Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bayside?
Bayside Bleeds While Leaders Stall—How Many More Lives?
Bayside: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
Another Year, Another Toll
In Bayside, the numbers do not lie. Four dead. Seven seriously hurt. Over 1,100 crashes since 2022. The bodies are not numbers. They are neighbors, parents, children. Last month, a 74-year-old man was killed crossing Northern Boulevard. The SUV kept going straight. He did not. NYC Open Data
Just months before, a 65-year-old man was crushed on the Long Island Expressway. He was not in the roadway. Still, the trucks found him. NYC Open Data
The violence is steady. The pain is quiet.
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and older adults take the brunt. In the last year alone, two people over 65 killed, one under 18 lost, four left with life-changing wounds. The streets do not forgive age or caution. SUVs and cars do most of the damage—74 pedestrian injuries and deaths from cars and SUVs, four from trucks and buses, two from bikes. NYC Open Data
A mother’s words echo after her daughter’s death: “I wish they would never have given him that car. I wish they would never think about giving him that car—because if they didn’t give him that car, my daughter would still be here right now.” Keisha Francis, Gothamist
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Senator John Liu voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. Stop Super Speeders Act He also backed the extension of school speed zones. school speed zones Council Member Vickie Paladino cheered new car-free school streets at PS 129, calling it a win for safe pick-up and play. car-free school streets
But the carnage continues. One law, one ribbon-cutting, does not end the blood on the asphalt.
The Call
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is a choice made upstream. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against repeat offenders. Demand streets where children and elders can walk without fear.
Do not wait for another name on the list. Take action now.
