A complaint notes a “strong odor of alcohol” and an unsteady stance after the crash. He refused a chemical test. Gothamist | ABC7
A sister spoke on the sidewalk. “Two people were killed. He was drunk,” she said. “Think about how he took two lives.” The family asked why he walked free after arraignment. “How could they let him go?” NY Daily News

The ledger of loss
The database lists bodies by part, causes as “unspecified,” and vehicles as “demolished.” It notes ejections. It notes ages. It does not note the last text, the shoes on the shoulder, the siren that would not stop. NYC Open Data persons/vehicles
Since January, crashes in this district are up 20% over last year to date. Injuries up 34%. Four people dead so far this year versus none at this point last year. That is one line in a table. It is also a mother at a curb. Period stats

What ends this run of bodies
Albany passed tools. The Senate moved a bill to put speed limiters on cars driven by repeat offenders. Local Senator Jamaal Bailey voted yes in committee. The bill, S 4045, “relates to requiring the installation of intelligent speed assistance devices for repeated violation of maximum speed limits.” Open States file S 4045
City Hall has the power to drop speeds on local streets under Sammy’s Law. Lower speeds and speed limiters are the levers we have. Use them. Take action

According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement.

Bailey Praises Safety Boosting Bronx Transit Accessibility Upgrades▸Jun 18 - Crews will gut and rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn stations. Four new elevators will rise. Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.
On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers.

Jun 18 - Crews will gut and rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn stations. Four new elevators will rise. Three Harlem Line stops in the Bronx will open to all. The city’s transit spine grows stronger for those left waiting longest.
On June 18, 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced a sweeping accessibility project for three Metro-North Harlem Line stations in the Bronx: Williams Bridge, Woodlawn, and Botanical Garden. According to the MTA, crews will completely rebuild Williams Bridge and Woodlawn, installing four new elevators—two at each station—to ensure full accessibility. The matter summary states: 'comprehensive renovation and accessibility project at three Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line stations in the Bronx.' Christian Murray reported the announcement. No council bill number or committee applies, as this is an agency initiative, not legislation. The upgrades promise to open transit to riders long shut out by stairs and barriers. Improving station accessibility encourages more walking and cycling to transit, supports mode shift away from driving, and benefits vulnerable users by making the built environment more inclusive and safer.
