Queens Bleeds While Leaders Stall: Demand Safer Streets Now
Queens CB9: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025
The Toll on Flesh and Bone
In Queens CB9, the numbers do not bleed, but people do. In the last twelve months, 2 people died and 564 were injured in traffic crashes. Three suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. The dead do not get a second chance. The injured carry scars the city cannot count.
On a Friday morning in Woodhaven, a van veered out of control. Three men were stepping from a double-parked car. The van struck a parked car, which slammed into them. Zhihong Shi, 31, died at Jamaica Hospital. The other two, ages 67 and 48, survived. The van driver had a medical episode. No charges. No comfort. “Victim Zhihong Shi was exiting a double parked car with the two other victims… when the driver of a passing Ford Econoline van lost control of his wheel.”
A parked car is no shield. A delivery truck can hit and run, leaving the owner to fight for months. “He rams right into the side of the car,” said Jose DeAguiar. “He comes out, looks at it, shrugs his shoulders, and leaves. No note, nothing. No care for anyone else’s property.”
The Machinery of Harm
Cars and SUVs killed 4 people and seriously injured 2 in recent years. Trucks and buses killed 2. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left others bleeding. The street does not care who you are. It only matters what hits you, and how hard.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city talks of Vision Zero. There are new speed cameras, more intersection redesigns, and a law that could lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit has not dropped. The cameras are at risk of going dark if Albany does not act. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Promises echo. Streets stay the same.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Demand the city use its new power to lower speed limits. Tell Albany to keep the cameras on. Join those who fight for the living. Do not wait for another name on the list. Take action now.
