Traffic violence killed 113 people in the first six months of the year. That’s a 21% decrease from last year, the deadliest on record, but a 29% increase compared to 2018, the safest year since the start of Vision Zero, according to the report. “Nobody should experience the pain of losing a loved one to traffic violence,” said Williams, a member of an advocacy group called Families for Safe Streets. “With traffic fatalities in the Bronx at record levels under Vision Zero, our leaders must invest in proven measures that protect pedestrians, bike riders, and drivers here. Families for Safe Streets members know that traffic violence is preventable. Our city’s leaders must act now to save lives.
“DOT is focused in delivering projects equitably in underserved communities and is making significant investments in the Bronx, where the DOT is planning miles of new dedicated bus lanes and protected bike lanes to support efficient, sustainable travel options that improve safety for everyone on our streets,” spokesman Vin Barone said, pointing to projects like the Fordham Area Bike Network.
