Queens CB6: Crosswalks, sirens, and the bill that could slow it down

Queens CB6: Crosswalks, sirens, and the bill that could slow it down

Queens CB6: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 12, 2025

On Oct 5, at Yellowstone Boulevard and Austin Street, a driver in a Hyundai sedan hit a man on an e‑bike. Police recorded an injury crash. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • Oct 3 at 69th Road and Gerard Place, a driver turning right hit a 69‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk; police recorded unsafe speed and distraction by the driver. NYC Open Data
  • Sep 29 at 108 Street and 63rd Road, two people on a bike were hurt after colliding with a parked SUV. NYC Open Data

The toll keeps climbing here

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Queens CB6, there have been 3,268 crashes, leaving 6 people dead and 1,582 injured. NYC Open Data

Pedestrians account for 2 of the deaths and 332 injuries; people on bikes for 1 death and 127 injuries. Vehicle occupants make up the rest. NYC Open Data

Crashes cluster on the expressways and arterials that cut through the district. The Long Island Expressway is the top hotspot, with 2 deaths and 168 injuries tied to crashes in the area. Queens Boulevard is close behind, with 124 injuries. NYC Open Data

Where and when it hurts

Police records show injuries stack up through the midday and into the evening, peaking from about noon through 7 PM. The 8 AM hour is high as well. NYC Open Data

Named driver errors recur: failure to yield at turns, drivers ignoring signals, improper passing, and distraction behind the wheel. In the Oct 3 case on 69th Road, police recorded both unsafe speed and driver inattention. NYC Open Data

On the LIE in Queens, a fatal case showed how exposure multiplies risk: “The 30‑year‑old rider was struck by at least three drivers in Queens.” Gothamist

Fix the corners, slow the turns

At 108 Street and across Queens Boulevard, left turns keep putting people in the hospital. Proven countermeasures are on the shelf: daylighting, hardened centerlines, and leading pedestrian intervals at the worst intersections. Targeted enforcement for failure to yield during peak hours can backstop the design. NYC Open Data

End the repeat speeding that drives the harm

This district’s lawmakers have backed tools to rein in chronic speeders. In the Senate, Joe Addabbo voted yes in committee on S 4045, the bill that would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders. Andrew Hevesi co‑sponsors the Assembly versions (A 7979 and A 2299). The city’s 24‑hour school‑zone speed cameras were renewed through 2030 with yes votes from Addabbo and Hevesi on S 8344. Open States Open States

Lower speeds save lives. The city now has the power to lower limits under Sammy’s Law. The bill to force chronic speeders to slow down has momentum in Albany. Both levers are on the table.

The next step is not abstract

Queens Boulevard. Yellowstone at Austin. The LIE. The pattern is written in police forms and hospital charts. Slow the default speed. Fit repeat offenders’ cars with limiters. Then harden the turns where people cross.

One ask, today: tell City Hall and Albany to use the tools they already have. Act at our Take Action page.

Comrie Backs Misguided Bus Lane Ticket Shield for MTA

Dec 11 - Bill S6815/A8292 would let MTA employees claim duty to evade bus‑lane penalties. It weakens enforcement. It risks abuse, deters transit use, and could push riders into cars — raising danger for pedestrians and cyclists.

Bill S6815/A8292. Status: sailed through the state Legislature and reached the governor’s desk; committee: not specified; reported Dec. 11, 2025. Matter title: "Watchdog Wants Hochul To Nix Bus Lane Enforcement Freebies for MTA Drivers." Sponsored by Sen. Leroy Comrie and Assembly Member Brian Cunningham, the bill would let MTA employees use being on duty in agency vehicles as a defense against parking prosecutions. Reinvent Albany urged Gov. Hochul to veto; Cunningham said the bill protects workers from lost pay and voiced openness to targeted reform. A spokesperson said, "The governor will review the legislation." Austin C. Jefferson appears in the record but no council action is recorded. Safety note: If the bill expands enforcement powers or criminal penalties in transit, it risks abuse against riders, deterring transit use and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Melinda R Katz Backs Safety Boosting Dedicated Bus Lanes

Dec 3 - Gersh Kuntzman says leaders avoid angering the president. It’s a political column, not a measure. No bill. No council action. No street policy change. No measurable effect on pedestrians, cyclists, or passengers — the piece offers commentary, not traffic-safety action.

Bill number: N/A. Status: N/A. Committee: N/A. Key date: published 2025-12-03. This is a Streetsblog NYC column by Gersh Kuntzman titled "Wednesday’s Headlines: Biden Their Time Edition" and summarized as "Statement: Gersh Kuntzman Says People Avoid Upsetting President." No council members are named. No votes, sponsors, or committee actions appear. Kuntzman argues leaders shy from angering the president. The record contains no transportation proposal. The safety analyst notes: "The event does not describe any transportation or road safety policy, so no discernible impact on pedestrians or cyclists." The piece is political commentary, not a traffic-safety policy.
