Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 27?
Blood on the Boulevard: Politicians Stall, Neighbors Fall
District 27: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
Broken Streets, Broken Lives
In District 27, violence does not come with a gun. It comes with a car, a truck, a bus. In the last year alone, 653 people were injured and 2 killed on these streets (NYC Open Data). Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. A four-year-old girl, strapped in the back seat, left with whiplash after a crash on Francis Lewis Boulevard (NYC Open Data). A 76-year-old woman, dead in the back of a sedan on the Cross Island Parkway (NYC Open Data). These numbers are not just statistics. They are families changed forever.
The Latest Wounds
Just weeks ago, a 39-year-old man was killed on Nashville Boulevard, ejected from his motorized scooter after an SUV turned left in front of him (NYC Open Data). The cause: driver inattention. On Hillside Avenue, a 16-year-old boy riding a moped was left with severe cuts to his face after a collision with a taxi (NYC Open Data). These are not isolated incidents. They are the drumbeat of daily life here.
“It must be very devastating for the people that were on the bus.”
On July 11, an MTA bus in Queens jumped the curb and smashed into a pole, injuring seven (CBS New York). “It must be very devastating for the people that were on the bus,” said Jacqueline Cox. The driver, just 25, told investigators he “misjudged the curb.” But after reviewing the video, officials now believe he “had fallen asleep at the wheel” (ABC7). The MTA pulled him from service. The crash could have been worse. Two people at the stop nearly died. “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings,” said Samantha Hart.
Leadership: Progress and Gaps
Council Member Nantasha Williams has voted for bills to remove abandoned vehicles within 72 hours, to require warning decals on taxi doors, and to boost transparency and accountability for street safety projects (NYC Council – Legistar). She co-sponsored a bill to curb repeat speeders and another to improve pedestrian lighting (NYC Council – Legistar). But the carnage continues. No law yet slows the cars that kill. No bill yet redesigns the streets that wound.
The Next Step Is Ours
This is not fate. It is policy. Call Council Member Williams. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand streets that put people before cars. Every day you wait is another day someone does not come home.
