CloseRichmond Hill Bleeds While Leaders Stall: Lower the Speed, Save a Life
Richmond Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Toll on Richmond Hill’s Streets
A man steps off the curb. A car keeps going. In Richmond Hill, this is not rare. In the last twelve months, 194 people were injured in 318 crashes, according to NYC Open Data. Two were left with serious injuries. No one died this year, but the numbers do not tell the whole story. Each wound is a life changed. Each crash is a family waiting by a hospital bed.
On June 18, a 25-year-old man was struck by a sedan while crossing outside the intersection. He left with deep cuts on his arm, blood on the street, and a memory that will not heal soon. Last November, a 36-year-old woman was hit by a distracted driver on Jamaica Avenue. Her leg was torn open. The SUV kept going. The city kept moving.
The Human Cost
A cyclist, 38, was thrown from her bike on Myrtle Avenue this spring. She bled in the road. The crash report blamed “error/confusion.” The car was undamaged. The woman was not. Most victims are not in cars. They are on foot, on bikes, or waiting for the light to change.
The pain is not just numbers. “I have a baby with me. That would be scary. I’ll be more cautious of my surroundings,” said Samantha Hart, after a bus crash nearby. But caution is not enough. The street does not care how careful you are.
Leadership: Action and Silence
State Senator Joe Addabbo voted yes on bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. Assembly Member David Weprin voted no, opposing safer school speed zones for children. The difference is not small. Speed cameras and lower limits save lives.
The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so. The law sits on the table. The blood dries on the asphalt.
Call to Action
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit, fix the streets, and protect the people who walk and ride. Every day of delay is another day of pain.
