Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB9?
Queens Streets Bleed—Policy Is the Weapon
Queens CB9: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 13, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Blood
Three years. Eleven dead. Nineteen left with wounds that will never heal. In Queens CB9, the numbers do not lie. Since 2022, cars and trucks have hit and killed 11 people. Nineteen more were left with serious injuries. The pain is not spread evenly. Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt. The old, the young, the ones just trying to cross the street.
Just this June, a 66-year-old man was killed at the corner of 116th Street and 101st Avenue. In March, two men—one 67, one 31—were struck and killed on Atlantic Avenue. The street does not care about age. It does not care about time of day. It only takes.
The Human Cost
A brother stands at the curb, staring at the spot where his sibling died. “He was always happy. He would make you happy. He would make happy any person in the world,” said Avelardo Venancio. The grief is raw. The loss is permanent.
A witness, still shaken, remembers the moment. “Must have been going at least 60+ miles an hour just right through the stop sign and within seconds I heard the crash and screams and just dropped everything and ran over there, it was instant,” said George Giakoumis.
Speed is the weapon. The street is the scene. The victims are always the same.
Leadership: Progress and Delay
Some leaders have moved. State Senator Joe Addabbo voted yes to extend school speed zones and to curb repeat speeders with mandatory speed-limiting devices. Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar called out the crisis as “traffic violence” and demanded stronger city control over speed limits and cameras. But others drag their feet or vote no. Each delay is another risk, another life in the balance.
What Next? No More Waiting
This is not fate. This is policy. Every day without action is a day someone else may die. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders. Join Transportation Alternatives or Families for Safe Streets. Do not wait for another name on the list.
Act now. The street will not wait.
