Douglaston-Little Neck: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Hide the Hurt
One death. Three serious injuries. Over 320 hurt. These are not numbers. They are lives changed in Douglaston-Little Neck since 2022. The pain does not make the news. It sits in hospital rooms and quiet kitchens. In the last twelve months, 101 people were injured in 195 crashes. No one died this year. But the luck will not hold.
The Most Vulnerable Still Bleed
Pedestrians and children are not spared. In the last year, eight kids were hurt in crashes here. A 68-year-old man crossing at Westmoreland Street was struck by an SUV. He left the scene with a bleeding head. Data shows SUVs, sedans, and trucks all played their part. The street does not care who you are. It only cares that you are in the way.
Leadership: Progress or Delay?
The city talks about Vision Zero. They count intersection redesigns and new speed limits. But in Douglaston-Little Neck, the danger remains. No new local laws. No bold moves. The council and community board have not led. They have not fought for more cameras, lower speeds, or safer crossings. The silence is loud. Each day without action is another day of risk.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. It is policy. Crashes are not weather. They are the result of choices. Choices made by leaders, or not made at all. If you want change, you must demand it. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call the DOT. Tell them to lower the speed limit, add cameras, and fix the streets. Do not wait for another name to become a number.
Act now. Demand safer streets before another family pays the price.
