Belmont Bleeds While City Sleeps

Belmont: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll in Belmont: Lives Changed, Streets Unforgiving

Four dead. One seriously injured. In just over three years, Belmont’s streets have not spared the old or the young. A 69-year-old man crushed by a truck on East Fordham Road. A 67-year-old woman killed on her e-bike by an SUV turning right. A 35-year-old man, dead at the wheel of his e-bike, struck by a sedan. A 29-year-old moped rider, ejected and killed. These are not numbers. They are lives ended, families left with empty chairs.

In the last twelve months, 140 people have been hurt in 250 crashes. One left with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. No one walks away untouched.

The Sound of Gunfire, the Silence of Action

On Southern Boulevard, violence spilled from the barrel of a gun and the pedal of a car. Two drivers, speeding, exchanged shots in daylight. A man crashed, bleeding, and called a cab to the hospital. He died. A deli worker watched it unfold: “There were a whole lot of rounds. It was crazy. This doesn’t happen around here during the day time.” The other driver fled. No arrests. The street was left to clean itself.

Leadership: Promises and Delays

No new laws. No bold redesigns. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not used it here. Cameras that catch speeders and red-light runners work, but their future is always in doubt. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program expired. No word from the council. No word from Albany. The silence is louder than the sirens.

What Next: No More Waiting

This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras stay on. Demand streets that do not kill. Every day of delay is another family’s loss. Take action now.
