The pattern is on paper
In the last 12 months in SD 19, police logged 4,079 crashes, 2,932 injuries, and 13 deaths across all ages in the period stats we track (CrashCount analysis of NYC Open Data). Year‑to‑date, the district shows 2,689 crashes, 1,998 injuries, 32 serious injuries, and 8 deaths, versus 2,281 crashes, 1,491 injuries, 12 serious injuries, and 3 deaths at this point last year — the increases noted above come from those same records.
Pedestrians carry the worst of it. Recent fatal cases here include a 68‑year‑old woman hit while crossing with the signal at Rutland Rd and E 95 St on May 14, police said (NYC Open Data). Another pedestrian was killed at Pennsylvania Ave and Blake Ave on Jan 24; police recorded failure to yield by the driver turning left (NYC Open Data).

Levers on the table — who’s pulling them?
State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee for S 4045, a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators, on May 20 and June 12, 2025 (Open States). She also voted yes to extend school speed zones, per the Senate record listed in our timeline.
Council Member Mercedes Narcisse and Assembly Member Nikki Lucas represent much of this area. The context here shows no documented sponsorship or vote by Lucas on the Assembly version of the speed‑limiter bill. The streets keep telling the story. What gives?
