Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in SD 29?
Blood on the Curb. No More Excuses.
SD 29: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Street Does Not Forgive
Just last month, a Ford Mustang took a left turn at East 149th and Courtlandt. The car jumped the curb. Six people were hit. The driver ran. The street was left with blood and broken glass. “People were yelling, were in pain, so yelling, crying, it was very upsetting,” said Vivian Cole. The youngest victim was 30. The oldest, 79. All were sent to Lincoln Hospital. The driver and passenger vanished into the city. No arrests. No answers. Police are still searching.
The Toll: Relentless and Rising
In the last twelve months, SD 29 saw 9 deaths and 32 serious injuries. Nearly 2,000 people were hurt. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about age. Children, elders, workers, all caught in the crosswalk or on the curb. Cars and trucks did most of the harm. SUVs killed eight. Trucks and buses killed three. Bikes and mopeds killed three more. The street does not care who you are. It only counts the bodies.
Leadership: Votes and the Long Road
State Senator Jose Serrano voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders and expand school speed zones. He backed the Stop Super Speeders Act, which would force the worst offenders to slow down. He voted to extend school speed zones. These votes matter. But the blood on the street says it is not enough. The Mustang driver did not care about the law. The victims did not get a warning.
The Call: No More Waiting
Every day of delay means another family in the ER. Call Senator Serrano. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat offenders. Join Families for Safe Streets. Stand up before the next siren wails. The street will not wait. Neither should you.
