Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Glendale?

Preventable Speeding in Glendale School Zones

(since 2022)

Cooper and 82nd: a bike hits the street, the count keeps rising

Glendale: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 14, 2025

Just after 1 PM on Sep 27, 2025, at Cooper Avenue and 82nd Street, a person on a bike was hurt. Police records list the crash as involving a bike and an SUV, with the SUV recorded as parked (NYC Open Data).

The count in this neighborhood

Since Jan 1, 2022, Glendale has seen 1 death, 583 injuries, and 1,119 crashes. Five were recorded as serious injuries (NYC Open Data). People walking were hurt 73 times. People on bikes were hurt 64 times. No pedestrian or cyclist deaths are in the local rollup; the single death was a motor vehicle occupant (NYC Open Data).

The pain clusters in daylight. Injuries peak in the afternoon, especially around 3 PM to 5 PM (NYC Open Data). Police most often record named factors like failure to yield and inattention/distraction among the causes locally, alongside many entries marked as “unspecified” in the raw data (NYC Open Data).

Hot corners, same story

Myrtle Avenue leads the harm list here, with the most injuries in the neighborhood dataset, followed by Metropolitan Avenue. Cooper Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard also rank high for crash injuries (NYC Open Data).

This is where people get hit: crosswalks starved of daylight, turns taken into people, long straight runs with speed. The local data’s top hours and corridors point to concrete fixes:

  • Daylighting corners and hardening turns at Myrtle, Metropolitan, and Cooper.
  • Leading pedestrian intervals at signals where turning drivers hit people.
  • Calming long straight segments and directing trucks away from tight residential blocks.
  • Targeted afternoon enforcement where injuries spike.

The levers are on the dais

City Hall has the tools. Albany gave New York City the power to drop speeds. Our own Council Member, Joann Ariola, co‑sponsored a bill to strip bus‑ and bike‑lane benchmarks from the Streets Master Plan (NYC Council – Legistar). Removing those benchmarks would mean fewer protected lanes on streets where people keep getting hurt.

On daylighting, a proven safety step, one report became a shield. “Pro‑car politicians like Council Members Inna Vernikov, Bob Holden, and Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella have cited the DOT’s report to oppose the bill, prioritizing parking over safety,” Streetsblog reported.

In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders bill would force repeat speeders to install speed‑limiters after a pattern of violations. It advanced in 2025 with local State Senator Joe Addabbo voting yes in committee (Open States). The bill requires intelligent speed assistance for drivers with 11 or more DMV points in 24 months, or six camera tickets in a year (Open States).

This Month

  • Sep 27: A cyclist was injured at Cooper Ave and 82 St; police recorded the crash as Bike/SUV, with the SUV parked (NYC Open Data).
  • Sep 14: A 19‑year‑old passenger was hurt near 89‑29 Metropolitan Ave; police noted distraction in the records (NYC Open Data).

What has to happen now

The corners are telling us what to do. Slow the cars. Fix the turns. Clear the sightlines. Protect the lanes. Make the worst drivers stop speeding.

Albany can finish the job by passing the speed‑limiter bill. City Hall can keep lowering speeds and build the protections we count on every day.

One person on a bike went down on Cooper and 82nd in the early afternoon. Do not wait for the next one. Ask your leaders to move /take_action/.

Int 1304-2025 Ariola co-sponsors bill requiring micromobility share operators to display safety rules.

Jun 11 - Council bill demands bike and scooter share firms post road rules at stations and in apps. Riders must review rules yearly. No charge for time spent reading. City aims for clarity, not confusion.

Int 1304-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure after introduction on June 11, 2025. The bill, titled "requiring micromobility share system operators to display rules of the road for safe operation," compels operators to show safety rules on apps and at stations.

Brooks-Powers leads as primary sponsor, joined by Hanif, Brewer, Restler, Louis, Narcisse, Lee, Marte, Hanks, Ariola, and Morano. The law aims to make safety rules visible and unavoidable for every rider.
