What leaders say, and what they do
Council Member Tiffany Cabán pushed for slower, safer streets after another Astoria bloodletting: “I also strongly support the 31st Street Safety Plan, Council Member [Julie] Won’s Universal Daylighting legislation, and the full implementation of Sammy’s Law and other traffic calming measures.” Streetsblog NYC
Cabán also co‑sponsored a bill to speed up school‑area safety fixes, requiring installations within 60 days once DOT signs off. NYC Council – Legistar
State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045, a measure to put intelligent speed‑assistance on cars driven by repeat violators. Open States
Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani missed a committee vote on a school speed‑zone safety bill on Jun 17, 2025. Open States
Fix what we know is broken
- Daylight every corner near the hot spots. Harden the turns at 30 St/39 Ave and along Northern Boulevard. Use leading pedestrian intervals and protected turns where the bodies pile up. NYC Open Data
- Target the morning and late‑night hours when fatalities peak here. Put enforcement and engineering where the deaths occur. NYC Open Data
Citywide, the path is clear on paper. Lower speeds save lives. The Council can act under Sammy’s Law. Cabán already said she backs “full implementation.” Streetsblog NYC
And Albany has a lever for the worst offenders. Pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat speeders under S 4045. Open States
One woman died on a Sunday afternoon at 30th Street because a driver turned and didn’t yield. The next move is ours. Act here.
