Linden Boulevard Bleeds While City Hall Sleeps

St. Albans: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

Blood on the Boulevards

A man tries to cross Linden Boulevard. A black car hits him. The driver flees. Another car runs him over. He dies the next day. Police are still looking for the first driver. No arrests. No answers. The street stays the same. Police are still searching for the first driver who fled the scene.

In the last twelve months, 254 people have been injured in crashes in St. Albans. Two were seriously hurt. No one died in that span, but death is never far. In three years, two people have died on these streets. Children bleed here. Elders fall. The numbers pile up. The pain does not fade.

The Shape of Harm

SUVs and sedans do most of the damage. In the last three years, SUVs and cars caused 30 moderate or serious pedestrian injuries. Trucks and buses hurt two more. Motorcycles and mopeds injured two. No bikes killed or seriously hurt anyone, but the city still talks about helmet laws and crosswalk rules. The danger comes on four wheels, heavy and fast.

Promises and Silence

The city says it wants zero deaths. It says every life matters. But Linden Boulevard stays wide and fast. Farmers Boulevard stays deadly. Cameras catch speeders, but the law that keeps them running is always at risk. The city can lower the speed limit to 20 mph. It has not. The council can act. The mayor can act. They wait.

What Now?

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never go dark.

Do not wait for another name to become a number.

Take action now.
