Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 30?
Holden’s Streets, Holden’s Blood: The Toll Grows in District 30
District 30: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Death Count Grows
A man on a bicycle, crushed under the wheels of a fire truck at Juniper Boulevard and 80th Street. He died on the street, his ride cut short. The NYPD is still investigating. No arrests. No relief. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
A motorcyclist, 55, struck by a BMW on Woodhaven Boulevard. The bike burst into flames. He died there. The driver had a record of speeding and reckless driving. Queens DA Melinda Katz alleged, “As alleged, this defendant plowed his BMW SUV into a motorcyclist shortly after the two had a minor collision on the Long Island Expressway. As a result… the motorcycle burst into flames and the driver was killed.”
In the last twelve months, District 30 saw 6 deaths and 623 injuries from traffic crashes. Six people suffered serious injuries. The streets are not safe. The numbers do not lie.
Who Pays the Price
The dead are not numbers. They are neighbors. A cyclist, a motorcyclist, a pedestrian. In District 30, trucks killed four. Motorcycles and mopeds killed two. Cars and SUVs left dozens more with broken bodies. The violence is relentless. The pain is local.
What Has Holden Done?
Council Member Robert F. Holden has stood on both sides of the line. He co-sponsored bills for safer crossings and tougher penalties for blocked plates. He backed new greenways and supported protected bike lanes on Cypress Avenue, a rare move for him. But he also voted against ending jaywalking enforcement, a law that targeted the vulnerable and did nothing to stop drivers from killing. He pushed for e-bike registration, a move the city’s own DOT chief called wasteful and harmful: “The administration already has the tools to enforce against illegal cycling behaviors; a license plate is not necessary for enforcement.”
Holden cheered the federal rollback of congestion pricing, a policy proven to cut traffic and save lives. He called it “unfair and burdensome for working families.” The cost is measured in blood, not tolls.
The Next Step Is Yours
The bodies keep coming. The laws move slow. Call Council Member Holden. Demand real change: lower speed limits, more protected crossings, and an end to policies that punish the vulnerable. Do not wait for another name on the list.
