Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 5?
Hit-and-Run City: Broken Bodies, Blame in Circulation
Precinct 5: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
Blood on the Streets
Just last Tuesday, a 65-year-old man rode his e-bike down Second Avenue. A 21-year-old, driving a Nissan Rogue, hit him and kept going. The cyclist was left with severe head trauma, unconscious as paramedics worked to save him. The driver was arrested two hours later, charged with leaving the scene and driving without a license. The bike’s red light kept flashing in the road. The biker was rushed by EMS to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition.
This is not rare. In the last twelve months, Precinct 5 saw 3 deaths and 324 injuries from crashes. Four people suffered injuries so severe they may never recover. The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors, parents, children.
Patterns of Harm
The violence is relentless. Last fall, a 54-year-old woman was killed crossing Spring and Crosby. The driver failed to yield. On Canal, a 55-year-old man died under the wheels of an SUV. A 69-year-old woman was killed by an e-bike at Grand and Chrystie. The stories change, but the ending is the same.
Most of the harm comes from cars and trucks—3 deaths, 2 serious injuries, 194 other injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds add more. Bikes, too, have killed and injured. No one is safe when the street is a battlefield.
Leadership: Action and Silence
Council Member Christopher Marte has called out city neglect after deadly crashes. Council Member Christopher Marte cites Department of Transportation for ongoing neglect. The police have the power to enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. They can act. They must act.
But the pace is slow. The city has the tools. The laws are on the books. The bodies keep coming.
Call to Action
This is not fate. It is failure. Demand more from your leaders. Call Precinct 5. Call your council member. Tell them to enforce the law, slow the cars, and protect the people who walk and ride. Every day of delay is another life at risk.

City Eyes Overhaul For 14th Street▸City, BIDs, and agencies plan a $3 million study to reshape 14th Street. The goal: safer space for walkers, cyclists, and buses. The busway may become permanent. Cars lose ground. Change moves slow.
New York Magazine - Curbed (2025-07-29) reports city officials and business groups will fund a $3 million, two-year study to redesign 14th Street. The plan aims for a 'complete street'—space for pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and limited cars. The article notes, 'Their (mostly) shared goal is to make 14th into what's often called a complete street.' The study will assess traffic flow and street dynamics. The busway, which restricts cars, may become permanent. No crash or injury data is cited, but the focus is on systemic street changes, not individual driver actions.
