Hylan at Sharrott: another body, same road

Hylan at Sharrott: another body, same road

Staten Island CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025

Just after evening on Aug 31, at Hylan Boulevard and Sharrott Avenue, a 73‑year‑old driver bled from the head and lived. Police logged “driver inattention/distraction.” Open Data.

This Week:

  • Aug 27 at Arden and Amboy, a 14‑year‑old on an e‑bike was hit by a Jeep. He was ejected and injured. Open Data.
  • Aug 24 at Wainwright and Sylvia, a driver turning left hit a 77‑year‑old woman in the crosswalk. Police cited driver distraction. Open Data.
  • Jul 28 at Arthur Kill and Drumgoole West, a left‑turning SUV driver hit a 79‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal; police listed distraction and inexperience. Open Data.

CB3 has seen 3,107 crashes since Jan 1, 2022. Fourteen people are dead. 1,573 are hurt. Open Data.

The hours that take people

Deaths stack at night: 8 PM has three. 6 PM has two. Morning isn’t safe either: 10 AM has two. These are the hours when lives end on these streets. Open Data.

Police often write the same causes. Distraction. Failure to yield. In recent weeks they wrote “driver inattention/distraction” in the Wainwright case and again at Arthur Kill and Drumgoole West. Aug 24 case and Jul 28 case.

Hylan keeps drawing blood

Hylan Boulevard is a top trouble spot here, with four deaths and 110 injuries. Richmond Avenue follows. This is where people keep getting hit. Open Data.

On Hylan, even the signs add to the mess. “That’s one accident every four days,” Borough President Vito Fossella said of drivers turning from the wrong lane amid confusing bus‑lane hours. amNY.

Who is protecting whom?

The record is public. Senator Andrew Lanza voted yes in committee to curb repeat speeders, then voted no later. Streetsblog and Open States.

Assembly Member Mike Reilly voted no on the bill that fixed school speed zones. Open States and Streetsblog.

Council Member Frank Morano co‑sponsored a bill to let ambulettes use and block bus lanes, and another to make shared‑micromobility operators display safety rules. NYC Council Legistar entries for Int 1339‑2025 and Int 1304‑2025.

The fixes are known

Local streets need basics: daylighting at corners, hardened left turns at Hylan and Richmond, and clear, consistent bus‑lane signs and hours on Hylan. Targeted enforcement at the evening peaks would match when the deaths come. These steps follow patterns in the data. Open Data and amNY.

Citywide, we need lower speeds and real limits for the worst drivers. The tools exist. Use them. See how to push for a lower default speed and intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders here.

One man bleeding at Hylan and Sharrott is not an accident. It is part of a map. The next dot does not have to be yours. Act now: Take action.
