Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 19?
Still Dying, Still Waiting: Streets Built for Cars, Not People
District 19: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Just last month, a 74-year-old man was killed crossing at Northern Boulevard and 217th Street. The SUV that struck him was driven by an unlicensed man. The crash report lists him as a pedestrian at the intersection. He died on the street, one of 15 killed in District 19 since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
The numbers do not stop. In the last twelve months alone, 4 people died and 953 were injured in traffic crashes here. Children, elders, cyclists, and pedestrians are all in the count. Every week, someone is hit. Every week, families wait in hospital halls.
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and cars do most of the damage. Since 2022, they have killed 6 and injured 289 people walking or biking. Trucks and buses have hurt 27 more. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes add to the toll, but the big machines do the worst work (NYC Open Data).
What Has Been Done—And What Has Not
Council Member Vickie Paladino has voted for some safety bills. She backed laws to clear abandoned cars from sightlines and crosswalks, and to require better pavement markings (NYC Council – Legistar). She co-sponsored a bill to force speed humps near parks, a small step for children and families (NYC Council – Legistar). She also celebrated new car-free school streets, calling it a win for safe pick-up and play (Streetsblog NYC).
But when the Council voted to decriminalize jaywalking—to stop blaming people on foot for their own deaths—Paladino voted no (NYC Council – Legistar). The law’s sponsor said, “This is a very clear indication of systemic bias in how these laws are enforced.”
On congestion pricing, Paladino has attacked the plan to fund safer streets and transit, calling it a scheme to “pad his completely dysfunctional and unaccountable agency” (Streetsblog NYC).
The Call
The deaths will not stop until the streets change. Call Council Member Paladino. Call the Mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people outside cars. Do not wait for another name on the list.
