Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB1?
Queens Bleeds: Speed Kills, Leaders Stall, Families Pay
Queens CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
In Queens CB1, the numbers do not lie. Fourteen dead. Twenty-one left with serious injuries. More than 2,800 hurt. Over 5,200 crashes since 2022. Each number is a body. Each body is a life changed or ended.
A 17-year-old died in the front seat of a sedan on Astoria Boulevard. The crash report lists only two causes: “unsafe speed” and “traffic control disregarded.” The car was being chased by police. The boy never made it home. NYC Open Data
A cyclist, 36, was killed at 37th Street and 34th Avenue. Her bike was demolished. The truck kept going straight. The crash report is silent on her name. It only says “apparent death.”
The Voices in the Aftermath
After the bus jumped the curb in Flushing, Ken Baur said, “I was all the way in the back and all of a sudden the bus hit the curb, I guess, jumped the curb, I went this way and that way and banged into the side of the bus.” Eight people were hurt. The driver had fallen asleep at the wheel. The MTA pulled him from service. The investigation drags on.
On the Belt Parkway, a BMW lost control, hit the median, went airborne, and caught fire. Two died. The NYPD said, “Thompson later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead, police said.” No arrests. No answers.
Leadership: Steps and Stalls
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. Senator Kristen Gonzalez voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed limiters. Open States But the carnage continues. Council Member Tiffany Cabán and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani have called for safer streets, but the default speed limit is still too high. Each delay is another risk. Each day without action is another family waiting for a knock at the door.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat offenders. Join the fight for safe streets. The dead cannot speak. You can.

Mamdani Opposes Adams Blocking Safety‑Boosting Street Redesigns▸City halts 34th Street busway. Mayor Adams caves to loud minority. Streets stay ruled by cars. Pedestrians and cyclists left exposed. No relief. No progress. Danger lingers. Lives at risk.
On July 7, 2025, David Meyer of Streetsblog NYC condemned the city’s decision to stall the 34th Street busway. The article, titled 'The 34th Street busway is the latest casualty of the mayor's lack of a spine on transportation issues,' highlights how Mayor Adams ignored broad support and bowed to a vocal few. Meyer supports the busway and criticizes the mayor’s retreat. No council bill number or committee is tied to this action. The delay blocks safer, more equitable streets. As the safety analyst notes, canceling or delaying the busway keeps car dominance and denies protection to pedestrians and cyclists.

On July 7, 2025, David Meyer of Streetsblog NYC condemned the city’s decision to stall the 34th Street busway. The article, titled 'The 34th Street busway is the latest casualty of the mayor's lack of a spine on transportation issues,' highlights how Mayor Adams ignored broad support and bowed to a vocal few. Meyer supports the busway and criticizes the mayor’s retreat. No council bill number or committee is tied to this action. The delay blocks safer, more equitable streets.

On July 7, 2025, David Meyer of Streetsblog NYC condemned the city’s decision to stall the 34th Street busway. The article, titled 'The 34th Street busway is the latest casualty of the mayor's lack of a spine on transportation issues,' highlights how Mayor Adams ignored broad support and bowed to a vocal few. Meyer supports the busway and criticizes the mayor’s retreat. No council bill number or committee is tied to this action. The delay blocks safer, more equitable streets. As the safety analyst notes, canceling or delaying the busway keeps car dominance and denies protection to pedestrians and cyclists.
