Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in St. John Cemetery?
Bleeding Streets, Silent Leaders: Demand 20 MPH Now
St. John Cemetery: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
No one died here. But people bled.
From January 2022 to June 2025, St. John Cemetery and its streets saw zero deaths but 38 injuries in 49 crashes. Two people were seriously hurt. Seven of the injured were children under 18. The oldest was over 65. The pain is spread wide, but it is not shared equally.
No one walks away from a crash unchanged.
The Crashes Keep Coming
A 17-year-old boy, head cut open, riding as a passenger. A 19-year-old, thrown from his motorcycle, left unconscious. A 28-year-old, face bloodied, seatbelt digging into his chest. These are not numbers. They are lives split by metal and speed. NYC crash data
No one plans to die on Woodhaven Boulevard. But every year, someone comes close.
Leadership: Promises and Silence
Local leaders talk of Vision Zero. They count intersection redesigns and new bike lanes. They point to Sammy’s Law, which lets the city lower speed limits. But in these streets, the speed has not slowed. The crashes have not stopped. The city has the power to set 20 mph limits. It has not used it here.
No new laws. No bold action.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy.
Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Every delay is a risk passed to a child, a parent, a neighbor. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand action, not words.
If you wait, the next siren will be for someone you know.
