Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 94?
Adams Promised Safety. Ten Dead. Who Pays for Broken Streets?
Precinct 94: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 21, 2025
Blood on the Crosswalks
Just last spring, a dump truck turned left at Withers and Woodpoint. A pedestrian was crossing with the signal. The truck crushed him. He died there, in the intersection. The record says only this: crush injuries, apparent death (city data).
A few weeks later, a cyclist was killed by an e-bike on India Street. The city file reads: severe bleeding, head wound, apparent death (city data).
Since 2022, 10 people have died in traffic crashes in Precinct 94. Twenty more suffered serious injuries. The numbers do not flinch: 1,215 injured, 2,851 crashes (city data). The dead do not speak. The city moves on.
The Same Streets, the Same Mistakes
The pattern repeats. Trucks turning left. Drivers failing to yield. Bikes and mopeds, cars and SUVs, all part of the toll. The police know the corners. They know the hours. They have the power to enforce the law, to slow the cars, to ticket the reckless. They have not stopped the dying.
On McGuinness Boulevard, a cyclist was struck by a turning driver. The city had promised a road diet. It never came. “The fact is that this wouldn’t be a problem if Mayor Adams had just done what he had promised to do, which was, make all of McGuinness safe. The road diet works where it’s been installed and it’s needed for the entire corridor before this happens again,” said Kevin LaCherra.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
Local leaders have the tools. They can push for protected bike lanes, safer signals, and lower speed limits. They can demand enforcement at known hotspots. They can hold the police to account. They can act, or they can wait for the next name, the next number.
After the crash on McGuinness, the city said, “We’re thinking of the cyclist and wish them a swift recovery. We will review the details of the crash” (city statement). The words are soft. The street is hard.
What Comes Next
Precinct 94 is bleeding. The police can enforce the law. The city can build safer streets. The leaders can act. Or they can wait for the next siren.
