Night on the Cross Island. Another life gone.

Queens CB11: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 31, 2025

Just after 2 AM on Aug 26, 2025, a 24-year-old driving a 1999 BMW died on the Cross Island Parkway near Bell Boulevard. Police said the passenger ran from the scene. Patch and city crash records mark the time and place. The city’s data logs unsafe speed in the fatal file. NYC Open Data

They were one of 12 people killed in crashes in Queens CB11 since 2022, with 2,289 injured in 4,163 crashes. NYC Open Data

The pattern does not let up

This year through Aug 31, crashes rose to 951, up 29.4% from 735 at this point last year. Reported injuries climbed from 467 to 527. Deaths went from 0 to 3. NYC Open Data

Deaths hit at all hours. The log shows lives lost at 2 AM, 3 AM, 5 AM—and again in the evening and night. NYC Open Data

Highways cut through; people pay

The deadliest spots here are the highways that slice the district. The Cross Island Parkway leads the list, with the Long Island Expressway and the Clearview Expressway close behind. NYC Open Data

One crash file says it plain: a left turn SUV struck a person on Northern Boulevard at 217th Street on Jun 11, 2025. A 74-year-old pedestrian died. The driver was unlicensed. NYC Open Data

On Jul 31, 2025, a 55-year-old woman on an e‑bike was killed at Hollis Court Boulevard and 50th Avenue. The turning SUV made contact at the right front quarter panel. NYC Open Data

Slow down or bury more neighbors

Unsafe speed shows up in the fatal Cross Island file. The district’s logs also list driver inattention, failure to yield, and red‑light running. Each line is a body, a family, a street corner. NYC Open Data

Two fixes are on the table now.

  • The city can set safer speeds on local streets. We need a default 20 MPH and traffic‑calming to match. See our call to action here.
  • Albany can force the worst speeders to slow down. In the Senate, S 4045 would require repeat violators to install intelligent speed assistance. Senator John Liu co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee. Senator Toby Stavisky also voted yes. Open States

At City Hall, a different bill would go the other way. Council Member Vickie Paladino introduced Int 1362‑2025 to erase protected bike and bus lane targets from the Streets Master Plan. As the official summary says, “This bill would remove the bus lane and bike lane quotas from the Streets Master Plan.NYC Council – Legistar

Queens CB11 is represented by Council Member Linda Lee, Assembly Member Ed Braunstein, and Senator John Liu. Braunstein backed the school‑zone speed camera extension this June. The record here does not show his stance on the Assembly companion to S 4045. Open States

Make the dangerous turns safe

Northern Boulevard needs hardened turns and daylighting at side streets like 217th Street. Turning SUVs killed and injured people there. Hollis Court and 50th Avenue need a protected bike crossing and leading pedestrian/bike intervals. Along the Cross Island Parkway ramps, slow entries and better crossings can keep people alive.

The BMW on the Cross Island. The e‑bike on Hollis Court. The man at Northern. The list grows. The fixes wait.

Act now. Tell your lawmakers to slow the cars and stop the repeat speeders. Start here.
