How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles). We filtered to the West Village (NTA MN0203) and dates Jan 1, 2022–Sep 16, 2025, then counted total crashes, injuries, and deaths, and reviewed factors and locations. You can run a filtered query starting [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95). Data was accessed Sep 16, 2025.

Where are the worst spots?

Police reports show repeat harm on 7 Avenue and Hudson Street, with West 14 Street, Bleecker Street, and West 4 Street also recurring. These locations appear as top intersections in the filtered crash records from 2022 to 2025.

Who represents this area, and what have they done?

Council Member Erik Bottcher backs a 34th Street busway commitment tied to Midtown rezoning. Assembly Member Deborah Glick sponsored the 24/7 school‑zone speed camera extension (A8787) and is listed as a co‑sponsor on the speed‑limiter companion bill (A2299). State Senator Brian Kavanagh voted yes in committee for S4045, the Senate speed‑limiter bill. Sources: Streetsblog NYC; AMNY; NY Senate records.

What fixes would help locally?

Daylight corners to improve sightlines, add leading pedestrian intervals, and harden left turns at repeat sites like Hudson and West 14. Prioritize 7 Avenue, Hudson Street, and Bleecker‑area crossings based on crash history in the city dataset.

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.
