Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB3?
Red Lights, Broken Lives: Queens Streets Are Killing Our Kids
Queens CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
Children in the Crosswalk, Sirens in the Night
A four-year-old and her sister, eight, stepped into the crosswalk on 37th Avenue. An SUV driver went around a car, ran the red, and hit them. The driver fled. The girls went to Elmhurst Hospital. They survived. The driver is still out there. Police said the girls had minor injuries. The street remembers more than that.
In the last twelve months, 710 people were hurt and 8 suffered serious injuries in Queens CB3. Two people died.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Since 2022, there have been 13 deaths and 2,140 injuries on these streets. Children, elders, workers. A man, 23, killed on his way to work. A child, 8, crushed crossing with the light. A woman, 60, bled out at the curb. The numbers do not care about age or dreams. They only climb.
Leadership: Words and Waiting
City leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about speed cameras and lower limits. But the carnage continues. After a firefighter killed a young man while driving drunk and high at 83 mph, Queens DA Melinda Katz said, “Drunk, drugged and reckless driving are dire threats to everyone on our shared roadways.” The victim’s brother said, “Pena will walk the streets for a $50,000 bail… Justin will never walk the streets again.”
Speed cameras work, but the law that keeps them running is always at risk. The city can lower speed limits now, but waits. Every day of delay is another roll of the dice.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand permanent speed cameras. Demand streets where children can cross and live. Take action now.

González-Rojas Celebrates Safety-Boosting Cross Bay Bridge Ramp Upgrade▸The Cross Bay Bridge’s deadly ramp is gone. In its place: a wide, gentle slope. Pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users now cross safely. The upgrade, forced by a 2021 law, marks progress. But other bridges still leave vulnerable users stranded. Advocates demand more.
On September 25, 2024, the MTA completed a major upgrade to the Cross Bay Bridge, replacing its hazardous Rockaway-side ramp with a wider, ADA-compliant path. This action fulfills a mandate from the 2021 MTA Bike Access bill. Assembly Member Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, who sponsored the law, said, "I'm excited about the ADA-accessible ramp on the Cross Bay Bridge and that cyclists and pedestrians can access this space... because we passed my legislation." The MTA also announced similar improvements for the Henry Hudson and Triboro Bridges. However, plans for the Verrazzano, Gil Hodges-Marine Parkway, Bronx-Whitestone, and Throgs Neck bridges remain uncertain. Cycling advocates praised the MTA’s progress but criticized its reluctance to consider lane conversions for safer, broader access. The new ramp removes a deadly barrier, but the fight for safe passage on all city bridges continues.
