Queens Bleeds While Leaders Stall—How Many More Must Die?

Queens CB14: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 5, 2025

The Blood on the Asphalt

In Queens CB14, traffic violence does not let up. Since 2022, at least 11 people have died and 1,271 have been injured in crashes. Twelve suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. The numbers are not just numbers. They are mothers, children, neighbors. They are the sound of sirens at night. They are the silence that follows.

Just last week, two NYPD cruisers collided in Edgemere while racing to a call. Four officers went to the hospital. The news called it a crash, but it could have been worse. No bystanders died this time. Two police cruisers collided while responding to a call in the Rockaways. The street was left littered with glass and twisted metal.

The Most Vulnerable Pay the Price

Pedestrians and cyclists bear the brunt. Cars and SUVs killed seven. Trucks and buses killed one. Motorcycles and mopeds, none. Bikes, none. But the injuries add up. Cars and trucks caused 244 injuries to people on foot or bike. Motorcycles and mopeds, four. Bikes, four. Each number is a broken body, a life changed.

Children are not spared. In the last year, 42 people under 18 were hurt. One was killed. The old are not spared either. Eleven people over 75 were injured. One sharp turn, one missed stop, and a life is gone.

Leaders: Action and Inaction

Some leaders act. Some do not. State Senator James Sanders voted yes to curb repeat speeders. Assembly Member Khaleel Anderson voted to extend school speed zones, protecting children. But Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato voted no on speed cameras, a proven tool to slow drivers near schools. The silence is loud.

Council Member Selvena Brooks-Powers has called for more daylight at intersections, co-sponsoring a bill to ban parking near crosswalks. She said, “Historically in New York City in particular, the transportation system has had many barriers for communities that live in transportation deserts from reaching economic opportunity,” according to Streetsblog NYC.

The Next Step Is Yours

This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras at every school. Demand streets where a child can cross and live.

Do not wait for another siren. Act now.
