Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB9?
Queens Bleeds While Leaders Stall: End Street Deaths Now
Queens CB9: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Toll on Our Streets
Three dead. Over 400 injured. That’s just this year in Queens CB9. These are not just numbers—they are bodies on the pavement, families left with empty chairs. In the last twelve months, five people suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. Eleven have died since 2022. The dead do not get second chances.
Last month, a sedan struck a pedestrian on 131st Street. In June, another walker was hit at 101st Avenue and 116th Street. The pattern does not break. It only repeats. Cars and trucks did most of the damage—five killed, hundreds hurt. Trucks turned, sedans sped, and people bled. The street does not care if you are young or old. It takes all the same.
Leadership: Votes and Silence
Some leaders act. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar called the carnage what it is: “traffic violence,” and demanded the city take control of speed limits and cameras. State Senator Joe Addabbo voted yes to extend school speed zones—a move that protects children at the curb. These are steps, not solutions. The blood still runs.
But not all stand with the vulnerable. Council Member Joann Ariola voted against expanding speed cameras. She called them a burden, even as her own car racked up 27 school zone speeding tickets. The cameras work. The votes say who matters.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is a choice made upstream. Lower the speed limit. Expand cameras. Take the keys from repeat offenders. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call until the killing stops.
“I wish they would never have given him that car. I wish they would never think about giving him that car—because if they didn’t give him that car, my daughter would still be here right now,” said Keisha Francis, after her 14-year-old was killed by an unlicensed teen driver. The grief is bottomless. The fix is not.
Demand action. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Weprin Opposes Congestion Pricing Citing Traffic and Pollution▸Lower East Side residents and Councilman Holden sued to block the $15 congestion toll. They claim it will push traffic to the FDR, worsen air, and hurt businesses. The MTA defends the plan, citing traffic relief and transit funding.
On January 17, 2024, Councilman Robert F. Holden (District 30) joined a lawsuit challenging the MTA’s $15 congestion pricing policy. The legal action, filed by Lower East Side residents, business owners, and elected officials, claims the toll will create a traffic nightmare and worsen pollution by diverting cars to the FDR Drive. The suit argues the MTA and federal government failed to conduct an adequate environmental review and did not consider impacts on local businesses or vulnerable residents. The matter summary reads: 'Lower East Side residents sue MTA over $15 congestion toll, claiming it will create a traffic nightmare.' Holden’s involvement signals council opposition. The MTA maintains the program, approved in 2019, will cut congestion and fund transit upgrades. No independent safety analysis for vulnerable road users was provided.
