Blood on the Asphalt: Slow Down or More Will Suffer
Alley Pond Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Never Stop
No one died in Alley Pond Park these past three years. But the story does not end there. Five people suffered serious injuries on these roads since 2022. More than 400 people were hurt. The wounds are not just numbers. They are broken hips, crushed legs, blood on the pavement. In the last year alone, 114 people were injured in 181 crashes. Two were left with injuries that will not heal soon. See the NYC Open Data.
The Latest Wrecks
The crashes keep coming. Rear-ends, lane changes, high speeds, and SUVs. A 17-year-old, a 20-year-old, a 34-year-old, a 35-year-old. The ages change, the pain does not. Recent crashes happened on the Cross Island Parkway and Long Island Expressway. The pattern is clear: metal hits flesh, flesh loses. See the NYC Open Data.
Leadership: Progress and Delay
The city has tools to slow the carnage. Sammy’s Law lets New York set its own speed limits. The city can drop speeds to 20 mph. But the limit stands. Speed cameras work, but need Albany’s blessing to keep running. Every delay is a risk. Every day without action is another chance for a crash. Take Action
What Comes Next
No one should accept this as normal. The city can lower speed limits. Leaders can push for more cameras, safer crossings, and real accountability. Residents can demand it. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call the DOT. Tell them to use the power they have. Take Action
The blood on these roads is not fate. It is policy. It is choice.
