Who Pays for Complacency? Bellerose Bleeds, Leaders Stall
Bellerose: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Bellerose: No Deaths, But the Wounds Run Deep
In Bellerose, the numbers do not scream, but they do not lie. Since 2022, one person has died, and 438 have been injured in 751 crashes. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. In the last year alone, 168 people were hurt. Nineteen were under 18. The oldest victim was 92, killed behind the wheel, airbag deployed, life ended on Union Turnpike. The young are bruised, the old are broken, and the rest carry the scars.
Recent Crashes: The Same Story, Again and Again
The pattern is relentless. On June 13, a 30-year-old woman was left with a head injury after her SUV struck another car on the Grand Central Parkway.NYC Open Data On June 4, a 38-year-old man was bruised in a crash at Jericho Turnpike.NYC Open Data On May 16, a 21-year-old woman suffered abdominal pain after a collision on the Cross Island Parkway.NYC Open Data The details change. The pain does not.
Most injuries come from cars and SUVs. In three years, not a single pedestrian was killed by a bike or moped. But sedans and SUVs have left dozens of pedestrians hurt. The numbers are cold, but the truth is clear: the danger comes from heavy, fast machines.
What Leaders Have Done—and What They Haven’t
Local leaders have moved, but not always forward. State Senator Toby Stavisky voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed-limiting devices. Assembly Member Ed Braunstein voted to extend school speed zones, protecting children at the curb. Council Member Linda Lee, meanwhile, co-sponsored a bill to let ambulettes double-park and block bus lanes, squeezing the most vulnerable at the curb.
Some leaders fight for safety. Others make it harder to walk, ride, or wait for a bus.
The Call: Demand More Than Words
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made upstream. Call your council member. Call your state senator. Tell them: Enough. No more loopholes for drivers. No more blocked bus lanes. No more waiting for the next name to become a number.
Demand action. Demand safe streets. Demand it now.

Braunstein Supports Safety Boosting Queens Express Bus Expansion▸May 16 - Queens lawmakers demand more express buses before the $15 congestion toll hits. They say MTA left Queens behind. Riders in transit deserts face long, costly trips. Lawmakers call the exclusion unacceptable. They want fair service before new fees begin.
On May 16, 2024, ten Queens lawmakers, including Julia Salazar (District 18), urged the MTA to expand express bus service to Queens before the $15 Manhattan congestion toll starts. The group wrote to MTA chairman Janno Lieber, stating, "Express buses play a vital role in Queens’ public transit network and only stand to become even more pivotal in the near and distant future." They criticized the MTA for boosting express bus service in Brooklyn and Staten Island but not Queens, calling the exclusion "unacceptable."
