Queens CB9: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 29, 2025

Just before 11 PM on Oct 22, 2025, on 130th Street at 90th Avenue, the driver of a 2005 Honda sedan hit a 55-year-old man not at an intersection. He died at the scene, police data show (NYC Open Data).

He is one of 16 people killed on Queens Community Board 9 streets since 2022, including 10 people walking and one person on a bike (NYC Open Data). Those same years saw 479 pedestrians and 156 cyclists injured here. The numbers keep their own vigil.

This Week

  • Oct 22: A driver going straight hit and killed a man in the roadway on 130th Street at 90th Avenue, just before 11 PM (NYC Open Data).
  • Oct 11: A 14-year-old operating a moped was badly hurt after colliding with a parked GMC pickup at 127th Street and 94th Avenue (NYC Open Data).

Where the street keeps taking people

Police records show repeat pain on the big corridors: 101 Avenue, Woodhaven Boulevard, and Atlantic Avenue rank among the worst for injuries and deaths in this board (NYC Open Data). Drivers turning or failing to yield are common threads, along with distraction, in crashes that hurt people here — all documented causes in local case files (NYC Open Data).

Nights cut deep. Deaths cluster in the small hours and again late in the day, with spikes around 2 AM and 10 PM, and another at 8 AM as the day starts (NYC Open Data).

What simple fixes would help here

  • Daylight corners and add hardened right turns at 101 Avenue, Woodhaven Boulevard, and Atlantic Avenue.
  • Install leading pedestrian intervals and raised crosswalks at busy crossings along these corridors.
  • Target left- and right-turn failure-to-yield enforcement during the deadly hours (overnight and the evening rush).

These are standard tools. They match the problems recorded on these blocks.

The drivers who don’t stop speeding

This district keeps seeing the worst repeat offenders. City data show thousands of drivers who blew past cameras again and again. Citywide, after drivers crossed the “habitual speeder” thresholds, there were 48,424 preventable speeding tickets at the 16-ticket level and 118,671 at the 6-ticket level since 2022. In 2025 alone, it’s 10,746 and 25,016 so far (NYC Open Data).

Albany has a bill for that. The Senate’s S 4045 would require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up repeated violations. State Senator Joe Addabbo voted yes in committee (Open States). The Assembly still must carry it.

Who’s helping — and who is not

This board sits in Council District 29 and overlaps 32. Council Member Joann Ariola co-sponsored Int 1362‑2025 to strip the city’s master plan of benchmarks for protected bike and bus lanes — the very projects that guard people outside cars (NYC Council Legistar). Council Member Lynn C. Schulman is not listed on that bill. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar voted yes to extend safer school speed zones (S 8344) this year, backing measures that protect children on their walk to class (vote noted in our timeline).

Some officials still fight proven tools. “I don’t believe it will work, in fact I believe it will make the city more unmanageable to travel through,” Council Member Ariola said of congestion pricing in 2022 (Gothamist). The crashes did not wait.

What to do now

  • Lower speeds on local streets. Use Sammy’s Law authority to set more 20 MPH zones where people are hurt.
  • Pass S 4045 so repeat speeders can’t keep breaking the limit.
  • Build and keep protected bike and bus lanes, not hollow them out.

A man died on 130th Street. The next one is preventable. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Start here: /take_action/.

Katz Calls Prosecution Safety-Boosting Step Toward Accountability

Sep 21 - A driver was arraigned on manslaughter and assault charges after a hit-and-run killed an on-duty construction flag worker on the Nassau Expressway. Prosecutors say the case seeks accountability for dangerous driving; the worker did not survive.

"A driver who allegedly ran down a safety flag worker at a construction site in Queens last week, killing her, was arraigned on manslaughter and a list of other charges, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Sunday." -- Melinda R. Katz

This is not a council bill. Matter: "Queens DA: Motorist arraigned after hit-and-run collision that left on-duty construction worker dead on Nassau Expressway." Event date: 2025-09-21. Status: defendant Daveanand Budhai arraigned on second-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault charges after the fatal collision. Queens District Attorney Melinda R. Katz announced the indictment and pushed for prosecution. No council committee or councilmember sponsorship applies; Barbara Russo-Lennon is listed as the reporting source. Safety impact: prosecutors say accountability can deter dangerous driving — "Prosecuting a hit-and-run driver signals accountability for dangerous driving, which can deter similar behavior and support a culture of safety for vulnerable road users. However, without complementary infrastructure or systemic changes, the impact is likely modest."
