CloseNorthern Boulevard keeps taking its toll
Sunnyside Yards (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 15, 2025
A man on a bike went down at Northern Boulevard and 48 St about 10:40 PM on Sep 8, 2025. Police logged him injured; the driver of a sedan was turning right according to city data.
This Week
- On Oct 7, at Northern Boulevard and 37 St, a driver turning left in a Toyota hit a person on an “other motorized” device; police cited driver inattention in the city dataset.
- On Oct 4, a Ford sedan moving east hit a parked Ford near 29‑50 Northern Boulevard; the 63‑year‑old driver was trapped and injured per city records.
- On Sep 24, at 48 St and Northern Boulevard, a driver turning right hit a 38‑year‑old on a motorized device; he was ejected and injured per the crash log.
Northern Boulevard is the thread
Since 2022, this small area has seen 2 deaths and 450 injuries across 617 crashes. One death was a person walking, one was a person driving a moped in the city data.
The dead have names in the records. On Apr 23, 2022, an 89‑year‑old woman crossing with the signal at Northern Boulevard and 48 St was killed by the driver of an SUV making a left NYC Open Data, CrashID 4521828. On Nov 27, 2023, near 29‑76 Northern Boulevard, a 59‑year‑old moped driver died after a head‑on collision with a taxi CrashID 4682752.
Northern Boulevard is the top injury location here, followed by 48 St per the neighborhood rollup. Many injuries hit people on bikes: 123 injured, with drivers often turning into them at intersections same dataset. Police also log failures to yield and drivers disregarding signals among the causes here Open Data contributing factors.
The morning rush and the dark hours
Injuries stack up in the morning. Around 8–11 AM, the counts surge on these blocks hourly distribution. Deaths in this area have come in the afternoon and late at night same source.
Fix the corners. Clear the sight lines.
Daylighting the corners—clearing 20 feet by every crosswalk—would help people see and live. Council Member Julie Won has pushed the bill to ban parking at corners. “Universal daylighting and hardening at intersections will keep all New Yorkers safe whether they are driving, walking or biking,” she said in AMNY. The Progressive Caucus is pressing for a vote, calling the agency’s cost report “deeply flawed” City & State and Streetsblog.
On these blocks, hardened turns, leading pedestrian intervals, and protected bike approaches would match the harm: most crashes happen at the intersections listed above city dataset.
Stop the repeat speeders
Albany has a tool to choke off the worst drivers. The Stop Super Speeders Act would require speed‑limiting devices for drivers with repeated violations S 4045 and A 2299. State Senator Michael Gianaris co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee on S 4045 in June 2025 Open States. Assembly Member Claire Valdez co‑sponsored A 2299 on Jan 16, 2025 Open States. The bill is aimed at the small pool of repeat violators who drive risk up for everyone on foot or on a bike bill files.
Lower the speed. Save the seconds that save lives.
City officials say slower streets save people. “A driver’s speed can mean the difference between life and death in a traffic crash,” NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said as the city began lowering limits at select locations in 2024 DOT release. The city also renewed 24/7 school‑zone speed cameras through 2030, and expanded red‑light cameras in 2025 state and city releases.
Who moves next
Here, the harm clusters on Northern Boulevard and at 48 St. The fixes are known: clear the corners, harden the turns, slow the traffic, and rein in repeat speeders. Council Member Julie Won is already on the daylighting bill coverage. Senator Gianaris and Assembly Member Valdez have signed on to the speed‑limiter bills S 4045 and A 2299.
One more corner cleared. One more repeat speeder stopped. That is what turns the late‑night fall at 48 St into the last one. Take one step today: call and act.

Julie Won Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Aug 8 - DOT leans on a costly report and pro-car politicians to stall universal daylighting. Corners stay parked. Visibility stays poor. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a proven, system‑wide safety measure while parking is put first.
"Critics, including Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and Council Member Julie Won, argue the report is flawed and that daylighting is a proven, low-cost safety measure" -- Julie Won
Bill: universal daylighting (no bill number listed). Status: stalled amid DOT opposition despite broad Council support. Committee: not listed. Key date: August 8, 2025 (Streetsblog NYC report). Matter title quoted: "We Told You So! DOT’s Anti-Daylighting 'Scare Tactic' Now Fuels Pro-Car Pols." DOT released a report claiming $3 billion in costs and 300,000 lost parking spots. Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella cited the report and opposed the measure. Council Member Julie Won and Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla called the report flawed; Won asked, "It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?" Safety analyst: DOT's opposition undermines a proven, system-wide safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing parking over vulnerable road user safety and risking mode shift and equitable street access.

The two worked together on the 'Fix the MTA Act,' which invested in subways and piloted fare-free buses. Gianaris said Mamdani 'provides the energy and ideas' New Yorkers need. Mamdani thanked Gianaris for helping secure 'historic investments in subway and bus services.' This event, reported by City & State NY, shows political unity on transit. However, as no specific policy action or outcome is detailed, analysts find no direct safety impact for pedestrians or cyclists.

Julie Won Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Aug 8 - DOT leans on a costly report and pro-car politicians to stall universal daylighting. Corners stay parked. Visibility stays poor. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a proven, system‑wide safety measure while parking is put first.
"Critics, including Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and Council Member Julie Won, argue the report is flawed and that daylighting is a proven, low-cost safety measure" -- Julie Won
Bill: universal daylighting (no bill number listed). Status: stalled amid DOT opposition despite broad Council support. Committee: not listed. Key date: August 8, 2025 (Streetsblog NYC report). Matter title quoted: "We Told You So! DOT’s Anti-Daylighting 'Scare Tactic' Now Fuels Pro-Car Pols." DOT released a report claiming $3 billion in costs and 300,000 lost parking spots. Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella cited the report and opposed the measure. Council Member Julie Won and Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla called the report flawed; Won asked, "It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?" Safety analyst: DOT's opposition undermines a proven, system-wide safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing parking over vulnerable road user safety and risking mode shift and equitable street access.

Julie Won Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Aug 8 - DOT leans on a costly report and pro-car politicians to stall universal daylighting. Corners stay parked. Visibility stays poor. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a proven, system‑wide safety measure while parking is put first.
"Critics, including Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and Council Member Julie Won, argue the report is flawed and that daylighting is a proven, low-cost safety measure" -- Julie Won
Bill: universal daylighting (no bill number listed). Status: stalled amid DOT opposition despite broad Council support. Committee: not listed. Key date: August 8, 2025 (Streetsblog NYC report). Matter title quoted: "We Told You So! DOT’s Anti-Daylighting 'Scare Tactic' Now Fuels Pro-Car Pols." DOT released a report claiming $3 billion in costs and 300,000 lost parking spots. Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella cited the report and opposed the measure. Council Member Julie Won and Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla called the report flawed; Won asked, "It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?" Safety analyst: DOT's opposition undermines a proven, system-wide safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing parking over vulnerable road user safety and risking mode shift and equitable street access.

On August 4, 2025, State Senate Deputy Majority Leader Mike Gianaris endorsed Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for mayor. The two worked together on the 'Fix the MTA Act,' which invested in subways and piloted fare-free buses. Gianaris said Mamdani 'provides the energy and ideas' New Yorkers need. Mamdani thanked Gianaris for helping secure 'historic investments in subway and bus services.' This event, reported by City & State NY, shows political unity on transit. However, as no specific policy action or outcome is detailed, analysts find no direct safety impact for pedestrians or cyclists.

Speeding Driver Kills Two Pedestrians in Astoria▸Aug 12 - A speeding car tore through Astoria. The driver struck two men at a coffee cart. All three died. Parked cars blocked sightlines. The street was narrow. Danger came fast and left devastation.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-08-12) reports an 84-year-old driver sped onto 42nd Street in Astoria, hitting two pedestrians and a coffee cart. The crash killed the driver and both men. Streetsblog notes, 'The block has several auto repair shops that leave cars parked all over the sidewalk, limiting visibility.' The article highlights the city's power to lower speed limits to 20 mph, granted by the state legislature, but points out that local officials did not mention this in their initial responses. The crash underscores the risks of speeding and poor street design.

Julie Won Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Aug 8 - DOT leans on a costly report and pro-car politicians to stall universal daylighting. Corners stay parked. Visibility stays poor. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a proven, system‑wide safety measure while parking is put first.
"Critics, including Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla and Council Member Julie Won, argue the report is flawed and that daylighting is a proven, low-cost safety measure" -- Julie Won
Bill: universal daylighting (no bill number listed). Status: stalled amid DOT opposition despite broad Council support. Committee: not listed. Key date: August 8, 2025 (Streetsblog NYC report). Matter title quoted: "We Told You So! DOT’s Anti-Daylighting 'Scare Tactic' Now Fuels Pro-Car Pols." DOT released a report claiming $3 billion in costs and 300,000 lost parking spots. Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella cited the report and opposed the measure. Council Member Julie Won and Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla called the report flawed; Won asked, "It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?" Safety analyst: DOT's opposition undermines a proven, system-wide safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing parking over vulnerable road user safety and risking mode shift and equitable street access.

On August 4, 2025, State Senate Deputy Majority Leader Mike Gianaris endorsed Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for mayor. The two worked together on the 'Fix the MTA Act,' which invested in subways and piloted fare-free buses. Gianaris said Mamdani 'provides the energy and ideas' New Yorkers need. Mamdani thanked Gianaris for helping secure 'historic investments in subway and bus services.' This event, reported by City & State NY, shows political unity on transit. However, as no specific policy action or outcome is detailed, analysts find no direct safety impact for pedestrians or cyclists.

Gianaris Backs Mamdani and Safety‑Boosting Fix the MTA Act▸Aug 4 - Gianaris backs Mamdani for mayor. Both pushed for subway funding and fare-free buses. Their alliance signals power in transit fights. No direct safety change yet for walkers or riders.

The two worked together on the 'Fix the MTA Act,' which invested in subways and piloted fare-free buses. Gianaris said Mamdani 'provides the energy and ideas' New Yorkers need. Mamdani thanked Gianaris for helping secure 'historic investments in subway and bus services.' This event, reported by City & State NY, shows political unity on transit. However, as no specific policy action or outcome is detailed, analysts find no direct safety impact for pedestrians or cyclists.

Bill: universal daylighting (no bill number listed). Status: stalled amid DOT opposition despite broad Council support. Committee: not listed. Key date: August 8, 2025 (Streetsblog NYC report). Matter title quoted: "We Told You So! DOT’s Anti-Daylighting 'Scare Tactic' Now Fuels Pro-Car Pols." DOT released a report claiming $3 billion in costs and 300,000 lost parking spots. Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella cited the report and opposed the measure. Council Member Julie Won and Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla called the report flawed; Won asked, "It isn’t unreasonable to invest under $10k to save the lives of children and all pedestrians with daylighting?" Safety analyst: DOT's opposition undermines a proven, system-wide safety measure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing parking over vulnerable road user safety and risking mode shift and equitable street access.
