Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 50?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 50 School Zones

(since 2022)

Precinct 50 Bleeds—How Many Bodies Before the City Acts?

Precinct 50: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Bodies in the Road

A woman steps into the crosswalk at Corlear Avenue. An SUV turns left. She does not make it to the other side. In the last twelve months, two people have died on the streets of Precinct 50. Ten more suffered serious injuries. In that same year, 412 people were hurt in crashes—pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, children. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do. (NYC crash data)

The Machines That Kill

SUVs and sedans do most of the damage. In three years, SUVs alone have killed four people here. Trucks and buses add to the toll. Bikes and mopeds, too, but the numbers are small. The street is a gauntlet. The old, the young, the careful, the distracted—none are safe. (NYC crash data)

The Leaders and the Silence

On a cold morning, a city bus hangs off the edge of a Bronx overpass. The driver swerved to avoid a double-parked car. The wall gave way. No one died, but the street was left broken. “We’re told by the MTA that the bus was trying to get around an illegally double-parked car, and he hit the wall and went through it,” said Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz. Councilman Eric Dinowitz saw the deeper rot: “That’s a very big bus, so even going very slowly, it can do a lot of damage. I think it speaks to the importance of enforcing our parking rules because it was going around a double-parked car. And we’re seeing all over the city parking regulations not being enforced.” (Councilman Eric Dinowitz comments)

The police have the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on failure to yield. They can target the corners where people die. But they need to act. Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. These deaths are not accidents. They are the cost of inaction. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer crossings. Demand that the law protect the living, not just the drivers. Do not wait for another name on the list.
