CloseBefore dawn on the Belt Parkway
Springfield Gardens (South)-Brookville: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 11, 2025
Just before dawn on Sep 12, 2025, on the Belt Parkway, a driver hit and killed a person walking. Police logged it as a pedestrian not at an intersection, with three westbound cars involved. NYC Open Data
This Week
- Sep 29: A driver rear‑ended another car on the Belt Parkway; one person was hurt. NYC Open Data
- Sep 27: A driver in a 2019 Toyota SUV crashed on a local street; he was injured. NYC Open Data
The toll does not let up
Since 2022, this neighborhood has logged 17 deaths and 1,955 injuries in traffic crashes. NYC Open Data
Crashes cluster on the expressways and feeders. The Belt Parkway alone accounts for 9 deaths and 697 injuries here. South Conduit Avenue adds 1 death and 210 injuries. NYC Open Data
Nights are brutal. At 3 AM, police records show four deaths since 2022. At 5 AM, three. At 6 AM, two. NYC Open Data
What police write down
In this area, officers recorded driver failures that kill people we love. “Failure to yield” appears with deaths and injuries in the logs. “Driver inattention/distraction” and “unsafe speed” are there too, including a speed‑related pedestrian injury crash on 144 Avenue. NYC Open Data
On the Conduit, even the borough president said the quiet part out loud. “The current state of the Conduit falls significantly short… it’s poorly designed… and we know the lack of sufficient pedestrian and bike infrastructure makes it even more dangerous,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said. Streetsblog NYC
Power sits with people who can act today
City Hall has tools and uses some of them. The DOT finished the Queens Boulevard overhaul and reported a drop in deaths there. AMNY
Albany moved on repeat speeders. The State Senate’s Stop Super Speeders bill advanced with a “yes” from State Senator James Sanders, who represents this area. Open States
Council Member Selvena N. Brooks‑Powers has pressed DOT on missed safety targets. “DOT gives us their word every hearing and we are not getting results,” she said. Streetsblog NYC
Make the deadly roads livable
The Belt and the Conduit cut through homes and jobs. People still have to cross. The records show who pays when drivers don’t yield, don’t look, or drive too fast. NYC Open Data
Proven moves are on the table:
- Slow the default speed on city streets, and keep it slow. Take action
- Pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat speeders statewide. Senator Sanders voted yes in committee. The Assembly can move its companion. Open States
- Harden crossings on South and North Conduit and along the Belt frontage: daylight corners, give pedestrians head starts, and add physical protection at known hotspots. NYC Open Data
One person died before dawn on the Belt. The map says who is next if nothing changes. Start here. Act now.

Richards Backs Safety‑Boosting NYC Snow Preparedness Plan▸Dec 3 - Officials unveiled NYC's 2026 snow plan in Queens. Crews, plows and brine will hit streets for a 5-7 inch storm. Sidewalks and bike lanes lacked explicit guarantees. Pedestrians and cyclists face the first risk.

Richards Backs Safety‑Boosting NYC Snow Preparedness Plan▸Dec 3 - Officials unveiled NYC's 2026 snow plan in Queens. Crews, plows and brine will hit streets for a 5-7 inch storm. Sidewalks and bike lanes lacked explicit guarantees. Pedestrians and cyclists face the first risk.
Not a bill. No committee. Meeting held Dec. 1; story published Dec. 3, 2025. Matter quoted: "NYC snow preparedness plans for 2026 unveiled during Queens borough meeting." Borough President Donovan J. Richards hosted. Antonio Whitaker, assistant director at DSNY, presented the borough's winter preparedness plans for fiscal year 2026. Officials touted more plows, brine application, Bladerunner tracking and coordination with DOT, MTA and parks. General snow-removal preparedness may aid overall mobility, but without explicit commitments to clear sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes, operations often prioritize car lanes and can hinder pedestrian and cyclist safety.

Richards Backs Safety‑Boosting NYC Snow Preparedness Plan▸Dec 3 - Officials unveiled NYC's 2026 snow plan in Queens. Crews, plows and brine will hit streets for a 5-7 inch storm. Sidewalks and bike lanes lacked explicit guarantees. Pedestrians and cyclists face the first risk.
Not a bill. No committee. Meeting held Dec. 1; story published Dec. 3, 2025. Matter quoted: "NYC snow preparedness plans for 2026 unveiled during Queens borough meeting." Borough President Donovan J. Richards hosted. Antonio Whitaker, assistant director at DSNY, presented the borough's winter preparedness plans for fiscal year 2026.

General snow-removal preparedness may aid overall mobility, but without explicit commitments to clear sidewalks, crosswalks, and bike lanes, operations often prioritize car lanes and can hinder pedestrian and cyclist safety.
