Astoria (North)–Ditmars: Three Dead at Daybreak
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 16, 2025
This Week on 19th Avenue
On 2025-08-12 three people died at 19th Avenue and 42nd Street. An 84‑year‑old driver jumped the curb, struck a food truck and died at the scene. amNY identified the two pedestrians killed as 41‑year‑old Joaquin Venancio‑Mendez and 70‑year‑old Santiago Baires (https://www.amny.com/new-york/queens/carnage-queens-senior-driver-stroke-crash/).
This corner is not a surprise. The city’s crash data flags the corridor as a hotspot. Morning is the killing hour: the 8:00 a.m. slot shows the most deaths in this neighborhood. Since 2022, Astoria (North)–Ditmars–Steinway has logged 1,436 crashes, 10 deaths, 6 serious injuries and 776 injured (NYC Open Data: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).
A Pattern, Not a Fluke
The hits stack up. Grand Central Parkway and 42nd Street register repeated harm. Ditmars Boulevard shows a steady toll. The city’s own categories list “other” as the leading contributing factor in fatal crashes here — the data does not hide the pattern.
Passenger vehicles — cars and SUVs — account for most pedestrian impacts in these counts.
What Leaders Did — And Didn’t
Council Member Tiffany Cabán urged faster safety work and backed daylighting and Sammy’s Law implementation after the crash (Streetsblog: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/12/speeding-senior-kills-self-and-two-pedestrians-in-astoria). She co‑sponsored Int. 1353‑2025, which would require DOT to finish school‑area traffic devices within 60 days of a study determination (NYC Council Legistar: https://legistar.council.nyc.gov/Legislation.aspx). DOT says it will defend the 31st Street safety redesign in court (Streetsblog: https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/08/dot-stands-by-astoria-safety-project-despite-foes-anti-bike-lawsuit).
At the state level, senators on committee voted to require intelligent speed‑assistance devices for habitual violators (S4045 — Open States: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045).
Fix What We Know Is Broken
These are concrete, local fixes that match the data:
- Make 19th Ave & 42nd St safe now: universal daylighting at corners and lead pedestrian intervals at signals.
- On Ditmars and 31st: install protected bike lanes and left‑turn calming (hardened turns, curb extensions).
- On Grand Central Parkway service roads and entries: add targeted lighting, slow the approaches, and place physical channeling to stop curb hops.
Do this where crashes repeat. Repeat hotspots need repeat fixes.
Citywide Political Solutions
Local fixes matter. So do citywide rules. Use Sammy’s Law to set a 20 mph default across New York City. Require intelligent speed‑assistance (speed‑limiters) for habitual speeders — the state S4045 proposals move in this direction. Push for both: slower default speeds plus tech that prevents repeat offenders from killing.
Act Now
Call your council member and state senator. Demand a 20 mph default, speedy installation of the 31st Street plan, and required speed‑limiters for repeat violators. Push DOT to build, not study. Start here: /take_action/.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years.

González‑Rojas Backs Safety‑Boosting 31st Street Protected Bike Lanes▸Aug 19 - Local officials backed DOT's protected bike lanes under the elevated 31st Street tracks. A New York State Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction that paused the plan. Leaders urged the city to move the separated lanes forward to protect cyclists and pedestrians.
Bill/file number: none. Status: press release; plan supported by local officials but temporarily blocked by a New York State Supreme Court temporary injunction. Committee: N/A. Key date: 2025-08-19 (press statement). The matter titled "Elected officials outline continued support for 31st Street protected bike lanes in Astoria" urges DOT to install protected lanes beneath the elevated tracks.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

González‑Rojas Backs Safety‑Boosting 31st Street Protected Bike Lanes▸Aug 19 - Local officials backed DOT's protected bike lanes under the elevated 31st Street tracks. A New York State Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction that paused the plan. Leaders urged the city to move the separated lanes forward to protect cyclists and pedestrians.
Bill/file number: none. Status: press release; plan supported by local officials but temporarily blocked by a New York State Supreme Court temporary injunction. Committee: N/A. Key date: 2025-08-19 (press statement). The matter titled "Elected officials outline continued support for 31st Street protected bike lanes in Astoria" urges DOT to install protected lanes beneath the elevated tracks. Council Member Tiffany Cabán and Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas publicly backed the project. A state senator also expressed support (name withheld). Safety analysts note protected bike lanes under elevated tracks expand safe cycling infrastructure, reduce motor-vehicle-bicycle conflicts, and support mode shift to active travel; benefits depend on continuous, well-lit, accessible design to protect equity and nighttime safety.

González‑Rojas Backs Safety‑Boosting 31st Street Protected Bike Lanes▸Aug 19 - Local officials backed DOT's protected bike lanes under the elevated 31st Street tracks. A New York State Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction that paused the plan. Leaders urged the city to move the separated lanes forward to protect cyclists and pedestrians.
Bill/file number: none. Status: press release; plan supported by local officials but temporarily blocked by a New York State Supreme Court temporary injunction. Committee: N/A. Key date: 2025-08-19 (press statement). The matter titled "Elected officials outline continued support for 31st Street protected bike lanes in Astoria" urges DOT to install protected lanes beneath the elevated tracks.

Safety analysts note protected bike lanes under elevated tracks expand safe cycling infrastructure, reduce motor-vehicle-bicycle conflicts, and support mode shift to active travel; benefits depend on continuous, well-lit, accessible design to protect equity and nighttime safety.

It cuts sidewalk clutter, houses bikes off the curb, and strengthens safety for riders and pedestrians.
Int. No. 1375 is at SPONSORSHIP. Introduced 02/26/2025; event date 2025-09-10. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program," would require DOT to install at least 5,000 bicycle parking stations over five years (1,000 per year; at least 400 on commercial blocks), post locations online, and deliver a one-time report within six years.
