Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB11?
Ten Dead in Queens: Politicians Talk, Pedestrians Die
Queens CB11: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Ten people killed. Twenty-two left with serious injuries. That is the cost of traffic violence in Queens CB11 since 2022. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or habit. They only climb.
Just last month, a 74-year-old man was killed crossing at Northern Boulevard and 217th Street. The driver, behind the wheel of a 2017 SUV, was unlicensed. The man died at the intersection. There is no comfort in the details. There is only the fact of his absence. NYC Open Data
On December 24th, a 56-year-old man was crushed and killed as a pedestrian on the Clearview Expressway. The crash was blamed on a driver following too closely, on a slippery road. The man did not make it home for Christmas. NYC Open Data
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and older adults bear the brunt. Of the ten killed, three were over 65. One was under 18. The streets do not forgive. SUVs and sedans do most of the damage—four deaths by cars, none by bikes. The numbers are not just numbers. They are mothers, fathers, children.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
State Senator John Liu has voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders, requiring speed-limiting devices for those with a pattern of violations. He co-sponsored the bill, and he voted yes in committee. This is a step. But the deaths keep coming. Council Member Linda Lee, Assembly Member Ed Braunstein, and others have supported extending school speed zones. It is not enough.
“We have created a new framework to give this space back to our school children,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodríguez as the city expanded car-free school streets. The city is moving, but not fast enough. The blood dries before the paint does.
What You Can Do
This is not fate. It is policy. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders. Join Families for Safe Streets and Transportation Alternatives. Stand with the families who have lost. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
