The toll on these blocks

Since Jan 1, 2022, Queens CB14 has recorded 11 people killed and 1,652 injured in traffic crashes. Pedestrians account for most deaths here: 8 of 11. Beach Channel Drive leads the harm, with 3 deaths and 195 injuries; Cross Bay Boulevard follows with 2 deaths and 30 injuries. Injuries surge in the late day—about 4 PM has 129 injuries tallied in this period. Open Data

Police reports point to familiar failings on local corners: left turns and failure to yield show up again and again, including at Redfern and Beach 11 and at Newport and Beach 119. Open Data

Corners that don’t forgive

Beach Channel Drive is a long wound. People die there. People get hurt there. Cross Bay Boulevard is next on the list. These are not secrets; they are addresses. Open Data

The fixes are not mysteries. Daylight every crosswalk so turning drivers see people sooner. Harden left turns and add leading walk signals on Beach Channel Drive and Cross Bay Boulevard. Build protected crossings and calm speeds at Redfern and Beach 11, Newport and Beach 119, and the other repeat sites. Open Data

Power sits with people in office

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards already put words to a deadly corridor nearby: “The current state of the Conduit falls significantly short… it’s poorly designed … and the lack of sufficient pedestrian and bike infrastructure makes it even more dangerous,” he said when the city finally agreed to study a redesign. Streetsblog NYC

Here in CB14, Council Member Selvena N. Brooks-Powers backed the city’s greenway master plan and later co-sponsored a bill to ban parking at corners to protect sight lines. AMNY Council file

Across overlapping District 32, Council Member Joann Ariola co-sponsored a bill to strip out bus and bike lane benchmarks from the Streets Master Plan. Council file

In Albany, State Senator James Sanders voted yes in committee on the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) to require speed limiters for repeat violators. Open States

Assembly Districts overlap here. One local Assembly Member, Stacey Pheffer Amato (AD 23), voted no on reauthorizing school speed cameras this year, a program with a proven safety record. Streetsblog NYC

Slow the cars. Stop the repeat offenders.

The policy path is plain. Lower the default speed limit across the city. Lock repeat speeders out of dangerous speeds with mandatory limiters under S4045. The city has used speed cuts and design on other corridors to bring deaths down; Queens Boulevard’s redesign cut fatalities by 68%. AMNY

The woman hit at Redfern and Beach 11 was in the crosswalk. The driver turned and failed to yield, police said. The next turn does not have to be like this. Open Data

Take one step now: tell City Hall and Albany to act. /take_action/

S 7785 Anderson votes yes to weaken bus rules, increasing pedestrian and cyclist risk.

Jun 16 - Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
