Queens CB12: Crosswalk hits, night deaths, and a stalled fix
Queens CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 5, 2025
Aug 6, 2024 at Bedell Street and Baisley Boulevard, the driver of a bus turned left and killed a woman who was crossing with the signal while the driver failed to yield, police recorded (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4746187).
They were one of 28 people killed and 7,226 injured on the streets of Queens Community Board 12 since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
Corners that don’t forgive
- Belt Parkway slices through the district. It leads the toll with 5 deaths and 216 injuries (NYC Open Data).
- Hillside Avenue logs 85 injuries; Francis Lewis Boulevard shows a death and 30 injuries. Merrick Boulevard has 212 injuries (NYC Open Data).
Police reports list what keeps happening: drivers disregard signals, fail to yield, or look away. In this district, those records include at least 2 deaths tied to disregarding traffic control, 1 to failure to yield, and 1 to distraction, with dozens more injured under each cause (NYC Open Data).
Nights and rush hours hurt
The bodies stack at the edges of the day. Four people died around 3 AM, and four more around 5 AM. Evenings also spike — 6 to 9 PM shows multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries (NYC Open Data).
People walking bear the brunt. Drivers of SUVs and cars account for most pedestrian harm recorded here — SUVs in 379 pedestrian injury cases with 7 deaths, sedans in 562 with 2 deaths (NYC Open Data).
The tools and the stall
City Hall says safety comes first. “The safety of pedestrians and all street users remains a top priority for Speaker Adams and the council,” her office said when asked about the daylighting bill to clear sightlines at corners (AMNY). The same bill has majority support, but the Speaker has not brought it to a vote (Streetsblog).
In this district, Council Member Nantasha M. Williams is pushing a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025) that orders maximum penalties. Analysts warn it leans on policing, not design or operations fixes that reduce crashes (NYC Council Legistar). Corners like Hillside and Francis Lewis need sightlines, hardened turns, and slower lefts. The bill doesn’t deliver those.
Albany has moved on one proven lever: 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras were renewed through 2030, with local legislators on board — votes recorded for State Senator Leroy Comrie, State Senator James Sanders Jr., Assembly Member Vivian Cook, and Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman (Open States). Another lever sits on the table: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045). Senator Comrie co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (Open States). It would force the worst repeat speeders to use speed limiters.
What would help here
- Daylight the corners on Hillside Avenue, Francis Lewis Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard — clear the parking at crosswalks and add hard barriers at priority intersections (Streetsblog).
- Protect left turns where the bodies fall: use hardened turn treatments and leading pedestrian intervals at Bedell/Baisley and other repeat‑hit spots documented in district data (NYC Open Data).
- Back the speed‑limiter bill in Albany and push City Hall to lower speeds on local streets, as advocates lay out on our Take Action page.
The woman on Baisley had the signal. The bus turned anyway. Fix the corners. Slow the cars. Act now: Take Action.
