crashes, 649 injured. The dead do not speak. The wounded carry scars the city cannot count.
Children are not spared. Fifty children have been hurt. One was seriously injured. The old are not spared. The young are not spared. No one is spared.
The Machines That Maim
Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. They hit, they crush, they leave people bleeding on the asphalt. SUVs and sedans alone caused 116 pedestrian injuries. Trucks and buses add thirteen more. Motorcycles, mopeds, bikes—they all take their share. But it is the weight of steel that does the killing.
Leadership: Words and Silence
The city talks of Vision Zero. The numbers keep coming. The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can stand at the corners where the blood pools and say, Not here, not today. But too often, they do not.
The city’s leaders promise action. “We need to do something to make sure bicyclists feel safer,” said CB 5 Vice Chair Samir Lavingia. But the plans stall. The lanes for bikes and buses are cut. The cars keep their lanes. The vulnerable wait.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call the precinct. Tell them: Enforce the law. Protect the people who walk and ride.
Do not wait for another child’s name to be added to the list.
