Queens CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 23, 2025

A person on a bike went down at 9 St and Vernon Blvd on Oct 18. The driver of a 2013 GMC SUV was there too. Police recorded both making a left turn (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • Oct 16: a truck driver going straight hit a 16‑year‑old in the crosswalk at 23 Ave and 38 St; police recorded driver inattention and a disregarded signal (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 14: a driver in a Ford SUV turned left at 30 Ave and 49 St and hit a woman crossing in a marked crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 9: at Northern Blvd and 47 St, a driver in a Honda SUV and a person on an e‑bike were both going straight when they collided (NYC Open Data).

The count does not stop

Since Jan 1, 2022, Queens CB1 has recorded 26 people killed in traffic crashes: 9 people walking, 4 biking, and 13 vehicle occupants (NYC Open Data). Another 3,977 people injured and 37 seriously hurt appear in the same window (NYC Open Data).

The pattern is plain in the police notes. “Failure to yield” shows up in cases like 30 Ave at 49 St on Oct 14 and 36 St at 28 Ave on Oct 4, where an SUV driver turned right and a person walking, crossing with the signal, suffered severe cuts (Oct 14 case, Oct 4 case). “Driver inattention” appears too, including the Oct 16 crash at 23 Ave and 38 St (Oct 16 case).

Corners that keep taking

Certain corridors repeat. NORTHERN Boulevard leads this district’s harm list, with the highest combined toll of injuries and serious injuries; 31 Avenue and 34 Avenue appear too (NYC Open Data). Night hours are cruel: the 11 PM hour alone shows four deaths; 4 AM and 5 PM show clusters too, in the same dataset window (NYC Open Data).

On Aug 31, 2025, a driver in a Ford SUV turned right at 39 Ave and 30 St and a woman walking in a marked crosswalk died there. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4838875). On Jan 2, 2025, at Ditmars Blvd and 31 St, a woman crossing died after a bus driver going straight hit her (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4783310).

Fix the turns. Slow the cars. Name who must act.

There are concrete moves that match the harm we see here: hardened right turns and daylighting at crosswalks, leading pedestrian intervals, and protected bike space on the corridors listed above. Target trucks on the east‑west routes with clear routing and enforcement. Focus night‑hour operations where the deaths stack up. These steps are standard DOT tools; they fit the crashes on the record (NYC Open Data).

Citywide policy can choke off the worst driving. The State Senate’s speed‑limiter bill, S 4045, would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders; State Senator Kristen Gonzalez co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (Open States). The Assembly companion, A 2299, lists Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani as a co‑sponsor (Open States). On the Council side, Int. 1375‑2025—to add 5,000 bike parking stations—was introduced by Council Member Tiffany Cabán (NYC Council – Legistar).

Lower speeds save lives; stopping repeat speeders does too. The bills named above are live. The corners named above are known. The week named above is not an outlier.

Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to move. Start here.
