Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens CB12?
Eight Dead, No Answers: Queens Streets Demand Action Now
Queens CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Death Count Rises
Eight dead. Twenty seriously hurt. That’s the toll in Queens CB12 in the past year. These are not just numbers. They are people. A man, 62, crushed by an SUV on Linden Boulevard. A 19-year-old, thrown from his moped, killed on 90th Avenue. A woman, 45, struck crossing 111th Avenue on Christmas night. Each one gone. Each one leaves a hole.
Just last week, a 23-year-old man was run down on 101st Street and Liberty Boulevard. Police said, “Sonalall approached the driver’s side window and flashed what appeared to be a gun, startling the motorist to the point that he drove off, striking the menace” (New York Post). The DA filed no charges. The street is quiet again. The loss remains.
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Young
Most deaths come from cars and SUVs. In three years, 21 people died, 44 were seriously hurt, and over 5,300 were injured in 8,848 crashes (NYC Open Data). SUVs and sedans did most of the killing. Young men, old women, children—no one is spared. The dead are not just numbers. They are neighbors.
A mother’s words echo after her daughter’s death: “I wish they would never have given him that car. I wish they would never think about giving him that car—because if they didn’t give him that car, my daughter would still be here right now” (Gothamist).
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Local leaders have taken some steps. Senator Leroy Comrie voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed limiters (Open States). Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman voted to extend school speed zones. But the carnage continues. There is no citywide 20 mph limit. There are no new safe crossings. There is no end to the waiting.
The Cost of Waiting
Every day of delay is another risk. The streets do not forgive. The dead do not return. The city has the power to lower speed limits now. The law is on the books. The leaders have the phone lines. The families have the grief.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit and real protection for people who walk and bike. The time for waiting is over. The next name on the list could be someone you love.

Comrie Seeks Clarity on Queens Bus Redesign Confusion▸MTA plans $30 million for Queens bus overhaul. Eight new routes. More frequent service for thousands. Stops spaced farther apart.

The MTA’s Queens Bus Network Redesign, announced December 12, 2023, proposes $30 million in service upgrades and expands local routes from 83 to 91. The plan, under review since 2020, aims to boost 10-minute-or-better service for 200,000 more residents, raising coverage from 60.1% to 68.9%.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, once critical, now supports the draft after public outreach. State Senator Leroy Comrie noted Brooks-Powers wants clarity for her community, not outright rejection. The redesign awaits further input and is expected no sooner than 2025. No safety analyst has assessed the impact on vulnerable road users.
