Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 34?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 34 School Zones

(since 2022)
Overnight on W 183: one rider down, a city still waiting

Overnight on W 183: one rider down, a city still waiting

Precinct 34: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 3, 2025

Just before 4 PM on Oct 5, 2025, a left‑turning driver hit a cyclist at W 183 St. NYC Open Data

The toll on these blocks

Since 2022 in Precinct 34, 12 people have been killed and 1,652 injured, including 31 seriously. People walking and biking bear the brunt: 3 pedestrians and 1 cyclist killed; 314 pedestrians and 154 cyclists injured. NYC Open Data

This is not a one‑off. It is a pattern measured in bodies and hospital trips. NYC Open Data

When the streets turn deadly

Most deaths here happened in the small hours. From 1 to 4 AM, eight people were killed. Night after night, the same hours, the same loss. NYC Open Data

Broadway keeps showing up in the logs. So does the Henry Hudson Parkway. The numbers from those corridors are the highest in this precinct. NYC Open Data

Police reports flag driver inattention and unsafe speed among the named factors tied to injuries here. These are choices, recorded after the fact. NYC Open Data

Fix the turns. Clear the corners. Slow the nights.

Start where the harm is concentrated:

  • Harden left turns and add leading pedestrian intervals on Broadway at W 181 St and nearby crossings.
  • Daylight corners on Sherman Avenue and along West 207 Street to give people a fighting chance at the curb.
  • Target overnight speeding with sustained enforcement on Henry Hudson Parkway and feeder routes.

These are standard tools. They work when used.

Power sits with City Hall and Albany

Precinct 34 can enforce failure‑to‑yield and speeding at the known hot hours. DOT can harden turns and daylight corners on the corridors that keep hurting people.

Citywide, the next steps are clear: lower the default speed limit and cut repeat speeding at the source. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force the worst offenders to slow down with in‑car limiters. The Council and state delegation representing this precinct — Council Member Carmen N. De La Rosa (District 10), Assembly Member Al Taylor (AD 71), and State Senator Robert Jackson (SD 31) — know these streets. The tools exist. Take action.
