Staten Island Streets: Blood on Their Hands, Speed in Their Lanes

Staten Island CB95: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Numbers Behind the Silence

One dead. One seriously hurt. Fifty-one injured. These are not distant tragedies. They happened here, in Staten Island CB95, since 2022. The numbers do not flinch. They do not soften. They do not care if you look away. NYC Open Data

A man, 61, killed crossing at Lincoln Avenue and Capodanno Boulevard. An SUV. A moment. No second chance. NYC Open Data

Sixteen people hurt in the last year alone. No deaths this year, but the pain lingers. The wounds do not heal with the news cycle. NYC Open Data

Who Bears the Brunt

Pedestrians take the worst of it. In this district, cars and SUVs are the weapons. One killed. One left with serious injuries. No bikes. No motorcycles. Just steel and speed against flesh and bone. NYC Open Data

The old and the young are not spared. Injuries strike across ages: children, the elderly, the working. No one is immune. NYC Open Data

What Has Been Done—And What Has Not

Local leaders have tools. Sammy’s Law lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. The city can act. The council can act. The mayor can act. But the limit stands. The clock ticks. Take action

Speed cameras work. They cut speeding by more than half. But the law that keeps them running is always at risk. Albany debates. Streets wait. Take action

The Next Move Is Yours

This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power, or someone who looked away. Call your council member. Demand 20 mph limits. Demand speed cameras stay on. Demand streets where children can cross and come home. Take action
