Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in SD 33?
Blood on River Avenue: Bronx Streets Still Kill
SD 33: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll: Lives Lost, Streets Unforgiving
In Senate District 33, the numbers do not lie. Nineteen people have died on these streets since 2022. Sixty-two have been left with serious injuries. In the last twelve months alone, over 1,350 people were hurt—children, elders, workers, neighbors. The dead do not get a second chance. The wounded carry scars that do not heal.
Just weeks ago, a driver in the Bronx struck five people and ran. “The suspect allegedly fled the scene after the crash, which injured several pedestrians” reported CBS New York. The street was left with blood and broken glass. The driver was gone.
A month before, another driver killed a pedestrian and vanished into the night. “Police are searching for a driver who allegedly fled after striking and killing a pedestrian in the Bronx early Saturday morning” wrote CBS New York. The city keeps searching. The family waits for answers.
Who Pays the Price?
Cars and SUVs do the most harm. Since 2022, they have killed five, seriously injured seventeen, and hurt hundreds more. Trucks and buses have killed two. Motorcycles and mopeds, one. Bikes, none. The most vulnerable—pedestrians, cyclists, children—pay the highest price. The street does not forgive mistakes. It does not care who had the light or who wore a helmet. It only takes.
Leadership: Rivera’s Record
State Senator Gustavo Rivera has not been silent. This year, he co-sponsored and voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill that would force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices according to Open States. He also backed bills to create safety zones and a pedestrian safety rating for vehicles. These are steps forward. But the blood on the street says it is not enough. The carnage continues. The clock is still ticking.
What Next: No More Waiting
Every day of delay means another family shattered. Call Senator Rivera. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real consequences for repeat offenders. Join Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Rivera Supports Transit Equity Opposes Harmful Fordham Bus Lane▸Bronx business groups and local institutions want Mayor Adams to stop bus lane improvements on Fordham Road.

The Belmont and Fordham Business Improvement Districts, along with the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, Monroe College, and St. Barnabas Hospital, argue the changes would 'significantly impact crucial traffic flow' and burden side streets. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera voiced support for transit equity but awaits a traffic study. DOT claims to work with the community. Despite business concerns, advocates and city data show most shoppers use transit, walking, or biking, not cars. Similar fears about bus improvements hurting business have not come true elsewhere.

The Belmont and Fordham Business Improvement Districts, along with the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, Monroe College, and St. Barnabas Hospital, argue the changes would 'significantly impact crucial traffic flow' and burden side streets. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera voiced support for transit equity but awaits a traffic study. DOT claims to work with the community.

Rivera Supports Transit Equity Opposes Harmful Fordham Bus Lane▸Bronx business groups and local institutions want Mayor Adams to stop bus lane improvements on Fordham Road. They claim the changes will hurt traffic and business. Data shows most shoppers arrive by transit, walking, or biking—not by car. The city weighs next steps.
On May 30, 2023, Bronx business leaders and institutions sent a letter opposing the Department of Transportation’s plan to expand bus lanes on Fordham Road. The matter, titled 'Bronx Business Leaders and Local Institutions Want to Halt Bus Fixes on Fordham Rd,' highlights their demand for Mayor Adams to halt improvements meant for 85,000 daily bus riders. The Belmont and Fordham Business Improvement Districts, along with the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, Monroe College, and St. Barnabas Hospital, argue the changes would 'significantly impact crucial traffic flow' and burden side streets. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera voiced support for transit equity but awaits a traffic study. DOT claims to work with the community. Despite business concerns, advocates and city data show most shoppers use transit, walking, or biking, not cars. Similar fears about bus improvements hurting business have not come true elsewhere.

The Belmont and Fordham Business Improvement Districts, along with the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, Monroe College, and St. Barnabas Hospital, argue the changes would 'significantly impact crucial traffic flow' and burden side streets. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera voiced support for transit equity but awaits a traffic study. DOT claims to work with the community.

Rivera Supports Transit Equity Opposes Harmful Fordham Bus Lane▸Bronx business groups and local institutions want Mayor Adams to stop bus lane improvements on Fordham Road. They claim the changes will hurt traffic and business. Data shows most shoppers arrive by transit, walking, or biking—not by car. The city weighs next steps.
On May 30, 2023, Bronx business leaders and institutions sent a letter opposing the Department of Transportation’s plan to expand bus lanes on Fordham Road. The matter, titled 'Bronx Business Leaders and Local Institutions Want to Halt Bus Fixes on Fordham Rd,' highlights their demand for Mayor Adams to halt improvements meant for 85,000 daily bus riders. The Belmont and Fordham Business Improvement Districts, along with the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham University, Monroe College, and St. Barnabas Hospital, argue the changes would 'significantly impact crucial traffic flow' and burden side streets. State Sen. Gustavo Rivera voiced support for transit equity but awaits a traffic study. DOT claims to work with the community. Despite business concerns, advocates and city data show most shoppers use transit, walking, or biking, not cars. Similar fears about bus improvements hurting business have not come true elsewhere.
