Crashstat - Bicylists & Pedestrian Deaths in NYC

Here's an interesting use of Google Maps' API - a site which tracks pedestrian and bicyclist deaths & injuries around NYC over the past ten years. Option boxes allow you to select what kind of data you want to see, such as injuries & deaths by borough and community, as well as any hospitals or schools that are nearby.

A pop-art looking picture of a pedestrian or a bicycle mark a death, while a blue or red dot mark an injury. The site is put together by community organization Transportation Alternatives, a "5500-member NYC-area non-profit citizens group working for better bicycling, walking and public transit, and fewer cars. We work for safer, calmer streets and car-free parks." Visit Crashstat to see how your neighborhood ranks up.
