Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Springfield Gardens (North)-Rochdale Village?
No More Excuses: Slow Down or More Will Die
Springfield Gardens (North)-Rochdale Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
One death. One serious injury. Four hundred fifty-six injured. That is the toll of traffic violence in Springfield Gardens (North)-Rochdale Village since 2022. These are not just numbers—they are lives cut short, bodies broken, families changed. In the last twelve months alone, 135 people were hurt in 211 crashes. No one died this year, but the wounds remain.
The Latest Wounds
A woman crossing 133rd Avenue with the signal. Struck by an SUV making a left turn. Neck injury. Whiplash. She survived, but the pain lingers. Crash data shows the pattern: drivers turning, failing to yield, not paying attention. The street is not safe for those on foot—or for anyone.
Leadership: Action or Delay?
Local leaders have the tools. Sammy’s Law lets the city lower speed limits. The city can redesign streets, add cameras, slow the cars. But change comes slow. Each day of delay is another day of risk. The city has not yet used its full power. The silence is loud.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Residents can call for lower speed limits, more cameras, safer crossings. The city can act. The council can vote. The mayor can lead. But nothing changes until the people demand it.
Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action, not words.
