Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Queens Village?
Left Turning, Life Ending: Queens Streets Demand Action
Queens Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025
Blood on the Asphalt
A man steps into the crosswalk. A truck turns left. He is crushed. On Hillside Avenue and 212th Street, a 29-year-old pedestrian was killed by a box truck. The cause: driver inattention. The truck kept moving. The man did not. NYC Open Data
In the last twelve months, two people died on Queens Village streets. 318 were injured. Not one was marked as a serious injury, but the wounds run deep. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared. NYC Open Data
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Since 2022, Queens Village has seen five deaths and 921 injuries from 1,551 crashes. Cars and trucks did the killing. No bikes. No mopeds. Just steel and speed. NYC Open Data
A 64-year-old man died behind the wheel. A 76-year-old woman too. Both lost to unsafe speed and ignored signals. The old and the young, all at risk. NYC Open Data
Leadership: Words and Waiting
The city talks of Vision Zero. They count the dead. They promise action. But the pace is slow. The carnage is not. In Queens, the District Attorney called it “a horrific death for the victim” when a man was dragged three blocks by a fleeing driver. “The conduct displayed that evening demonstrates a complete disregard for human life,” said Queens DA Melinda Katz.
Local leaders have the power to lower speed limits. They have the power to redesign streets. They have the power to act.
The Next Step Is Yours
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home.
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the road. Take action now.

The MTA’s Queens Bus Network Redesign, announced December 12, 2023, proposes $30 million in service upgrades and expands local routes from 83 to 91. The plan, under review since 2020, aims to boost 10-minute-or-better service for 200,000 more residents, raising coverage from 60.1% to 68.9%. The official summary states the redesign will 'streamline and speed up service.' Council Transportation Chair Selvena Brooks-Powers voiced 'serious concerns' about disadvantages for her district, especially with congestion pricing. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, once critical, now supports the draft after public outreach.

Senate bill S 6808, titled 'Relates to establishing first responder safety zones and setting speed limits in such safety zones,' moved through committee and passed multiple Senate votes between May 2023 and March 2024. Primary sponsor John Mannion led the push, joined by Joseph P. Addabbo Jr., Iwen Chu, and Pamela Helming. The bill aims to carve out protected zones for first responders and lower speed limits in those areas. The measure passed with broad support, reflecting urgency after repeated crashes near emergency scenes. The bill’s text and votes show lawmakers responding to the deadly toll of reckless driving near first responders. Vulnerable road users—pedestrians, passengers, and responders—stand in harm’s way.

Comrie Seeks Clarity on Queens Bus Redesign Confusion▸MTA plans $30 million for Queens bus overhaul. Eight new routes. More frequent service for thousands. Stops spaced farther apart. Most riders keep their stops. Councilmember Brooks-Powers doubts gains for her district. Borough President Richards backs the plan. Rollout not before 2025.
The MTA’s Queens Bus Network Redesign, announced December 12, 2023, proposes $30 million in service upgrades and expands local routes from 83 to 91. The plan, under review since 2020, aims to boost 10-minute-or-better service for 200,000 more residents, raising coverage from 60.1% to 68.9%. The official summary states the redesign will 'streamline and speed up service.' Council Transportation Chair Selvena Brooks-Powers voiced 'serious concerns' about disadvantages for her district, especially with congestion pricing. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, once critical, now supports the draft after public outreach. State Senator Leroy Comrie noted Brooks-Powers wants clarity for her community, not outright rejection. The redesign awaits further input and is expected no sooner than 2025. No safety analyst has assessed the impact on vulnerable road users.
