Staten Island Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Staten Island CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
In the last twelve months, eight people died and over a thousand were hurt on the streets of Staten Island CB2. Ten suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. The dead include children, elders, and workers. The living carry scars. Since 2022, there have been 11 deaths and 2,574 injuries in this district alone. The disaster moves slow, but it does not stop.
Recent Crashes: No End in Sight
Just last month, a 13-year-old boy was thrown from his moped and left with a shattered skull after colliding with an MTA bus at Castleton and Park Avenues. The crash happened just before dawn. The boy was left on the pavement, bleeding, while the bus driver and passengers walked away unscathed. Police said, “the moped went through a stop sign without stopping and hit the bus” (amNY). The investigation drags on. No arrests. No answers.
A week earlier, a 16-year-old riding an e-scooter died after colliding with a Hyundai Tucson. The police said only that he suffered head trauma. His name was Nacere Ellis. He will not see seventeen. The NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad is still reviewing the case (The Brooklyn Paper).
Pedestrians, cyclists, and children pay the price.
Leadership: Votes Against Safety
Local leaders have not met the moment. State Senator Andrew Lanza and Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo both voted against renewing New York City’s school zone speed camera program—a tool proven to cut speeding and save lives (Streetsblog NYC). When asked about the confusion and carnage on Hylan Boulevard, Borough President Vito Fossella said, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane in order to make a right-hand turn” (amNY). The signs are unclear. The danger is not.
Bills that could force repeat speeders to slow down have stalled. The Stop Super Speeders Act would require the worst offenders to install speed-limiting devices (Open States). Local leaders have not delivered.
The Call: Demand Action Now
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street. Call your council member. Call your state senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras at every school. Demand real consequences for repeat offenders. Do not wait for another child to die.

City Crushes Illegal Mopeds In Staten Island▸Jun 12 - Bulldozers flattened over 200 illegal mopeds. Smoke rose. Officials watched. The city sent a message: no more unregistered, reckless machines on the streets. The crackdown aims to clear danger from crosswalks and sidewalks. The threat to walkers lingers.
amNY reported on June 12, 2025, that New York City officials destroyed more than 200 illegal mopeds in Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the event, where a Sanitation Department bulldozer crushed the vehicles. Adams said, 'New Yorkers have strong feelings about illegal mopeds and scooters, especially when they are driving the wrong way down streets or sidewalks or in the dark without lights.' The city links these vehicles to traffic violations and crimes, including robberies and reckless riding. Since Adams took office, police have removed about 62,000 illegal vehicles, aiming to reduce hazards for pedestrians. NYPD data shows a 57% drop in moped-related crime in 2025. The crackdown highlights the city's push to address systemic dangers posed by unregulated vehicles.

City Crushes Illegal Mopeds In Staten Island▸Jun 12 - Bulldozers flattened over 200 illegal mopeds. Smoke rose. Officials watched. The city sent a message: no more unregistered, reckless machines on the streets. The crackdown aims to clear danger from crosswalks and sidewalks. The threat to walkers lingers.
amNY reported on June 12, 2025, that New York City officials destroyed more than 200 illegal mopeds in Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the event, where a Sanitation Department bulldozer crushed the vehicles. Adams said, 'New Yorkers have strong feelings about illegal mopeds and scooters, especially when they are driving the wrong way down streets or sidewalks or in the dark without lights.' The city links these vehicles to traffic violations and crimes, including robberies and reckless riding. Since Adams took office, police have removed about 62,000 illegal vehicles, aiming to reduce hazards for pedestrians. NYPD data shows a 57% drop in moped-related crime in 2025. The crackdown highlights the city's push to address systemic dangers posed by unregulated vehicles.

City Crushes Illegal Mopeds In Staten Island▸Jun 12 - Bulldozers flattened over 200 illegal mopeds. Smoke rose. Officials watched. The city sent a message: no more unregistered, reckless machines on the streets. The crackdown aims to clear danger from crosswalks and sidewalks. The threat to walkers lingers.
amNY reported on June 12, 2025, that New York City officials destroyed more than 200 illegal mopeds in Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the event, where a Sanitation Department bulldozer crushed the vehicles. Adams said, 'New Yorkers have strong feelings about illegal mopeds and scooters, especially when they are driving the wrong way down streets or sidewalks or in the dark without lights.' The city links these vehicles to traffic violations and crimes, including robberies and reckless riding. Since Adams took office, police have removed about 62,000 illegal vehicles, aiming to reduce hazards for pedestrians. NYPD data shows a 57% drop in moped-related crime in 2025. The crackdown highlights the city's push to address systemic dangers posed by unregulated vehicles.

City Crushes Illegal Mopeds In Staten Island▸Jun 12 - Bulldozers flattened over 200 illegal mopeds. Smoke rose. Officials watched. The city sent a message: no more unregistered, reckless machines on the streets. The crackdown aims to clear danger from crosswalks and sidewalks. The threat to walkers lingers.
amNY reported on June 12, 2025, that New York City officials destroyed more than 200 illegal mopeds in Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the event, where a Sanitation Department bulldozer crushed the vehicles. Adams said, 'New Yorkers have strong feelings about illegal mopeds and scooters, especially when they are driving the wrong way down streets or sidewalks or in the dark without lights.' The city links these vehicles to traffic violations and crimes, including robberies and reckless riding. Since Adams took office, police have removed about 62,000 illegal vehicles, aiming to reduce hazards for pedestrians. NYPD data shows a 57% drop in moped-related crime in 2025. The crackdown highlights the city's push to address systemic dangers posed by unregulated vehicles.

City Crushes Illegal Mopeds In Staten Island▸Jun 12 - Bulldozers flattened over 200 illegal mopeds. Smoke rose. Officials watched. The city sent a message: no more unregistered, reckless machines on the streets. The crackdown aims to clear danger from crosswalks and sidewalks. The threat to walkers lingers.
amNY reported on June 12, 2025, that New York City officials destroyed more than 200 illegal mopeds in Staten Island. Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch oversaw the event, where a Sanitation Department bulldozer crushed the vehicles. Adams said, 'New Yorkers have strong feelings about illegal mopeds and scooters, especially when they are driving the wrong way down streets or sidewalks or in the dark without lights.' The city links these vehicles to traffic violations and crimes, including robberies and reckless riding. Since Adams took office, police have removed about 62,000 illegal vehicles, aiming to reduce hazards for pedestrians. NYPD data shows a 57% drop in moped-related crime in 2025. The crackdown highlights the city's push to address systemic dangers posed by unregulated vehicles.
