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/.

NYPD Targets Cyclists With Ticket Surge▸Jul 23 - Police flood cyclists with criminal summonses. Nearly 6,000 tickets in months. Riders face courts for minor moves. Cars escape harsher scrutiny. Streets stay dangerous. Frustration mounts.
ABC7 reported on July 23, 2025, that NYPD issued nearly 6,000 tickets to cyclists in recent months, up from 561 earlier in the year. These are not simple fines but criminal summonses, forcing court appearances for violations like riding the wrong way or in bus lanes. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "New Yorkers are telling us that even as crime falls, that they still don't feel safe." Critics, including Transportation Alternatives, argue that cyclists face harsher penalties than drivers, with Charlie Baker noting, "A 50-pound bike gets a criminal court date, a 6,000-pound car gets a ticket." The crackdown highlights enforcement gaps and calls for more protected bike lanes and better regulation of delivery vehicles.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "New Yorkers are telling us that even as crime falls, that they still don't feel safe."

Aug 7 - A Streetsblog analysis urges U.S. cities to borrow Canadian enforcement: speed cameras, anti‑distraction laws, stronger seat‑belt rules. Study ties those laws to fewer deaths. Equity, policing, and lack of infrastructure constrain benefits for pedestrians and cyclists.
""The United States is really falling behind in terms of improving crash safety outcomes on roads for, drivers, vulnerable road users all road users, really,"" -- Charles Fall
No bill number. Status: policy proposal published Aug 7, 2025 in Streetsblog NYC. Committee: none. Key date: Aug 7, 2025. The piece is titled "Northern Disclosure: Canada’s Road Laws Could Help U.S. Lives." Author Kea Wilson frames a study saying thousands of U.S. lives might have been saved with more Canadian‑style enforcement. Assembly member Charles Fall is mentioned as considering those strategies; there is no vote or sponsorship recorded. Experts quoted include Rebecca Weast. Safety analysts note: Canadian‑style enforcement correlates with lower deaths, but equity concerns, risks of over‑policing, and missing infrastructure limit population‑level gains for pedestrians and cyclists; enforcement alone won’t shift modes.

Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

ABC7 reported on July 23, 2025, that NYPD issued nearly 6,000 tickets to cyclists in recent months, up from 561 earlier in the year.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "New Yorkers are telling us that even as crime falls, that they still don't feel safe."

The crackdown highlights enforcement gaps and calls for more protected bike lanes and better regulation of delivery vehicles.

NYPD Targets Cyclists With Ticket Surge▸Jul 23 - Police flood cyclists with criminal summonses. Nearly 6,000 tickets in months. Riders face courts for minor moves. Cars escape harsher scrutiny. Streets stay dangerous. Frustration mounts.
ABC7 reported on July 23, 2025, that NYPD issued nearly 6,000 tickets to cyclists in recent months, up from 561 earlier in the year. These are not simple fines but criminal summonses, forcing court appearances for violations like riding the wrong way or in bus lanes. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "New Yorkers are telling us that even as crime falls, that they still don't feel safe." Critics, including Transportation Alternatives, argue that cyclists face harsher penalties than drivers, with Charlie Baker noting, "A 50-pound bike gets a criminal court date, a 6,000-pound car gets a ticket." The crackdown highlights enforcement gaps and calls for more protected bike lanes and better regulation of delivery vehicles.

ABC7 reported on July 23, 2025, that NYPD issued nearly 6,000 tickets to cyclists in recent months, up from 561 earlier in the year. These are not simple fines but criminal summonses, forcing court appearances for violations like riding the wrong way or in bus lanes. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said, "New Yorkers are telling us that even as crime falls, that they still don't feel safe." Critics, including Transportation Alternatives, argue that cyclists face harsher penalties than drivers, with Charlie Baker noting, "A 50-pound bike gets a criminal court date, a 6,000-pound car gets a ticket." The crackdown highlights enforcement gaps and calls for more protected bike lanes and better regulation of delivery vehicles.
