Ten Dead, No Answers: Harlem Streets Still Bleed
SD 30: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 7, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Just last week, a man was killed by a train at 125th Street in Harlem. Police found him “unconscious and unresponsive on the tracks”—no arrests, no answers, only another life lost in the system’s blind spot, as reported by the NY Daily News.
On the streets, the carnage is relentless. In the last 12 months alone, 10 people died and 1,285 were injured in crashes across SD 30. Children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians—none are spared. A 73-year-old man was killed crossing W 135th Street by an SUV. A 43-year-old cyclist died on the 97th Street Transverse. The numbers do not flinch: 25 people suffered serious injuries. Each one is a story cut short.
The Vehicles That Kill
SUVs and cars do most of the damage. In this district, they caused 10 deaths and over 650 injuries to pedestrians and cyclists. Trucks and buses killed 2 more. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes add to the toll. The street is a gauntlet, and the most vulnerable pay the price, according to NYC Open Data.
Leadership: Progress and Pressure
State Senator Cordell Cleare has taken steps. She co-sponsored and voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. She also voted to extend school speed zones. These are real moves, but the crisis is bigger than any one bill. The work is not done.
The Human Cost
Every crash leaves a mark. “Kirk was taken from me just as we were starting our new life together. He was the love of my life,” said Shauntea Weaver after a wrong-way crash killed her fiancé. The grief is raw, the loss permanent.
What Comes Next
The deaths will not stop until the city and state make every street safe for the most vulnerable. Call Senator Cleare. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph citywide speed limit. Demand action against repeat offenders. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
