Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Dutch Kills?
Four Dead in Queensbridge—How Many Numbers Before City Hall Wakes Up?
Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Dutch Kills: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Never Stop
In Queensbridge-Ravenswood-Dutch Kills, the road does not forgive. Four people have died here since 2022. One was just last spring—a driver in a taxi, gone in a crash on 36th Avenue. Another, a young man, age 24, lost on 34th Avenue. A motorcyclist, age 37, did not make it home from 40th Avenue. A woman, 37, died on 34th Avenue. The names are not here. The numbers are. Four dead. One serious injury. 559 hurt. injury and fatality data
The pain is not spread evenly. Children, the old, the young, the ones who walk or ride—these are the ones who bleed. In the last year, 156 people were injured in crashes. Seven were under 18. Three were over 75. The street does not care about age.
The Machines That Hit
Cars and SUVs did most of the harm. In the last three years, sedans and SUVs caused 24 moderate injuries to pedestrians. Mopeds and motorcycles hit five. One bus, one bike. The rest is silence.
What Has Changed—And What Hasn’t
The city talks about Vision Zero. They talk about lowering speed limits. They talk about cameras and enforcement. But here, the numbers do not move fast enough. In the last year, injuries fell by 43%. Deaths dropped from one to zero. But the crashes keep coming—110 so far this year. The work is not done.
What You Can Do
The city has the power to lower the speed limit to 20 mph. They have the power to keep speed cameras running. They have the power to build streets that do not kill. But power unused is nothing.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand safer streets. Demand action, not talk. demand action
Do not wait for another name to become a number.
