New York City has come undone in Bill de Blasio’s final year as mayor, with even his big-ticket initiatives proving disastrous while Hizzoner continued to focus on his public image with daily briefings about a pandemic even he acknowledged the city was ready to put in the rear-view, stunning new statistics show.
The Mayor’s Management Report, released late Friday and covering the period from July 1, 2020 and June 30 of this year, reveals a city that is fundamentally unsafe due to police cuts and failure to enforce laws already on the books — all against the backdrop of a big dip in school enrollment amid a push to scrap advanced classes for gifted children.
The revelations in the report, prepared by City Hall, include:
- Major felony crimes increased for a third consecutive year
- City streets — the mayor’s No. 1 priority under his keystone initiative, “Vision Zero,” are less safe as 275 people – including 133 pedestrians – were killed in traffic accidents, a 30-percent jump over the previous year and the most since 2014
- Meanwhile, the NYPD managed to arrest just 13 drivers for striking pedestrians with their cars, despite recording nearly 1,800 such collisions. And the number of speeding and failure-to-yield summonses issued by cops dropped by more than 27 percent and more than 63 percent, respectively.
- Despite the mayor’s frequent pronouncements about the urgency of fighting climate change, the city added no new Select Bus Service miles this past fiscal year – and the number of new bike lanes was the lowest since 2016.
Presiding over the chaos is de Blasio, whose daily briefings, begun amid the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, have often devolved into sideshows seemingly aimed at bolstering his personal brand as he weighs his political future — to the point of reportedly mulling a run for governor next year.

They seem to always release this information on a Saturday night, with none of the liberal networks are doing shows. Wonder why ?

Says it all here. Out of control police force. Out of control, over privileged drivers who can do as they please. "traffic accidents"? They aren't accidents.
But to read Queens Crap and the Quotation Drone misinformation, you would believe that it's cyclists and e-bike riders that are murdering and injuring these pedestrians.
Wait until the idiot voter population vote him to be governor! You ain't seen nothing yet!
To the bike zealot that said:
"Says it all here. Out of control police force. Out of control, over privileged drivers who can do as they please. "traffic accidents"? They aren't accidents."
You must not live in NY as a good number of bicyclists disregard safety and traffic devices. There are shitty drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Publish the stats for unlicensed e-bike accidents comrade.
@“ Publish the stats for unlicensed e-bike accidents comrade.”
I’m not your comrade QD. Those stats are freely available from NYC open data. Look it up yourself if you can figure it out.
Bozo fighting global climate change and covid.
Vision Zero was never about fatalities, was about money.
Did you see the number of speed/red light cameras installed last year?
Pretty much every street has one.
One can run a red light for $50. How is this about safety? When a cop pull you over for red light violation points are sure to follow.
Same for speeding.
Lately I notice drivers on the roads who have no business being on the roads.
Add the reckless e-biking, people walking all over like cattle looking at their phones we have a recipe for disaster.
Is called Vision Zero, because he has none.
"Publish the stats" ?
Commie Soy Boy has no stats or facts, Just Feelings.
The city will be 1000 times worse when Criminal Lover Eric Adams will be elected.
Get ready for another 4 years of the 8 years of High Crime in NYC which will be swept under the rug as usual.
Maybe the out of control "rides" on a weekly basis are hurting and killing people? Quads, dirt bikes, e-bikes, no one with insurance, no one with a street legal bike, but sure, it's licensed registered insurance "privileged" drivers that are killing people. Get your woke head out of your woke ass and understand what's really happening.

Why don’t you read the article bozo. The stats are there.
Maybe you are still waiting for a q-anon drop.
@“ Get your woke head out of your woke ass and understand what's really happening.”
What’s this got to do with woke, not woke communists etc. ? Bozo?

OK. Comrade. So you have no stats, just your big propaganda based activist ego.
"privileged" drivers
These words are straight from Open Society's playbook.
You know the George Soros type Open Society.
"q-anon drop" There is no help here in the comment section for these #TDS types.
There is a whole new generation of these woke communists indoctrinated by our Marxist schools.
The best way to stop the spread of cultural marxism and political leftism in America’s schools and universities is to totally extricate all levels of government from schooling.
Indoctrination by leftist teachers, professors, education bureaucrats, and politicians will destroy America from within!

CIA Mockingbird operation, Twitter edition.
Play from the Bolshevik playbook, at least a 100 year old trick.
@"OK. Comrade. So you have no stats, just your big propaganda based activist ego."
Says someone with Zero stats outside of some Right Wing Nut Sheeple site.
@"Indoctrination by leftist teachers, professors, education bureaucrats, and politicians will destroy America from within!"
No, gullible clown's like you are destroying America from within.
e-Bike stats
https://nypost.com/2021/06/12/e-bikes-under-fire-as-accidents-fatalities-climb-in-nyc/
Compare with the number of e-bikes and number of cars, trucks in the city, state.
From NYC,
For 2021 All fatalities = 177, Injuries = 32,474
NYC Vision ""0"" Stats Summary
The "all" includes e-bikes, skateboards, hover-boards + whatever.(Just click on the little "i" for an explanation).
There's a breakdown for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
The NY-Post is bending the stats to suit their extra fake outrage drama headline. How surprising from this rag?
You could spend a while on this site doing your own digging and compilation of stats.
One of the biggest things I noticed is how many times NYPD have failed to record the borough that a collision has taken place. But you'll have to do a bit of digging before you notice this.
NYPD Traffic Fatalities Page
Much better data here than what you get from the usual Quotation Drone and assorted Right Wing Anon rantings above. Sorry I have no link to the official Q-Anon, Info-Wars, Tucker/Hannity traffic fatality stats. I'm sure they can make up their own as needed.
