Queens CB12: Crosswalks, sirens, and a ledger of loss

Queens CB12: Crosswalks, sirens, and a ledger of loss

Queens CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 26, 2025

Around noon on Oct 6 at Jamaica Ave and 171 St, a driver hit a 53‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal. Police recorded failure to yield and distraction by the driver. She suffered severe bleeding and went into shock (NYC Open Data).

In the past month, another person walking was killed on the Belt Parkway. He died just before dawn on Sep 12 (NYC Open Data).

Since Jan 1, 2022, Queens CB12 has recorded 28 deaths and 7,159 injuries in 11,966 crashes (NYC Open Data). This year to date: 9 dead and 1,581 injured, compared with 2 dead and 1,496 injured at this point last year (same source).

Corners that don’t forgive

The dead pile up at the same places. The Belt Parkway has seen 5 deaths and 216 injuries. Hillside Avenue tallied 82 injuries. Merrick Boulevard: 212 injuries (NYC Open Data).

Police reports in this district point to drivers who fail to yield and drivers who aren’t paying attention. Failure to yield is tied to deaths and dozens of injuries here; inattention shows the same pattern (NYC Open Data).

The worst hours hit when the city is thin. Deaths spike around 3–5 AM, then again around 8–9 PM, while injuries are constant through the afternoon rush (NYC Open Data).

Promises and delays at City Hall

Daylighting saves lives. The council has the bill to clear sightlines at corners citywide. It has the votes. It hasn’t moved. “Universal daylighting has majority support … Will Speaker Adams give it a vote?” asked one analysis in July (Streetsblog NYC). Speaker Adrienne Adams’ office said, “The safety of pedestrians and all street users remains a top priority … Intro. 1138 is going through the council’s legislative process” (AMNY).

Council Member Nantasha M. Williams is pushing a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025). The bill orders maximum penalties for every listed violation. Analysts warn it emphasizes punitive enforcement over safer operations or redesign, with risks for people who walk and bike (NYC Council Legistar).

Albany’s lever on repeat speeders

State Senator Leroy Comrie co‑sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) and voted yes in committee in June (Open States). The bill would force known repeat offenders to use speed limiters. Our own brief explains the standard: 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year triggers the device (Take Action).

Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman voted yes to extend the city’s speed‑camera program (S 8344) in June, keeping round‑the‑clock enforcement in school zones (Open States). Will she back the companion to the Super Speeders bill next?

Fix what’s killing us here

Clear the corners. Pass the daylighting bill and harden turns on Hillside Avenue and Merrick Boulevard. Give people crossing time with leading pedestrian intervals. Target the overnight hours where deaths stack up. These are standard tools the city already uses; this district’s map tells you where to put them (NYC Open Data).

And stop the worst drivers before they take another life. The Senate moved S 4045. The Assembly can finish the job.

One woman bled at Jamaica and 171. Another man died on the Belt. The fixes sit on desks. Act now: lower speeds and rein in repeat speeders. Start here.
