Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 34?
Blood on West 181st: Silence Is Killing Us
Precinct 34: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll on Our Streets
No one is safe on the streets of Precinct 34. In the last twelve months, there have been 672 crashes. 342 people were hurt. Ten were seriously injured. Not one person should have to bleed in the crosswalk or on a bike. But the numbers keep climbing.
Just this week, a cyclist was struck at West 181st and Cabrini. The driver made a U-turn, hit the woman, and ran. The officers checked the victim, then left. The car was abandoned. The driver vanished. A neighbor said, “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time.” Another resident pleaded, “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying.”
This is not a fluke. Last year, a 37-year-old cyclist was killed on West 181st. A 15-year-old died on a moped at Saint Nicholas Avenue. A woman lost her life as a passenger when a driver blew through a traffic control. The dead do not get second chances.
Who Pays the Price
SUVs and cars do the most harm. In the last three years, they killed two people and injured over 200 more. Motorcycles and mopeds left dozens hurt. Trucks and buses added to the toll. The victims are young and old: children, seniors, workers, mothers.
The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. But too often, the response is a shrug.
Leadership: Action or Excuses?
Local leaders have the power to act. The city can lower speed limits. The precinct can crack down on repeat offenders. But change comes slow. The silence is louder than the sirens.
Residents are not waiting. They demand speed humps. They demand enforcement. They demand to live.
Call to Action
If you live here, speak up. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer crossings. Demand action before the next siren is for someone you love.
