Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Whitestone-Beechhurst?
Whitestone’s Toll: Broken Bodies, Broken Promises, No More Delays
Whitestone-Beechhurst: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Two dead. Eleven seriously hurt. In three and a half years, the streets of Whitestone-Beechhurst have claimed lives and left bodies broken. The dead do not speak. The injured carry the story in scars and limps. In the last twelve months alone, 108 people were hurt in 165 crashes. Six of those injuries were serious. No one walked away unchanged. Data source
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and the young are not spared. In the past year, eleven children were injured. No child should bleed in the street. The old are not safe either. Eight people over 75 were hurt. Cars and trucks did the most damage. Motorcycles and bikes did not kill here, but the weight of steel and speed did. Crash data
Leadership: Action or Delay?
The city has the power to lower speed limits. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The Council can act. The Mayor can act. But the speed limit stands. Cameras that catch speeders are at risk if Albany does not renew the law. Every day of delay is another day of risk. Take action now.
What Comes Next
No more waiting. Call your Council Member. Call the Mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that work. Demand streets that do not kill. The dead cannot ask. The living must.
