Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 7?

Preventable Speeding in Precinct 7 School Zones

(since 2022)
Morning crash on E Houston shows a precinct still bleeding

Morning crash on E Houston shows a precinct still bleeding

Precinct 7: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 4, 2025

A woman on a bike hit the pavement in the morning at E Houston Street and Avenue A. Police recorded driver inattention by the taxi driver who hit her, and she was unconscious at the scene (NYC Open Data).

This Month

  • A taxi driver hit a person walking near 217 E Houston just before evening, police noted the person was crossing against the signal (NYC Open Data).
  • A driver in an SUV and a 20‑year‑old on a bike collided at E Houston and Ludlow; police cited the driver for following too closely (NYC Open Data).
  • At Grand and Allen, a person on a bike was ejected when a driver making a U‑turn hit him (NYC Open Data).

The toll in Precinct 7

Since 2022, Precinct 7 has seen 10 people killed and 1,163 injured in 2,179 crashes (NYC Open Data). People on bikes account for 203 of those injuries; people walking, 237 (NYC Open Data).

Across the same window, among people walking, drivers in trucks were involved in 4 deaths, and drivers in SUVs/cars in 4 (NYC Open Data). FDR Drive and Delancey Street stand out in the records as repeat pain points (NYC Open Data).

Year to date, crashes are down 6.2% compared with last year, and recorded deaths fell from 8 to 0 in this precinct. Injuries also ticked down, to 237 (NYC Open Data). The bodies still come in.

A park, a truck, and four lives

On July 4, 2024, a pickup driver plowed into people gathered at Corlears Hook Park. Four people died. This month, a judge found the driver guilty. As ABC7 reported: “Daniel Hyden was found guilty on four counts of second-degree murder.”

That crash sits inside this precinct’s map. It sits in families’ kitchens. The names do not leave.

Where to fix first

Start where the data screams.

  • FDR Drive shows the heaviest body count in the precinct’s log; Delancey Street shows the injuries piled high (NYC Open Data).
  • Police recorded driver inattention in the latest Houston and Avenue A bike crash; failure to yield and following too closely show up again and again in recent bike and walk cases here (NYC Open Data).

Concrete steps fit the record: daylight corners on Delancey; hardened turns at bike conflict points; leading walk signals and no‑turn phases where people cross; targeted enforcement for failure to yield and distracted driving at FDR ramps and along East Houston. The precinct and DOT have the map. Use it.

The laws we’re not using

City leaders have already begun lowering speed limits at targeted sites under Sammy’s Law. “A driver’s speed can mean the difference between life and death,” said the DOT commissioner as the city started cutting limits in 2024 (NYC DOT). The city also expanded 24/7 speed cameras and red‑light cameras, with officials crediting stronger enforcement for a drop in deaths in early 2025 (NYC DOT).

Albany can go further. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force the worst repeat offenders to use speed‑limiting tech after piling up camera or point violations, a narrow cut aimed at drivers who keep endangering everyone else (CrashCount: Take Action).

Who must answer here

This is Precinct 7. Council Member Carlina Rivera represents most of it (District 2). In Albany, Assembly Member Grace Lee holds AD 65 and State Senator Brian Kavanagh holds SD 27. The bill named above is on their desks. Will they back it? Will they push it?

Lower the default speed where people walk and bike. Rein in repeat speeders. Start with the corners where people keep getting hit.

Act while the morning scenes on Houston Street are still fresh.

Take one step now: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the streets and stop repeat speeders. Go here.
