Sidewalks Aren’t Safe—Blood on Astoria Streets, Silence from City Hall
Astoria (Central): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
A seven-year-old girl left school and never made it home whole. A car jumped the curb on 35th Avenue, crushing her femur and leaving her with a head wound. Her classmate, fourteen, was hit too. A man, fifty-eight, limped away with bruised legs. The driver had no license. Police called it “reckless endangerment, reckless driving and driving without a license” said the NYPD. The sidewalk offered no safety.
In the last twelve months, 167 people were injured and one killed on Astoria (Central) streets. No one was spared: children, cyclists, the old. SUVs and sedans did most of the harm.
Patterns That Don’t Break
A 94-year-old woman tried to cross Broadway. A USPS van rolled over her, pinning her body to the street. She lived, barely. “The van drove completely over the woman… before coming to an abrupt stop with the victim trapped under it,” reported police. No charges. No comfort.
In the same year, a cyclist was killed at 34th Avenue and 37th Street. Another was struck on 36th Street. Pedestrians crossing with the signal were hit by turning SUVs. The numbers do not lie: over 1,000 crashes since 2022, more than 500 injuries, and one death.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city touts new laws. Sammy’s Law lets New York lower speed limits. Cameras catch speeders, but only if Albany keeps them running. Local leaders talk of Vision Zero, but the blood on the crosswalks says the work is not done. No recent public statements from District 22 or Queens CB1 address these latest crashes.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings and working cameras. Every day of delay is another broken body, another family changed forever.
