Afternoon turn at 84th and 35th leaves a man bleeding. The pattern is older than the bruise.
Queens CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just after mid‑afternoon on Sep 13, at 84 St and 35 Ave, a driver in a 2011 Toyota turned right and hit a 57‑year‑old man in a marked crosswalk; police recorded Turning Improperly and Driver Inattention/Distraction (NYC Open Data).
This Month
- Sep 10, 31 Ave at 74 St: a driver turning right hit a 45‑year‑old on a bike; police listed unspecified factors (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 8, 31 Ave at 73 St: a turning driver hit a person on a bike; police recorded Driver Inattention/Distraction (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 8, 73 St at 31 Ave: a driver making a left hit a 45‑year‑old on a bike; police recorded Failure to Yield and distraction by the driver (NYC Open Data).
The toll on these blocks
Since Jan 1, 2022, 18 people have been killed and 3,066 injured on streets of Queens Community Board 3; police recorded 34 serious injuries in that span (NYC Open Data). The dead include eight people walking and one person on a bike; the rest were inside vehicles (NYC Open Data).
Danger clusters where the traffic never stops. On 37 Avenue, police records show 4 deaths and 77 injuries. Northern Boulevard shows 1 death and 213 injuries. Both run through homes and storefronts (NYC Open Data).
Night falls and the crashes keep coming. Police data show two deaths logged around 1 AM and another two at 5 PM, with injuries heaviest through the evening commute (NYC Open Data). Names change. The corners do not.
What police write after the sirens
The forms repeat the same causes. Failure to Yield. Distraction. Traffic Control Disregarded. In one 2024 case on 31 Avenue at 100 Street, an 8‑year‑old boy was killed; police cited Failure to Yield and Driver Inattention by the turning pickup driver (NYC Open Data). Speed shows up too; police marked Unsafe Speed in a 2024 pedestrian death at 90 Street and 37 Avenue (NYC Open Data).
The fixes are not secrets. Hardened turns. Daylighting. Protected lanes where people ride. Even the city’s own spokespeople say the safer designs are worth defending. “We stand firmly behind this project and will defend our work in court,” a DOT spokesman said about a nearby street safety redesign this summer (Streetsblog NYC).
Who is responsible to act
This board is represented by Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Assembly Member Jessica González‑Rojas, and State Senator Jessica Ramos. Krishnan has pushed to speed up basic safety work, saying city projects “need to be progressing at a much much faster rate” (Streetsblog). González‑Rojas co‑sponsors Assembly bills to require speed‑limiting tech for repeat violators (A 7979, A 2299). Ramos co‑sponsors the Senate version and has voted yes in committee (S 4045).
The record here is clear. People walking and biking keep getting hit at the same corners by drivers making the same mistakes. The City can lower speeds on these blocks and Albany can lock down the worst repeat speeders.
Lower the default speeds on local streets. Pass the speed‑limiter bills. Do it before the next right turn.
Take one step now: tell your officials to act at our Take Action page.
