Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Belmont?
Belmont Bleeds While City Sleeps—Demand Safer Streets Now
Belmont: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
The Toll in Belmont
Four dead. One hundred forty-nine injured. One serious injury. That is the ledger for Belmont since 2022. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or promises. They only count the bodies and the broken bones.
Pedestrians and cyclists pay the highest price. In the last twelve months, 149 people were hurt in 254 crashes. The dead do not get second chances. The living carry scars.
The Sound of Gunfire, the Crash of Metal
On a spring day near the Bronx Zoo, two drivers turned the street into a shooting gallery. Bullets flew. A car slammed into a stop sign. The wounded man called a cab to the hospital. He died. A deli worker watched it all. “There were a whole lot of rounds. It was crazy. This doesn’t happen around here during the day time,” he said. “It was like a movie.” The other driver vanished. No arrests. The street stayed open for business.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about safety. But in Belmont, the blood keeps coming. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not used it. Speed cameras cut speeding by more than half where installed, but the law that keeps them running is always at risk of expiring. The city redesigns intersections, but the work is slow. The dead do not wait for ribbon cuttings.
The Next Step Belongs to You
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the speed limit drop to 20 mph. Demand the cameras stay on. Demand streets where children can cross without fear. Every day of delay is another day the numbers grow. Take action now.

The pedestrian was conscious and injured but not ejected. No pedestrian errors were listed as contributing factors. The driver’s failure to obey traffic control and lack of attention directly led to the collision and the victim’s injuries.
City law now forces DOT to reveal where bikes and scooters go. Streets and bridges, protected or not. Data goes public. Riders’ movement, danger, and safety projects laid bare. No more hiding the facts.
Int 0745-2024, now enacted, came through the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It was introduced April 11, 2024, and passed on August 15, 2024. The law orders the Department of Transportation to post current bicycle and micromobility ridership data online, updated monthly or at least yearly. The matter summary reads: 'requiring the department of transportation to provide information about bicycle and other micromobility device activity.' Council Member Selvena N. Brooks-Powers led as primary sponsor, joined by Farías, Restler, Hudson, Schulman, and others. The law demands transparency on where riders travel and what DOT does to keep them safe. This opens the books on bike movement and exposes gaps in protection.
