CloseFour Dead in About Nine Weeks. Clear the Curb, Pass the Bills.
AD 30: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 15, 2025
Four people were killed in about nine weeks on AD 30 streets. Clear the curb. Call Assembly Member Steven Raga: pass A 2299, move A 5440, and deliver the 150‑camera pilot. Cameras catch. Lanes protect. Count the days until the killing stops.
The last year
The clock kept running. People kept getting hit.
In the last 12 months in AD 30, there were 1,035 crashes. 631 people were hurt. Six were seriously injured. No one died. The line between luck and loss is thin.
About nine weeks of death
Not long ago, it broke open.
On Feb. 22, 2024, a cyclist was killed on Maurice Ave.
On Mar. 12, 2024, a woman crossing with the signal was killed by a turning dump truck at 57 Ave and 80 St.
On Apr. 16, 2024, a 78‑year‑old was struck at Grand Ave and 80 St by a moped rider. She died.
On Apr. 23, 2024, a 38‑year‑old was killed at Roosevelt Ave and 70 St by an SUV.
Same district. Same cost.
What your Assembly Member did
Assembly Member Steven Raga has moved on some fronts.
- In June 2025, he voted yes to extend and fix NYC school‑speed‑zone laws (S 8344).
- In January 2025, he co‑sponsored A 2299 to require speed‑limiting tech for repeat offenders.
- In February 2025, he sponsored A 5440 to let NYC ticket illegal parking by camera, a push echoed by the City Council’s Res 1024‑2025.
- In March 2025, he pushed a $35 million pilot for 150 cameras to ticket double parking. The push drew coverage.
Citywide, access moved too. “We made that today. It is the most accessible fleet in the entire country,” TLC Commissioner David Do said, as half of NYC taxis became wheelchair‑accessible.
What still waits
Cameras catch. Lanes protect. Design saves. The bodies tell us what words can’t. Policy on paper means nothing until the curb is clear and the turn is slow.
Act now
Call Assembly Member Steven Raga. Tell him: pass A 2299, move A 5440, and deliver the 150‑camera pilot to clear the curb and the crosswalk — a push also before the Council as Res 1024‑2025. Press for results, not promises. Count every day until the killing stops.
