Blood on the Boulevard: City Inaction, More Graves
Queens CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Bone
A man on a bicycle, crushed under the wheels of an FDNY truck at Juniper Boulevard North and 80th Street. He died where he fell. Police said, “The bicyclist was an adult male who was pronounced dead at the scene.” No arrests. No answers. Just a sheet on the road and a family left behind.
A 23-year-old woman, Breanna Henderson, crossing Myrtle Avenue at Woodhaven Boulevard. A Yamaha motorcycle struck her in the dark hours before dawn. She died at Jamaica Hospital. The rider stayed. The police said, “At this time there are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.”
In the last year, four people died on these streets. Ten more suffered serious injuries. Seven hundred twenty-three were hurt. Each number is a name, a wound, a chair left empty.
Who Pays the Price
Bicyclists and pedestrians take the brunt. Trucks, SUVs, motorcycles—steel against flesh. In the last three years, trucks killed three pedestrians, SUVs killed one, motorcycles killed one more. Five others died on bikes or mopeds. The injuries pile up: 2,518 since 2022. The pain does not fade. It spreads.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city passed Sammy’s Law. Now, leaders can lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not done it yet. Speed cameras work, but their future hangs on Albany’s next vote. The city built new bike lanes, redesigned intersections, but the blood on the street says it is not enough.
No local leader has stood at these corners and said, “Enough.” No one has promised a timeline. No one has faced the families. The silence is heavy.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras, more safe crossings, more action.
Do not wait for another name on the list. The city has the power. Make them use it. Take action now.
