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.

A 22-year-old cyclist was injured when a Ford SUV's right-side doors blocked her path on 30th Avenue in Queens. According to the police report, the crash involved 'Failure to Keep Right' and 'Driver Inattention/Distraction.' The cyclist suffered a contusion to her arm.

Cabán Supports Secure Jobs Act Against Harmful Deactivations▸Grubhub axed over 50 delivery workers in two weeks. Wonder, the new owner, pulled the trigger. Workers lost income. Streets lost eyes. Fewer riders mean more danger. The city’s arteries run thinner. The system failed the people who keep it moving.
On June 18, 2025, more than 50 delivery workers were deactivated from Grubhub after its $650-million acquisition by Wonder. The protest, covered by Streetsblog NYC, centers on mass deactivations and the fight for gig worker protections. Sophia Lebowitz opposes the deactivations and supports worker rights. The article states, 'More than 50 delivery workers have had their accounts deactivated by Grubhub in the past two weeks, and they're blaming the company's new owner, Wonder.' Council Member Tiffany Cabán’s 'Secure Jobs Act' is cited as a possible remedy, requiring companies to give reason for termination, even for gig workers. The safety analyst warns: deactivating accounts pushes workers into riskier, informal jobs, increases unsafe cycling, and erodes safety in numbers for vulnerable road users. The city’s streets grow more dangerous when riders disappear.

Mamdani Supports Safety-Boosting Fare-Free Buses and Bike Lanes▸Zohran Mamdani pushed three bills in Albany. None changed the street. No law passed. Buses, bikes, and walkers saw no relief. The system held firm. Vulnerable New Yorkers still face danger. Progress waits. Streets stay the same.
Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (District 36) sponsored three major bills in the New York State Assembly. As of June 18, 2025, none have become law. The article from City & State NY states: 'Mamdani, a democratic socialist, has championed ambitious reforms, particularly in transportation policy.' He backed fare-free MTA buses, more bike lanes, and greater public input. Mamdani defended his record, saying, 'You have to judge the efficacy, the success, and those are things that I'm proud of having delivered.' Despite his efforts, no specific policy or legislative change affecting pedestrian or cyclist safety has occurred; therefore, there is no measurable impact on vulnerable road users. The bills remain stalled. Streets remain dangerous. The system resists change.

The article states: "The car is driven by multiple people, all of whom have been reminded to obey the speed limit, and there are no outstanding tickets." Cuomo’s spokesperson, Esther Jensen, noted his past support for speed cameras.

Fewer riders mean more danger. The city’s arteries run thinner. The system failed the people who keep it moving.
On June 18, 2025, more than 50 delivery workers were deactivated from Grubhub after its $650-million acquisition by Wonder. The protest, covered by Streetsblog NYC, centers on mass deactivations and the fight for gig worker protections. Sophia Lebowitz opposes the deactivations and supports worker rights. The article states, 'More than 50 delivery workers have had their accounts deactivated by Grubhub in the past two weeks, and they're blaming the company's new owner, Wonder.' Council Member Tiffany Cabán’s 'Secure Jobs Act' is cited as a possible remedy, requiring companies to give reason for termination, even for gig workers. The safety analyst warns: deactivating accounts pushes workers into riskier, informal jobs, increases unsafe cycling, and erodes safety in numbers for vulnerable road users.

Mamdani Opposes Reckless Driving by Public Officials▸Andrew Cuomo’s car got two more speed-camera tickets. That makes four in three months. Each violation happened near Brooklyn schools. Cuomo’s team paid the fines. Leaders who speed endanger walkers and riders. Streets stay deadly when the powerful ignore the law.
On June 16, 2025, Streetsblog NYC reported that former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s car received two new speed-camera tickets, bringing the total to four in three months. The article states: "The car is driven by multiple people, all of whom have been reminded to obey the speed limit, and there are no outstanding tickets." Cuomo’s spokesperson, Esther Jensen, noted his past support for speed cameras. Mayoral rival Brad Lander and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani criticized Cuomo’s record, calling his driving 'reckless and unlawful.' Zellnor Myrie’s spokesperson, Julia Rose, said Cuomo acts above the law. The safety analyst notes: this event describes an individual's driving and parking behavior but does not constitute a policy change or legislation affecting population-level safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Grubhub axed over 50 delivery workers in two weeks. Wonder, the new owner, pulled the trigger. Workers lost income. Streets lost eyes. Fewer riders mean more danger. The city’s arteries run thinner. The system failed the people who keep it moving.
On June 18, 2025, more than 50 delivery workers were deactivated from Grubhub after its $650-million acquisition by Wonder. The protest, covered by Streetsblog NYC, centers on mass deactivations and the fight for gig worker protections. Sophia Lebowitz opposes the deactivations and supports worker rights. The article states, 'More than 50 delivery workers have had their accounts deactivated by Grubhub in the past two weeks, and they're blaming the company's new owner, Wonder.' Council Member Tiffany Cabán’s 'Secure Jobs Act' is cited as a possible remedy, requiring companies to give reason for termination, even for gig workers. The safety analyst warns: deactivating accounts pushes workers into riskier, informal jobs, increases unsafe cycling, and erodes safety in numbers for vulnerable road users. The city’s streets grow more dangerous when riders disappear.

Despite his efforts, no specific policy or legislative change affecting pedestrian or cyclist safety has occurred; therefore, there is no measurable impact on vulnerable road users.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Mamdani Opposes Reckless Driving by Public Officials▸Andrew Cuomo’s car got two more speed-camera tickets. That makes four in three months. Each violation happened near Brooklyn schools. Cuomo’s team paid the fines. Leaders who speed endanger walkers and riders. Streets stay deadly when the powerful ignore the law.
On June 16, 2025, Streetsblog NYC reported that former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s car received two new speed-camera tickets, bringing the total to four in three months. The article states: "The car is driven by multiple people, all of whom have been reminded to obey the speed limit, and there are no outstanding tickets." Cuomo’s spokesperson, Esther Jensen, noted his past support for speed cameras. Mayoral rival Brad Lander and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani criticized Cuomo’s record, calling his driving 'reckless and unlawful.' Zellnor Myrie’s spokesperson, Julia Rose, said Cuomo acts above the law. The safety analyst notes: this event describes an individual's driving and parking behavior but does not constitute a policy change or legislation affecting population-level safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Mamdani Opposes Reckless Driving by Public Officials▸Andrew Cuomo’s car got two more speed-camera tickets. That makes four in three months. Each violation happened near Brooklyn schools. Cuomo’s team paid the fines. Leaders who speed endanger walkers and riders. Streets stay deadly when the powerful ignore the law.
On June 16, 2025, Streetsblog NYC reported that former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s car received two new speed-camera tickets, bringing the total to four in three months. The article states: "The car is driven by multiple people, all of whom have been reminded to obey the speed limit, and there are no outstanding tickets." Cuomo’s spokesperson, Esther Jensen, noted his past support for speed cameras. Mayoral rival Brad Lander and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani criticized Cuomo’s record, calling his driving 'reckless and unlawful.' Zellnor Myrie’s spokesperson, Julia Rose, said Cuomo acts above the law. The safety analyst notes: this event describes an individual's driving and parking behavior but does not constitute a policy change or legislation affecting population-level safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

On June 16, 2025, Streetsblog NYC reported that former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s car received two new speed-camera tickets, bringing the total to four in three months. The article states: "The car is driven by multiple people, all of whom have been reminded to obey the speed limit, and there are no outstanding tickets." Cuomo’s spokesperson, Esther Jensen, noted his past support for speed cameras. Mayoral rival Brad Lander and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani criticized Cuomo’s record, calling his driving 'reckless and unlawful.' Zellnor Myrie’s spokesperson, Julia Rose, said Cuomo acts above the law. The safety analyst notes: this event describes an individual's driving and parking behavior but does not constitute a policy change or legislation affecting population-level safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
