Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Cypress Hills?
No Deaths, No Mercy: Cypress Hills Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Cypress Hills: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Slow Bleed on Cypress Hills Streets
No one died in Cypress Hills these past twelve months. But the streets did not spare the living. 177 people were injured in 368 crashes. Five of them suffered wounds so deep they will not forget. Children were among the hurt—21 under 18. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care if you are young or old. They only count the broken bodies left behind.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
A man crossing the street in Cypress Hills was struck by a Ford Explorer. The driver did not stop. The man lay in the road while the car vanished into the city. Police said only, “the man was crossing the street in Cypress Hills when he was hit by a burgundy Ford Explorer.” The search goes on. The street is the same.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city talks of Vision Zero. They say every life matters. They point to new speed cameras, lower speed limits, and intersection redesigns. But in Cypress Hills, the pain is steady. No deaths, but 13 serious injuries since 2022.
The city has the power now to lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not used it here. The cameras could go dark if Albany does not act. The silence from local leaders is loud. The danger does not wait for new laws or press releases.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand speed cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home. Take action now.

""When the federal government falls short, it really does fall on the state to step up and take responsibility."" -- Julia Salazar
Senate Bill 'Ride Clean' proposes up to $1,100 rebates for e-bike purchases, covering half the cost. The bill passed the Senate but stalled in the Assembly as of August 30, 2022. The measure, led by State Senator Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Robert Carroll, aims to make e-bikes accessible to working-class New Yorkers. Salazar says, 'With the Ride Clean rebate, [e-bikes] really would be much more accessible to working New Yorkers.' Carroll pushes back on critics who call e-bikes a luxury, stating, 'They don’t realize that this is not a luxury item.' The program would use NYSERDA funds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, mirroring the Drive Clean program for electric cars. Advocates cite European and U.S. models. The bill’s fate now rests with the Assembly.

""When the federal government falls short, it really does fall on the state to step up and take responsibility."" -- Julia Salazar
Senate Bill 'Ride Clean' proposes up to $1,100 rebates for e-bike purchases, covering half the cost. The bill passed the Senate but stalled in the Assembly as of August 30, 2022. The measure, led by State Senator Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Robert Carroll, aims to make e-bikes accessible to working-class New Yorkers. Salazar says, 'With the Ride Clean rebate, [e-bikes] really would be much more accessible to working New Yorkers.' Carroll pushes back on critics who call e-bikes a luxury, stating, 'They don’t realize that this is not a luxury item.' The program would use NYSERDA funds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, mirroring the Drive Clean program for electric cars. Advocates cite European and U.S. models. The bill’s fate now rests with the Assembly.

Senate Bill 'Ride Clean' proposes up to $1,100 rebates for e-bike purchases, covering half the cost. The bill passed the Senate but stalled in the Assembly as of August 30, 2022. The measure, led by State Senator Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Robert Carroll, aims to make e-bikes accessible to working-class New Yorkers. Salazar says, 'With the Ride Clean rebate, [e-bikes] really would be much more accessible to working New Yorkers.' Carroll pushes back on critics who call e-bikes a luxury, stating, 'They don’t realize that this is not a luxury item.' The program would use NYSERDA funds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, mirroring the Drive Clean program for electric cars. Advocates cite European and U.S. models.

Salazar says, 'With the Ride Clean rebate, [e-bikes] really would be much more accessible to working New Yorkers.' Carroll pushes back on critics who call e-bikes a luxury, stating, 'They don’t realize that this is not a luxury item.' The program would use NYSERDA funds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, mirroring the Drive Clean program for electric cars. Advocates cite European and U.S. models.
