Crashes that killed people cluster at night and in the evening — two around 3 AM, one near 5 AM, another around 6 PM, and one near 8 PM. NYC Open Data

Police have logged fatal cases where drivers disregarded traffic control, and many injury cases tied to distraction and failure to yield. These are choices with bodies attached. NYC Open Data

What would stop the next hit

Start at the corners that maim: Hillside Avenue, Jamaica Avenue, and Francis Lewis Boulevard. Daylight the approaches. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened turns so drivers take it slow and see who is in front of them. Focus night operations where deaths stack up. These are standard fixes that match the patterns here. NYC Open Data

Citywide changes matter on these blocks. Lower speeds save lives, and the city now has the power to set safer limits. Our own guide lays out how to press leaders to use that power and to pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to fit repeat speeders with limiters. /take_action/

Who is responsible now

This is Council District 27, Assembly District 29, and State Senate District 14. Council Member Nantasha M. Williams is the primary sponsor of a crackdown bill on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025). The measure sits in committee. NYC Council – Legistar

In Albany, State Senator Leroy Comrie has supported curbing repeat speeders in committee votes and co‑sponsored the speed‑limiter bill noted above. He also voted yes on extending school speed zones (S 8344). Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman voted yes on that same school speed zone bill. Open States

The toll is not abstract. A woman on Francis Lewis. A teen on a scooter. An older man on Jamaica Avenue with the light. The next name is still blank. The tools exist. Use them. /take_action/
