Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in College Point?
College Point Bleeds While Leaders Stall—Demand Safe Streets Now
College Point: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Flesh and Bone
In College Point, the numbers do not bleed, but people do. Four dead. Nine left with serious injuries. In three and a half years, 940 crashes. 419 hurt.
A 58-year-old man, struck and killed while walking. A 62-year-old cyclist, dead on College Point Boulevard. A 43-year-old man, thrown from his car and left to die on the Whitestone Expressway. The driver who hit him ran. Police hunted him for a year. His sister waited. When the arrest came, she expressed relief at the arrest after 12 months.
No child should have to cross a street in fear. No family should wait a year for justice.
Who Pays the Price?
Pedestrians and cyclists take the brunt. In the last year alone, 140 injured, one seriously. The dead are not numbers. They are fathers, sisters, sons. The street does not care if you are young or old. A sedan, an SUV, a truck—they all hit the same. Cars and trucks caused every pedestrian death and injury here.
What Has Changed? What Hasn’t?
Local leaders talk of Vision Zero. They tout new laws, lower speed limits, more cameras. But the blood dries slow. No public statement from local council or board after the last deaths. No new protected bike lanes. No redesigns for the deadliest crossings. The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. They have not used it here.
What Next? Who Will Act?
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand real protection for people who walk and bike.
Do not wait for another name on the list. Act now.
