Left turns, broken bodies: Staten Island CB1’s silent toll

Left turns, broken bodies: Staten Island CB1’s silent toll

Staten Island CB1: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 20, 2025

On Sep 12, 2025, a left‑turning driver hit a 13‑year‑old on a bike.

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Staten Island CB1, 20 people have been killed and 3,660 injured in 7,269 crashes (NYC Open Data). Nine of the dead were people walking; one was a person on a bike (NYC Open Data).

Forest Avenue keeps bleeding

Forest Avenue leads this district’s pain, with crashes that left people injured and dead. The board’s own hotspot list includes Forest Avenue and Jewett Avenue, each recording fatalities over this period (NYC Open Data). Police reports cite drivers disregarding traffic controls in crashes that killed two people, and failure to yield in crashes that hurt many others in CB1 (NYC Open Data).

Late turns. Fast approaches. People outside cars pay.

One night in Port Richmond

In Port Richmond, a 13‑year‑old on a moped collided with an MTA bus on Castleton Avenue around 1 AM on Aug 5; he was left in critical condition with a head injury (ABC7; amNY). As amNY noted, the DMV says, “The requirements to operate a moped are like those for motorcycles” (amNY).

Two streets. Two teens. Different vehicles. The same hard ground.

What leaders did — and didn’t — do

School‑zone speed cameras were reauthorized this summer, but Staten Island’s state delegation split. Senators Andrew Lanza and Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton voted no; Assembly Member Charles Fall voted yes (Streetsblog NYC).

On the bill to rein in repeat speeders with intelligent speed assistance (S 4045), Lanza voted yes in committee on Jun 11, then voted no on Jun 12; Scarcella‑Spanton voted yes on Jun 12 (Open States: S 4045). What changed?

Fix what we already know is broken

Here, the pattern is plain. People walking die most often. Turning drivers and traffic‑control violations show up in the worst outcomes. Forest Avenue and Jewett Avenue carry grief.

Simple fixes exist:

  • Harden left turns and add daylighting at Forest Avenue and Jewett Avenue.
  • Install leading pedestrian intervals and paint refuge at major crossings.
  • Target camera and officer enforcement at repeat hotspots.

Citywide, two steps would cut the speed that kills:

  • Lower the default limit to 20 MPH under Sammy’s Law.
  • Pass and enforce the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) to fit known repeat offenders with speed limiters (Open States: S 4045).

The next siren will sound on a corner we already know. Push the city to act. Start here: /take_action/.
