Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Woodside?
Four Dead in Woodside—Speed Kills, Leaders Stall
Woodside: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Four people are dead. Eleven are seriously hurt. In Woodside, from 2022 to June 2025, the street is a wound that will not close. Crashes do not stop. In the last twelve months alone, 224 people were injured. Three were left with injuries that will mark them for life. Not one death in the past year, but the memory of loss lingers. NYC Open Data
The Pattern: Relentless and Unchanged
SUVs, trucks, sedans, mopeds. They strike bodies and break them. Two killed by SUVs. One by a truck. One by a motorcycle. Pedestrians, cyclists, riders—all at risk. The numbers do not care if you are young or old. In the last year, 11 children were hurt. No one is spared.
Leadership: Promises and Waiting
The city talks of Vision Zero. They say every life matters. They point to new laws—Sammy’s Law lets the city lower speed limits. Cameras catch speeders. But in Woodside, the street stays the same. Crashes keep coming. The council can lower the limit to 20 mph. They have not. The state can keep speed cameras running. They have not acted fast enough. Every day of delay is another day of risk.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. Streets can be made safe. Speed can be slowed. Cameras can be kept on. But only if leaders act. Only if people demand it. The cost of waiting is written in broken bodies and empty chairs.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand speed cameras stay on. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Res 1024-2025Raga Backs Safety-Boosting Owner Liability Camera Bill▸Council pushes Albany to pass A.5440. Owner liability when cars flout posted rules. Cameras to curb illegal parking that endangers people. Less chaos. More space for those on foot and bike.
Res 1024-2025 is a Council resolution now in Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced August 14, 2025 and referred the same day. It “calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York.” Sponsor: Council Member Lincoln Restler. A.5440, sponsored by Assemblymember Steven Raga, would pilot camera enforcement (on city vehicles or along streets) for posted parking rules, with owner fines from $50 to $250 and a six-year term, plus a two-year public report. The aim: curb illegal parking that endangers people outside cars and clogs the street.

Council pushes Albany to pass A.5440. Owner liability when cars flout posted rules. Cameras to curb illegal parking that endangers people. Less chaos. More space for those on foot and bike.
Res 1024-2025 is a Council resolution now in Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced August 14, 2025 and referred the same day. It “calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, A.5440, which imposes owner liability for failure of an operator to comply with traffic control indicators within the city of New York.” Sponsor: Council Member Lincoln Restler. A.5440, sponsored by Assemblymember Steven Raga, would pilot camera enforcement (on city vehicles or along streets) for posted parking rules, with owner fines from $50 to $250 and a six-year term, plus a two-year public report. The aim: curb illegal parking that endangers people outside cars and clogs the street.
