Middle Village Bleeds While Leaders Hide
Middle Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
Death at the Crossroads
A man on a bicycle was crushed beneath the wheels of an FDNY truck turning onto Juniper Boulevard. He died on the street. The police said only, “The bicyclist was an adult male who was pronounced dead at the scene” (ABC7).
In the last twelve months, four people have died in Middle Village traffic. Over 100 more were injured. One was a cyclist, two were pedestrians, one rode a motorcycle. The numbers do not bleed, but the families do.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Since 2022, six people have died on these streets. 377 have been injured. Two suffered injuries so severe they may never walk the same. Cars and trucks did most of the harm. Motorcycles killed. Bikes did not kill anyone. The numbers are here, cold and unyielding.
Leadership: Words and Silence
The city talks of Vision Zero and safer streets. But in Middle Village, the carnage continues. After the firetruck killed the cyclist, a witness said, “One of them seemed concerned, like shaken, like shocked” (New York Post). The NYPD investigates. The leaders wait. No new laws. No redesigns. No public statements from the council or board. The silence is heavy.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Every day without change is a choice. Call your council member. Demand protected bike lanes. Demand slower speeds. Demand action before another name becomes a number.
Do not wait for another family to grieve. Take action now.
