We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4). We filtered for crashes within Precinct 106 between 2022-01-01 and 2025-09-25, and tallied deaths, injuries, serious injuries, modes, and times. You can view the source datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95), [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Person/f55k-p6yu), and [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Vehicles/bm4k-52h4).

What local fixes make sense now?

Harden left turns and add daylighting and LPIs at Liberty Avenue, North Conduit Avenue, and around the Van Wyck service roads; target late‑evening enforcement where deaths cluster. Then back citywide speed reductions and tech for repeat speeders via the steps outlined in our [Take Action](/take_action/) guide.
