How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, Vehicles) from NYC Open Data, extracted Sep 3, 2025. We filtered for the Astoria (Central) NTA (QN0103) and a date window of 2022‑01‑01 through 2025‑09‑03. We counted total crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and deaths from the Crashes/Persons tables, and we used the Hour and Contributing Factor fields for time‑of‑day and factor notes. You can view the base datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

What are officials doing about 31st Street?
