Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in District 50?
Staten Island Bleeds—Carr Looks Away
District 50: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 6, 2025
The Blood on Staten Island’s Streets
In District 50, the numbers do not lie. Since January 2022, 18 people have died and 3,325 have been injured in crashes. Twenty-five suffered injuries so grave they will never be the same. The dead include children, elders, and riders on foot, bike, and scooter. The city keeps counting. The bodies keep coming.
Just last month, a 13-year-old boy was thrown from his moped after colliding with an MTA bus in Port Richmond. He hit the pavement hard. He left the scene in critical condition, his head battered. Police said, “the moped went through a stop sign without stopping and hit the bus” according to amNY. The bus rolled on. The boy did not.
A week before, a 16-year-old on an e-scooter died after a crash with a Hyundai Tucson. The police said only this: “Ellis suffered head trauma as a result of the crash” reported by The Brooklyn Paper. No charges. No arrests. Just another name for the list.
The Hazards Multiply
The danger is not random. Cars and trucks did the most harm: 7 deaths, 340 injuries. Trucks and buses killed 4, injured 39. Motorcycles and mopeds, bikes, all add to the toll. The old and the young are not spared. In the last year, one child died and 165 more were hurt. Two people over 75 are dead. The city’s streets are not safe for anyone.
On Hylan Boulevard, confusion breeds carnage. Borough President Vito Fossella said, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane in order to make a right-hand turn” as reported by amNY. The signs are unclear. The crashes keep coming.
Council Member Carr: Action and Inaction
Council Member David Carr has voted for some safety bills. He backed laws to speed up pavement markings and remove abandoned vehicles, both meant to clear sightlines and mark danger zones. He voted for taxi dooring warnings. But he also voted against legalizing jaywalking, a measure meant to stop punishing pedestrians for their own deaths. He co-sponsored bills to require e-bike registration and to remove speed cameras—moves that shift blame and weaken proven protections.
The crisis is not fate. Every crash is a policy failure. Every delay is a choice. Call Council Member Carr. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for people walking, biking, and riding. The blood on the street is not an accident. It is a warning. Act before another family mourns.
