Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 77?

AD 77: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025

Blood on the Asphalt

In Assembly District 77, the numbers do not lie. Twelve people have died on these streets since 2022. Eighteen hundred more have been injured. Twenty-one suffered wounds so grave they may never walk the same again. The dead do not get a second chance. The living carry scars.

Just this spring, Kelvin Mitchell was killed by a hit-and-run driver on Webster Avenue. His sister stood on the sidewalk and said, “They killed my son. I need justice for my son.” The car did not stop. The street did not forgive. The community is left with a hole that cannot be filled.

The Machines That Kill

Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. Since 2022, they have killed four people and injured hundreds more. Trucks and buses took another life. Motorcycles and mopeds left fourteen people hurt. Bikes injured six. The numbers are cold, but the pain is not. Every crash is a family changed forever.

Leadership: Votes and Silence

Assembly Member Landon Dais has voted to extend and expand school speed zones and cameras, boosting pedestrian safety. He said yes to more protection for children near schools. But Dais also voted to weaken bus rules, a move that increases risk for people on foot and on bikes.

The work is not done. Every day without stronger laws is another day of blood on the street. As one mother said after her son was killed, “I just believe that people should just be more cautious, because now a family is missing a loved one and it’s just not fair.”

What Now?

This is not fate. This is policy. Call Assembly Member Dais. Call your council member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand action against repeat speeders. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Take action now.
