Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway?
Queens Streets Bleed While City Hall Sleeps
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
A cyclist, age 62, crushed by a concrete mixer on 29th Street. A 50-year-old man, dead in the road at Steinway and Astoria Boulevard. A 17-year-old, killed as a passenger in a sedan on Astoria Boulevard. A 15-year-old, thrown from a moped on 43rd Street. Five dead in this corner of Queens since 2022. Three of them in the last 18 months.
In the last year alone, 215 people were injured in crashes here. Two were hurt so badly they may never walk the same. Children are not spared: two killed, sixteen more injured. The numbers do not rest. They do not heal. See the official crash data.
The Machines That Kill
Cars and SUVs strike the hardest. In the last three years, they killed one, left seventeen with bleeding wounds, and broke bones in two more. Motorcycles and mopeds left two more bleeding in the street. Trucks and buses, always looming, have not spared this place. The dead and wounded are not numbers. They are neighbors, children, parents.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
The city passed Sammy’s Law. The council can now lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit here is still higher. No council vote. No mayoral order. Speed cameras work, but their future is in Albany’s hands. Each day of delay is another day of risk.
What Next? The Cost of Waiting
This is not fate. Lower speeds save lives. Cameras catch the reckless. Streets can be rebuilt to protect the living, not just move the fast. But nothing changes unless you demand it.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras stay on. Demand streets where children can cross and live.
