Queens CB5: Deadly Corners, Known Fixes, stalled urgency
Queens CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another driver. Same ending.
- A box truck turned right at 80th Street and Juniper Blvd North. It struck a 54‑year‑old on a bicycle. He died. Police logged “Traffic Control Disregarded.” The trucker was injured. The record is cold and plain: one dead cyclist, one turning truck. The city file is here: CrashID 4807280.
- On Maurice Avenue, a truck going straight hit a 47‑year‑old on a bike. The man died. The form lists “Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way” and “Driver Inattention/Distraction.” See CrashID 4705063.
- Motorcycles keep paying the price on local highways: a 26‑year‑old on the LIE, dead; a 39‑year‑old at Eliot Ave and 69th St, dead; a 39‑year‑old on the Jackie Robinson Parkway, dead. Files: 4729766, 4768223, 4823332.
The bodies accrue on a ledger. No mercy in the fields of numbers.
Heavy machines, soft targets
- Trucks and buses loom large in the harm to people on foot. In this district’s pedestrian injuries, trucks caused 19 cases, with three deaths, while SUVs and cars injured far more people overall. The split is here: PeriodStats vehicle rollup and causes of pedestrian injuries by vehicle type in the same file.
- Bicyclists are not spared. Four cyclists are dead in the period. 263 were hurt. Pedestrians: six dead, 408 hurt. The city’s rollup puts it in black and white in the small‑area file.
- Two corridors stand out for carnage: the Long Island Expressway and Jackie Robinson Parkway. CB5 also lists Maurice Avenue among the deadliest local streets.
The clock tells on us
- Death peaks cluster late afternoon into evening. The small‑area data shows deaths spiking at 4 p.m., 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and again near 10–11 p.m. See the hourly table in the CB5 analysis.
- “Failure to Yield” and distraction appear on fatal bike cases here. “Unsafe speed” barely shows in forms, but the harm does not care about checkboxes.
Three corners. One fix.
- 80th Street at Juniper Blvd North. A right‑turning box truck killed a cyclist. Harden the turn. Daylight the corner. Give a leading pedestrian and bike interval. The fatal file: 4807280.
- Maurice Avenue. A truck driver failed to yield and struck a cyclist. Build protected bike lanes and a protected intersection. Freight keeps moving; people should live. The fatal file: 4705063.
- Cypress Avenue and the highway edges. Repeat injuries stack up. Cut speeds with narrow lanes, raised crossings, and hardened centerlines. The CB5 list flags Cypress Avenue as a top injury site.
Officials know what works — do they?
- City Hall has the tools. Albany handed over one. Sammy’s Law lets NYC lower the default speed. Our site’s call to action lays it out: drop to 20 mph citywide now. See Take Action.
- Repeat speeders drive a lot of the killing. The state bill to force speed limiters on habitual offenders moved in June. Senators, including Michael Gianaris and Joseph Addabbo Jr., voted yes in committee on S 4045. Our call to “Stop Super Speeders” spells it out in plain terms: Take Action.
- The Council moved to strip city parking permits from drivers with obscured plates. Council Member Robert F. Holden co‑sponsors Int 1358‑2025, which targets plate tampering that hides speed and red‑light violations.
The horror keeps pace
- In the last 12 months, five people died on CB5 streets. 945 were hurt. The year‑to‑date death count is up from last year at this point. The CB5 period stats show the rise.
- Top locations by harm: Long Island Expressway, Jackie Robinson Parkway, Maurice Avenue, Cypress Avenue.
What breaks the spell is not a speech. It is a wrench and a vote. Slow turns. Protected lanes. Lower limits. Limit the repeat speeders. Then count fewer bodies.
Bold steps are on the table. Use them. Act now.
