Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in SD 31?
Senator Jackson: Legislation Passed, Bodies Counted, Streets Still Deadly
SD 31: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
Blood on the Streets
Just days ago, a cyclist was struck at West 181st and Cabrini in Washington Heights. The driver made a U-turn, hit the woman, and fled. Police checked the victim, then left. Neighbors watched. One said, “No one stops at these stop signs. We see people go through these red lights all the time” (CBS New York).
In the last twelve months, five people have died in crashes across SD 31. Twenty-four were seriously hurt. The toll is steady, the pain routine. Cyclists, walkers, children—no one is spared. In the past year, 1,448 people were injured in 2,348 crashes. The numbers do not flinch.
Patterns, Not Accidents
The same corners see the same violence. Residents know the danger. “The crowding and the traffic signals are a problem,” said a man named Jordan (CBS New York). Another neighbor, Nina Schmidt, said, “I really want there to be speed humps because it’s just terrifying” (CBS New York).
The city counts the bodies. The city counts the broken bones. But the city does not fix the street.
Senator Jackson: Votes and Silence
State Senator Robert Jackson has voted for bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones (Open States). He co-sponsored a bill to require speed-limiting devices for drivers with a record of violations. He backed 24/7 speed cameras (Streetsblog NYC).
But the deaths keep coming. The bills move slow. The streets stay the same.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. This is policy. Call Senator Jackson. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed humps. Demand action. Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street.
