Before sunrise at Veterans and Bloomingdale
Staten Island CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 8, 2025
Just after 2 AM at Veterans Road E and Bloomingdale Road, a driver in a 2024 Mazda SUV hit a 66-year-old woman in the crosswalk. She died there at the intersection. Source.
She is one of 3 people walking killed in Staten Island Community Board 3 since 2022, and one of 19 people killed on its streets in that time. Source.

- On Sep 23, at Miles Avenue and Daleham Street, a sedan and pickup collided; a 30-year-old driver was injured. Source
- On Sep 15, at Sinclair Avenue and Carlton Boulevard, a driver in a 2023 SUV hit an 11-year-old on a bike; the child was hurt. Source
Hylan at Bay: years of harm
Hylan Boulevard is the top corridor for injuries here, with 142 people hurt and 5 deaths since 2022. Arthur Kill Road has 99 injured and 1 death. Richmond Avenue has 75 injured and 1 death. These are the places where people keep getting hit. Source.
Evenings bite hardest. Around 8 PM, this area saw four deaths, the most for any hour. Crashes do not spare mornings or afternoons; the toll runs all day. Source.
Named driver errors show up in the record. Police logged failure to yield and driver inattention in local crashes that hurt people walking and biking. Source.
The turn, the light, the body
At Arden Avenue and Stafford Avenue, a driver making a left in a 2017 sedan hit a 20-year-old on an e‑bike and cut his face; police recorded failure to yield. Source.
At Amboy Road and Fisher Avenue, an 84-year-old man walking was killed. Police noted driver inattention. Source.
At Hylan Boulevard and Seguine Avenue, a driver in a pickup turned left and killed a 62-year-old man in the crosswalk; police recorded failure to yield. Source.
Fix the corners that keep killing
Start with the hot spots. Daylight the sightlines and harden left turns at Hylan Boulevard intersections like Seguine Avenue. Add leading pedestrian intervals and protection at Page Avenue and Richmond Valley Road, where a 19-year-old crossing with the signal was badly hurt. Source.
Keep truck turns tight and slow on Arthur Kill Road. Target evening enforcement where the deaths stack up around 8 PM. Source.
Who voted to slow cars—and who didn’t
Council Member Frank Morano sponsored a bill to force prompt fixes to broken street furniture—small things that keep people on foot safer. City record.
In Albany, the record is mixed. State Senator Andrew Lanza voted yes in one committee, then voted no a day later on the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045)—a bill to require speed‑limiters for repeat violators. June 11 vote; June 12 vote.
Assembly Member Mike Reilly opposed renewing New York City’s 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras—a proven tool that reduces speeding where they operate. Record of opposition.
Slow the speed. Stop the repeats.
The fixes are not theory. Lower the citywide speed limit and put speed‑limiters on cars that rack up camera tickets. Both tools are on the table now. Ask City Hall for the first and Albany for the second. Then go where the harm is and fix the turns and crossings that keep breaking bodies.
Do one thing today. Tell your lawmakers to act: /take_action/.

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.

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.

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.
