Four pedestrians hit in two days. One board. One story: crossings that don’t forgive.
Staten Island CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 27, 2025

This Week
- On Richmond Road at Narrows Road South, a driver in an SUV turned left and hit a 23-year-old man who was crossing with the signal. Police cited an obstructed view. Source
- On Richmond Avenue at Morani Street, a driver in an SUV turned right and hit a 40-year-old man in the crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield. Source
- On Richmond Road at Ralph Place, a driver in a sedan turned left and hit a 67-year-old man crossing in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield. Source
The pattern doesn’t blink
Since 2022, this community board has seen 17 people killed and 3,331 injured in crashes. Among them: 9 people walking killed and 431 injured. Data.
Crashes are nearly flat this year, but harm is not. Year to date, crashes are down 1.3%, while deaths rose from 2 to 5 and injuries climbed 32.1% compared to last year. Data.
Night brings the worst funerals. The single deadliest hour is about 10 PM, with four deaths. Early morning around 4 AM follows close behind. Data.
Trucks and buses hit hard. They are linked to 5 pedestrian deaths here since 2022. Data.
Corners that keep breaking people
Hylan Boulevard leads the board in severity, with four deaths and 154 injuries on its length. The Staten Island Expressway corridor shows two deaths and 390 injuries. Richmond Road racks up 145 injuries. These are not secrets. They are addresses. Data.
Police reports in recent pedestrian crashes here show the same words: failure to yield, inattention, disregarded signals. These aren’t storms. They are choices at the wheel. Data.
On Hylan, even the signs sow danger. Borough President Vito Fossella said the bus lane postings led drivers to turn from the middle lane, adding, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” amNY.
Fix what we can touch now
At the corners named above, the city can harden turns, add daylighting, and give leading pedestrian intervals at signals so people start first. Nighttime enforcement at the known deadly hours belongs where the deaths cluster. Truck routes should keep heavy vehicles off streets where people cross to the bus or the bodega.
The votes and the void
Albany renewed 24-hour school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, but some Staten Island officials opposed them. State Senator Andrew Lanza and Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo were called out among city pols who voted against the program’s reauthorization. Streetsblog NYC.
There is a bill to stop the worst repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) would require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up violations. Senator Lanza voted yes in committee on Jun 11, then no in a later vote on Jun 12. Open States.
Slow the cars. Stop the repeats.
The city can lower speeds and redesign the turns. Albany can mandate speed limiters for repeat offenders. CB2’s recent week tells you why.
Take one step today. Tell your officials to back lower speeds and pass the speed‑limiter bill. Start here.

Lanza Opposes MTA Leadership and Congestion Pricing Fees▸Jan 8 - Republican lawmakers blasted MTA chief Janno Lieber. They called for his resignation. They slammed the new $9 congestion toll. They dismissed claims of safer subways. They warned of more taxes. Riders and walkers remain caught in the crossfire.
""We are asking for something that we believe is very necessary for the well-being of the people of the state of New York, especially for those who live in the MTA region. We believe that under these circumstances it is very warranted."" -- Andrew Lanza
On January 8, 2025, Republican state legislators, including Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick (District 9), held a press conference demanding the resignation of Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chair Janno Lieber. The lawmakers, joined by Senators Steven Rhoads and Bill Weber, criticized Lieber for 'losing the trust of commuters' and downplaying subway crime. They condemned the new $9 congestion pricing toll for Midtown, with Weber calling it 'tone deaf' and demanding repeal. The event summary reads: 'GOP pols push MTA boss to resign after brushing off transit crime as New York braces for even more taxes, fees.' The lawmakers oppose further taxes and fees to close the MTA’s $33 billion gap. No safety analyst assessed the impact on vulnerable road users. The debate leaves the city’s most exposed—pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders—uncertain and unprotected.

Jan 8 - Republican lawmakers blasted MTA chief Janno Lieber. They called for his resignation. They slammed the new $9 congestion toll. They dismissed claims of safer subways. They warned of more taxes. Riders and walkers remain caught in the crossfire.
""We are asking for something that we believe is very necessary for the well-being of the people of the state of New York, especially for those who live in the MTA region. We believe that under these circumstances it is very warranted."" -- Andrew Lanza
On January 8, 2025, Republican state legislators, including Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick (District 9), held a press conference demanding the resignation of Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chair Janno Lieber. The lawmakers, joined by Senators Steven Rhoads and Bill Weber, criticized Lieber for 'losing the trust of commuters' and downplaying subway crime. They condemned the new $9 congestion pricing toll for Midtown, with Weber calling it 'tone deaf' and demanding repeal. The event summary reads: 'GOP pols push MTA boss to resign after brushing off transit crime as New York braces for even more taxes, fees.' The lawmakers oppose further taxes and fees to close the MTA’s $33 billion gap. No safety analyst assessed the impact on vulnerable road users. The debate leaves the city’s most exposed—pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders—uncertain and unprotected.
