Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB7?
Blood on Queens Streets: Who Will Stop the Killing?
Queens CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 12, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Bone
The streets of Queens CB7 do not forgive. Since 2022, 23 people have died and 3,236 have been injured in crashes here. Eighty-five suffered injuries so severe they will never be the same. These are not just numbers. They are mothers, children, elders—the man who never made it home, the woman left broken at the curb.
Last month, a bus jumped the curb at 57th Road and Main Street. Seven people were hurt. A passenger, clutching her child, said, “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings.” The bus driver, just 25, told police he misjudged the curb. Later, video showed he may have fallen asleep. The MTA pulled him from service. The investigation drags on. Another rider said, “It must be very devastating for the people that were on the bus,” as the pole stood bent and the sidewalk scarred.
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt. In the last twelve months, three people died and 1,111 were hurt in crashes here. Children, elders, and those on foot or bike are most likely to pay with their bodies. Cars and SUVs are the main killers, responsible for most deaths and injuries. The violence is steady. It does not stop for rain, sun, or the school bell.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some steps forward, too many sideways. Council Member Sandra Ung has co-sponsored bills for speed humps, raised crosswalks, and better lighting. She backed a study on safer street design. But when the Council voted to end jaywalking enforcement—a move proven to protect the vulnerable—she was absent. Council Member Vickie Paladino voted no. She did, however, celebrate new car-free school streets, calling them a win for children’s safety.
Senator John Liu voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill that would force repeat speeders to install devices that keep them from breaking the limit. But the carnage continues. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. Every day leaders wait, another family is shattered. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for those who walk and ride. The blood on the street is not an accident. It is a choice. Make them choose life.
