Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Rego Park?
Rego Park: Blood on the Boulevard, Silence from City Hall
Rego Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
Broken Bodies, Broken Streets
In Rego Park, the numbers do not lie. Two people killed and 136 injured in the last year alone. No one is spared. Children, elders, cyclists, riders, walkers. The pain is spread across ages and streets. A 23-year-old cyclist was killed at Queens Boulevard and 63rd Drive. A 55-year-old motorcyclist died on Woodhaven Boulevard. The toll is steady, merciless, and always too high.
Cars and SUVs do most of the harm. In three years, they caused 64 pedestrian injuries here. Trucks and buses added more. Bikes and mopeds are not blameless, but their numbers are a drop in the bucket. The street is a gauntlet. The sidewalk is not safe.
The Human Cost
Every crash leaves a mark. Sometimes it is blood on the curb. Sometimes it is a face gashed open, a body crushed, a life ended. Sometimes it is a mother who will not come home. Sometimes it is a cyclist who will not ride again. The stories do not end. They only pile up.
A bus driver in Queens said, “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings.” Seven people were hurt when an MTA bus jumped the curb. Another rider said, “I was all the way in the back and all of a sudden the bus hit the curb, I guess, jumped the curb, I went this way and that way and banged into the side of the bus.”
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Local leaders have taken some steps. Assembly Member Andrew Hevesi and State Senator Joe Addabbo both voted to extend school speed zones and co-sponsored bills to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices. Council Member Robert Holden backed new protected bike lanes, but also pushed for e-bike registration—a move that critics say targets delivery workers, not reckless drivers.
But the pace is slow. The deaths keep coming. The injuries do not stop. Every delay means another family broken.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat speeders. Demand streets built for people, not just cars. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
Act now. The street will not wait.
