Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in East Flushing?
Flushing Bleeds—And City Hall Lets It Happen
East Flushing: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 12, 2025
Broken Bodies, Broken Streets
East Flushing does not bleed all at once. It bleeds in slow motion. Since 2022, two people have died and twelve have been seriously hurt in crashes here. In the last twelve months alone, ninety-six neighbors were injured. Seven of them were left with life-changing wounds. No one calls it a crisis, but the numbers do not lie.
Just weeks ago, a woman crossing Kissena Boulevard with the signal was struck and crushed in the crosswalk. She survived, but the street did not forgive her for walking. On June 5th, an 83-year-old man was trapped and left unconscious after a collision on 155th Street. These are not isolated events. They are the drumbeat of daily life here.
The Human Cost
A bus jumps the curb. A pole falls. Eight people are hurt. “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings,” said Samantha Hart. The city calls these minor injuries. For the people on that bus, the word means nothing.
Another rider, Ken Baur, remembers the moment: “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.” He was lucky.
Leadership: Steps Forward, Steps Back
Council Member Sandra Ung has co-sponsored bills for speed humps, raised crosswalks, and better lighting. These are steps, but small ones. She was absent when the Council voted to end jaywalking penalties—a law that finally put the burden back on drivers, not walkers. Senator John Liu voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, pushing for speed limiters on repeat offenders. Assembly Member Ron Kim has called out dangerous streets after a child was killed in Flushing. But the pace is slow. The blood dries before the next bill moves.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash here could have been prevented. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns. Do not wait for another neighbor to die.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
