Since Jan 1, 2022, this district has seen 23 people killed and 3,329 injured across 6,147 crashes. Police logged 32 serious injuries. NYC Open Data.
People walking carry the risk. Trucks and buses have killed 7 pedestrians here in that span. NYC Open Data.
Danger runs into the night. Deaths spike around 10 PM and 7 PM. NYC Open Data.
Corners that keep breaking people
Police reports tie death to speed and turns. A driver going at unsafe speed killed a 66‑year‑old man at Clove Road and Tioga Street before dawn on Mar 30, 2023. Crash record.
Failure to yield killed a 1‑year‑old in a marked crosswalk at Scarboro Avenue and Abbott Street on May 26, 2022. Her mother was hurt. Crash record.
Hot spots persist. The Staten Island Expressway corridor leads the harm, with deaths and hundreds of injuries. Forest Avenue and Richmond Avenue also pile up injuries. NYC Open Data.
Workers in the path of trucks
On Gulf Avenue, a box‑truck driver backing up struck and killed a 34‑year‑old worker late on Apr 9, 2025. A coworker said, “He was 34 years old. He had two daughters. He was killed on the job.” NY Daily News.
The city crushes illegal mopeds by the hundreds. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, “This morning is not just about crushing mopeds. It is about crushing the criminal activity and quality of life activities that come with them.” Gothamist. The harm on foot remains. Trucks and buses keep taking lives here. NYC Open Data.
The policy we have, and the votes we got
Albany extended New York City’s school‑zone speed‑camera program in June 2025. Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo voted no. Open States. He was also named among city lawmakers who opposed the cameras. Streetsblog NYC.
Speed is the lever. Our city already has the authority to drop limits and to rein in the worst repeat speeders with intelligent speed assistance under a proposed bill. Here’s what those steps look like and how to push them. Take Action.
What would make this district safer now
- Daylight the corners where turning drivers hit people crossing. Harden the turns so drivers take them slow. Prioritize Forest Avenue and Richmond Avenue.
- Add leading pedestrian intervals at signalized crossings along corridors with repeated injuries.
- Tighten truck operations in loading zones and yards; require safe backing protocols where workers are on foot.
The crash at Forest Hill and Richmond was one afternoon. The record shows the clock runs late into the night. The fix is known. Act now. Take Action.

Pirozzolo Criticizes Safety Boosting Speed Camera Program▸Jun 23 - Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.

Jun 23 - Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.
