Blood on 149th Street, Silence in Albany: Demand Safe Streets Now
SD 29: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
A man crossing E. 149th Street never made it home. A cyclist lay dead on Brook Avenue, struck by a turning bus. In the last twelve months alone, 11 people died and 27 suffered serious injuries on the streets of Senate District 29. Pedestrians, cyclists, and children are the first to fall.
On Randall’s Island, a mother riding her e-bike home was beaten and left with brain injuries. Her daughter pleaded: “We need more protection, we need more lights.” The path had no lights. No cameras. No safety for the tired or the vulnerable.
In Hunts Point, a man sleeping under a box truck was crushed when the driver pulled away. A worker nearby said, “Nobody checks under their car [to see] if someone is there.” On these blocks, danger is routine. Death is common.
The Numbers That Don’t Lie
In the past year, SD 29 saw 2,600 crashes, 1,585 injuries, and 11 deaths. Serious injuries are up 62% from the year before. The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors, parents, children. Most were walking or riding a bike. Most never saw it coming.
Cars and SUVs killed more than any other vehicle. Trucks, buses, motorcycles, and bikes all took their share. The streets do not forgive mistakes. They punish the slow, the tired, the unlucky.
What Has Been Done—and What Hasn’t
Senator Jose Serrano voted yes on a bill to force safer street design statewide. The bill calls for roads built for people, not just cars. He voted for it. That is a start. But the blood on the crosswalks says it is not enough.
No press quotes. No public demands. No urgent push for more. The silence is loud. The crisis is not over. The next victim is already on the street.
What You Must Do
Call Senator Serrano. Call your council member. Demand more. Demand lower speed limits, more protected crossings, and real accountability. Join Families for Safe Streets and Transportation Alternatives. Do not wait for another name on the list.
The streets will not change themselves. Only you can force their hand.
