Main Street’s Reckoning: A Bike, a Truck, and the Pattern We Refuse to Break

Queensboro Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 9, 2025

Just before 4 PM at Main St and 57 Rd, a man on a bike hit a pickup’s left side and went down. Police marked the crash as speed-related; the cyclist suffered crush injuries NYC Open Data.

This Week

  • At the Long Island Expressway and Kissena Blvd, a driver turned right into a man on a bike; he was hospitalized NYC Open Data.
  • That same junction saw a two‑SUV crash with one serious injury NYC Open Data.

The tally on these blocks

Since Jan 1, 2022, Queensboro Hill has recorded 967 crashes, injuring 587 people and killing 3 NYC Open Data. Pedestrians account for 97 injuries and 1 death; people on bikes, 35 injuries NYC Open Data. The Long Island Expressway corridor is the worst point on the map here, with 2 deaths and 196 injuries; Main St follows with dozens more NYC Open Data. Injuries spike in the mid‑afternoon; 2 PM is the peak hour in this zone NYC Open Data.

Police records show named driver behaviors, over and over: failure to yield to people in the crosswalk, unsafe lane changes, and unsafe speed. Each shows up in this neighborhood’s severe crashes since 2022 NYC Open Data.

What the street asks for

Start with the hotspots. The Expressway frontage roads and Main St need hard fixes: daylighting at corners, hardened left turns, and leading pedestrian intervals that hold turning drivers back a beat. Build a protected bike lane on Main St where the September and October bike crashes hit. Target the mid‑afternoon hours with consistent enforcement. These are basic tools, and the crash logs here justify them NYC Open Data.

Albany wrote the tools. Will we use them here?

The most dangerous drivers are repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act would force cars tied to repeated camera and point violations to use speed‑limiting tech. State Sen. John Liu co‑sponsored and voted “yes” on S 4045 in committee on June 11 and June 12, 2025 Open States. Assembly Member Nily Rozic co‑sponsors the matching A 2299 in the Assembly Open States. The bills exist. The sponsors are ours. The risk is on our streets.

Lower the speed. Stop the repeats.

A slower default speed citywide and mandatory limiters for habitual speeders would cut the violence that keeps landing on Main St and along the Expressway. The Council Member here is Sandra Ung. The Senator is John Liu. The Assembly Member is Nily Rozic. The path is written in their dockets Open States Open States.

The man on the bike at 57 Rd is still a person, not a data point. We don’t need one more case study to act. Take one step now: ask your officials to use the tools we already have /take_action/.

We’re a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you’re walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what’s happening in your neighborhood.
How were these numbers calculated?
We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes: h9gi-nx95; Persons: f55k-p6yu; Vehicles: bm4k-52h4), filtered for incidents from 2022-01-01 to 2025-10-09 within the Queensboro Hill neighborhood (NTA QN0706).

What fixes make sense right now?
At the Expressway frontage roads and on Main St: daylight corners, harden left turns, add leading pedestrian intervals, and build a protected bike lane where recent crashes occurred. Pair with routine enforcement in the mid‑afternoon when injuries peak.
Who can stop the worst repeat speeders?
Albany. Sen. John Liu backed S 4045 in committee, and Asm. Nily Rozic co‑sponsors A 2299. These bills require speed‑limiting devices for drivers who rack up repeated violations.
