Ridgewood’s daily toll: bikes down, bodies up
Ridgewood: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
Another corner. Same ending.
Since 2022 in Ridgewood, 2 people were killed and 774 injured across 1,568 crashes. Pedestrians took 169 injuries, cyclists 95. Afternoon hits hardest: injuries spike at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., with a death at 4 p.m. and another at 7 p.m. NYC Open Data
The streets that keep breaking
Fresh Pond Road. Myrtle Avenue. Forest. Cypress. Together they account for hundreds of injuries. NYC Open Data
- Fresh Pond Rd: 18 injuries; two serious.
- Myrtle Ave: 37 injuries; one death.
Contributing factors stack up as “other,” with recorded roles for failure to yield, disregarded signals, distraction, and improper passing. Speed shows in the bodies: one local pedestrian killed on Myrtle had “unsafe speed” listed, paired with distraction. NYC Open Data
Afternoon surge, same pain
From lunch to dusk the numbers climb. 3 p.m.: 47 injured. 4 p.m.: 87 injured and one death. 7 p.m.: 31 injured and one death. People walking get hit most often by sedans and SUVs. NYC Open Data
A food cart, two men, and a curb
Queens lost two men at a food truck in Astoria. Police said an 84‑year‑old driver “careened at a high speed” and “mowed down two pedestrians.” Three dead. Streets littered with debris. amNY
A few miles away, a 52‑year‑old man crossing near JFK was struck and left to die. “The driver sped off without stopping,” police said. No arrests. NY Daily News
“Police were looking … for a driver,” another report said. Gothamist
These are not Ridgewood addresses. They are Queens streets. Same borough. Same blood.
What City Hall knows — and when
The Council is moving small tools. One bill would force DOT to install school‑zone safety devices within 60 days of a study. It is in committee. Legistar
Council Member Robert F. Holden backs another bill to revoke city parking permits for drivers caught with obscured or defaced plates — a dodge that erases accountability. It sits in committee. Legistar
The state is pushing on repeat speeders. In June, Senators voted yes in committee on S4045, to require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who stack violations. Open States
Three corners. One fix.
- Fresh Pond Rd at Gates Ave: a cyclist injured in a multi‑vehicle tangle. Harden the right turns. Add a protected bike lane across the conflict. NYC Open Data
- Myrtle Ave: a pedestrian killed with unsafe speed and distraction recorded. Daylight the corners. Set a leading pedestrian interval. Enforce turning speed. NYC Open Data
- Forest and Cypress corridors: recurring injuries. Build raised crossings and concrete refuge. Narrow the lanes. NYC Open Data
The worst drivers, the widest roads
A small slice of motorists do oversized harm. Lawmakers cite repeat speeding as a killer pattern; the Senate advanced the speed‑limiter bill in June votes. Open States
School‑zone cameras run around the clock through 2030. The tools exist. The gaps remain. Take Action
Do the simple, proven things
- Lower the default city speed limit. Slower streets save lives. Take Action
- Install limiters on cars owned by repeat speeders. End the streaks. Open States
One body at 4 p.m. Another at 7. Fresh Pond, Myrtle, Forest, Cypress. Different days. Same story. NYC Open Data

Gutiérrez Backs Safety-Boosting 60-Day School Traffic Deadline▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets beside schools within 60 days of a study decision. Major projects are exempt. Faster delivery cuts speed and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists.
"If any traffic study conducted by the department determines it is appropriate to install, on any portion of a street adjacent to a school, a traffic calming device ... or a traffic control device" -- Jennifer Gutiérrez

It also targets placard misuse and unpaid fines over $350. The move restores camera enforcement. Pedestrians and cyclists gain space and accountability.
Int 1358-2025. Status: Sponsorship, referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on August 14, 2025. The bill seeks the “revocation of city-issued parking permits for violations related to obscured or defaced license plates.” Primary sponsor: Council Member Lincoln Restler. Co-sponsor: Council Member Robert F. Holden. The measure would revoke permits after three misuse violations, any §19-166 offense, unpaid violations over $350, or operating with an obscured plate. Revoking city-issued parking permits for obscured/defaced plates and placard misuse increases accountability, restores automated enforcement, and deters illegal parking. This reduces bike lane and crosswalk blocking and curbs impunity among placard holders, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

According to the police report, the sole listed factor was “Pedestrian/Bicyclist/Other Pedestrian Error/Confusion.” The SUV’s action—turning left across the cyclist’s path—created the conflict that led to impact at the SUV’s left-side doors and the bike’s front end. The cyclist was reported with “Helmet Only (In-Line Skater/Bicyclist)” after the driver’s turning movement is noted. This crash underscores how a left-turning SUV can endanger a person on a bike moving straight.

A southbound Ford pickup making a U-turn on Fresh Pond Road at Linden Street struck a northbound moped. The moped rider, a 27-year-old man, was ejected and injured. According to the police report “pre crash: Making U Turn” for the pickup and “Going Straight Ahead” for the moped. The report lists contributing factors as “Unspecified.” The pickup’s point of impact was the right front quarter panel; the moped’s was the center front end.

Int 1353-2025 was introduced Aug. 14, 2025 and is in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It would amend the administrative code to require DOT to install traffic-calming or control devices on streets adjacent to schools within 60 days of a study. The bill states: "the department shall complete the installation of such traffic calming device or traffic control device by no later than 60 days after the department issues such traffic study determination." Sponsors: Farah N. Louis (primary), with co-sponsors Jennifer Gutiérrez and Lincoln Restler. It takes effect immediately if enacted. Requiring installation within 60 days accelerates proven infrastructure that lowers speeds and crash risk, encouraging walking and biking and improving safety and equity for many vulnerable users.

It also targets placard misuse and unpaid fines over $350. The move restores camera enforcement. Pedestrians and cyclists gain space and accountability.
Int 1358-2025. Status: Sponsorship, referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on August 14, 2025. The bill seeks the “revocation of city-issued parking permits for violations related to obscured or defaced license plates.” Primary sponsor: Council Member Lincoln Restler. Co-sponsor: Council Member Robert F. Holden. The measure would revoke permits after three misuse violations, any §19-166 offense, unpaid violations over $350, or operating with an obscured plate. Revoking city-issued parking permits for obscured/defaced plates and placard misuse increases accountability, restores automated enforcement, and deters illegal parking. This reduces bike lane and crosswalk blocking and curbs impunity among placard holders, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Aug 14 - An SUV cut too close and hit a northbound cyclist on Himrod Street. The rider went down, hurt and in shock. Police list distraction and close passing. Queens pavement took the blow. The SUV rolled on with no damage.
A northbound SUV struck a northbound bicyclist near 1718 Himrod St in Queens. The cyclist suffered back pain and shock. According to the police report, contributing factors were “Driver Inattention/Distraction” and “Passing Too Closely.” These driver errors put the rider on the ground. Vehicle data show a left front bumper impact to the SUV and a rear impact to the bike. The SUV had no reported damage; the cyclist was injured. The report also notes the cyclist wore a helmet, but that detail comes after the driver’s failures listed by police.

It also targets placard misuse and unpaid fines over $350. The move restores camera enforcement. Pedestrians and cyclists gain space and accountability.
Int 1358-2025. Status: Sponsorship, referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on August 14, 2025. The bill seeks the “revocation of city-issued parking permits for violations related to obscured or defaced license plates.” Primary sponsor: Council Member Lincoln Restler. Co-sponsor: Council Member Robert F. Holden. The measure would revoke permits after three misuse violations, any §19-166 offense, unpaid violations over $350, or operating with an obscured plate. Revoking city-issued parking permits for obscured/defaced plates and placard misuse increases accountability, restores automated enforcement, and deters illegal parking. This reduces bike lane and crosswalk blocking and curbs impunity among placard holders, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets beside schools within 60 days of a study decision. Major projects are exempt. Faster delivery cuts speed and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists.
Int. 1353-2025, introduced August 14, 2025, is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." Sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, the bill would require DOT to complete installation of an approved traffic calming or traffic control device within 60 days after a DOT study determination. Safety analysts say the 60-day clock speeds proven treatments, reduces speeds and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists, encourages walking and biking, and improves equity; major projects are exempt.

Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.

Int 1353-2025 was introduced Aug. 14, 2025 and is in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
