Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB7?
Queens CB7: 23 Dead, Streets Still Unsafe
Queens CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 16, 2025
The Toll, Right Here
On 2025-07-02 a driver died at Bell Boulevard and the Cross Island Parkway. On 2025-03-14 an SUV struck and killed a 78-year-old woman at Parsons Boulevard and Northern Boulevard. On 2024-02-15 a 68-year-old woman died on Main Street near Reeves Avenue. On 2024-06-10 a 63-year-old bicyclist was killed at Bowne Street and 41st Avenue. On 2024-03-06 a 63-year-old on a moped was killed at College Point Boulevard and Blossom Avenue.

Wrong‑Way Violence, In Our Backyard
On the Clearview Expressway a jury heard that Joseph Lee drove the wrong way and smashed into multiple cars. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said, “Joseph Lee terrorized other drivers as he purposefully drove the wrong way on a busy Queens highway and crashed into multiple cars.” Lee told police he entered the expressway “in the wrong direction because I wanted to hurt people and I felt “liberated” by what I had done.” (amNY coverage).
Where It Keeps Happening
The Cross Island Parkway and the Whitestone Expressway are repeat hotspots. Deaths cluster in the evening; fatalities spike between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Small‑area data show unsafe speed and failure to yield among the recurring factors. Cars and SUVs account for most pedestrian deaths and injuries in the district.
Fixes that would cut risk here and now:
- Daylighting and leading‑pedestrian intervals (LPIs) at Main Street and Northern Boulevard to shorten crossing distances and give people on foot a head start.
- Protected space and hardened turns on Northern Boulevard and College Point Boulevard to separate people walking and riding from fast cars.
- Targeted nighttime speed enforcement and better lighting on parkway service roads to blunt the evening spike.
Leaders’ Moves — and Missed Chances
Council Member Vickie Paladino sponsored a bill that would remove protected bike‑lane and bus‑lane benchmarks from the Streets Master Plan; the measure sits in committee (Int 1362‑2025). State Senator John Liu voted yes in committee on S4045, the state bill to require intelligent speed‑assistance devices for habitual violators.
City council and the mayor can act locally. Keep the protected‑lane targets in the Streets Master Plan. Fund daylighting and LPIs at CB7 hotspots. And demand the city lower default speeds on local streets.
Citywide Fixes
Local patterns need citywide answers. Lowering New York City’s default speed limit to 20 mph would cut the force that turns mistakes into deaths. Requiring intelligent speed‑assistance devices for repeat offenders, as S4045 proposes, would force the worst drivers to slow down. These are practical, tested tools: speed limits and speed‑limiting tech save lives and focus enforcement where it matters (see S4045 and the Council file Int 1362‑2025).
Act Now
Call your council member and state legislators. Tell them to oppose removing lane targets (Int 1362‑2025), pass speed‑limiter requirements for repeat speeders (S4045), and lower local street speeds. Demand daylighting and LPIs on Main and Northern, protected space on Northern and College Point Boulevard, and night speed enforcement on parkway service roads. The bodies are here. Leaders must act before more families lose someone they love.
