Early morning at Veterans and Bloomingdale
Staten Island: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 2, 2025
Just after 6 AM on Oct 1, 2025, at Veterans Rd E and Bloomingdale Rd, a driver going straight in a 2024 Mazda SUV hit a woman walking in the intersection. She died at the scene, police data show (NYC Open Data).
She was one of 58 pedestrians killed on Staten Island since 2022 (NYC Open Data). In the last 12 months alone on the borough’s streets, there were 14 deaths and 2,701 injuries across 4,564 crashes (NYC Open Data).
The pattern does not let up
Year to date, Staten Island has 11 deaths, down from 13 at this point last year, but serious injuries rose to 27 from 14 (NYC Open Data). Cars and trucks keep meeting bodies in crosswalks and on corners: Forest and Raymond. Hylan and Benton. Jefferson and Hylan. Names on a tape. Blood on the curb (NYC Open Data).
Staten Island’s recent dead
- Jan 6, 2025: A man walking in a marked crosswalk at Forest Ave and Raymond Pl was killed; police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver making a left (NYC Open Data).
- Mar 7, 2025: An 80‑year‑old man was killed at Hylan Blvd and Benton Ave by a driver going straight in an SUV (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 1, 2025: The woman at Veterans Rd E and Bloomingdale Rd. Dead in the intersection (NYC Open Data).
Kids and two wheels are not spared
On Aug 5, 2025, a 13‑year‑old on a moped collided with an MTA bus on Castleton Ave in Port Richmond and suffered a severe head injury; police said the bus operator and three passengers were unhurt (ABC7). In that report, the DMV’s own line lands like a warning: “The requirements to operate a moped are like those for motorcycles” (amNY). Two months earlier, an e‑scooter rider hit a man crossing Targee St; the pedestrian died at the hospital (amNY).
The levers sit on the desk
Speed is the knife-edge. The city now has the power to lower more limits and is rolling out 20 MPH zones. Albany renewed all‑day school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. The next step is clear: cut speeds where people walk and rein in the worst repeat offenders. Our Council Member for this area is Frank Morano. Our Assembly Member is Charles Fall. Our State Senator is Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton. The record here does not show whether they will back a strong speed‑limiter law for habitual speeders. The bodies on Staten Island’s corners ask the question.
Lower the default speed where people live. Require speed limiters for drivers who rack up camera violations. Do it before the next siren.
Take one step now. Ask City Hall and Albany to act. Start here.
