Children Bleed While Politicians Wait: Demand 20 MPH Now
Breezy Point-Belle Harbor-Rockaway Park-Broad Channel: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Behind the Pain
Three dead. Fifty-three injured. That is the toll in Breezy Point-Belle Harbor-Rockaway Park-Broad Channel over the past year. The dead do not come back. The injured carry scars—some seen, some not. City crash data
Pedestrians are not spared. In December, a 79-year-old man was struck while emerging from behind a parked car. He survived, but with a torn head and blood on the street. In March, a child was killed on the North Channel Bridge. The data does not say his name. It only says: head injury, internal, apparent death. Crash records
Crashes do not slow. In the last twelve months, there were 115 crashes. Three were fatal. Three left people with injuries so severe they may never walk the same. The rest are numbers, but each number is a life changed. Crash statistics
Who Pays the Price
No one is safe. Children, elders, cyclists, and walkers all bleed the same. Cars and SUVs are the main weapons. In the last year, sedans and SUVs killed and maimed. Trucks and buses did not kill, but they have before. Bikes did not kill anyone here, but they are not the threat. Vehicle involvement data
What Has Been Done—And What Has Not
The city talks of Vision Zero. There are new speed cameras, new laws, and promises. But in these streets, the blood keeps coming. Sammy’s Law passed. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit here is not yet 20. The cameras are not everywhere. The deaths are not stopping. Vision Zero progress
Local leaders have the power. They can demand lower speeds. They can push for more cameras, safer crossings, and real redesigns. They can act, or they can wait for the next call in the night.
Act Now—Or Count the Dead
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets where a child can cross and come home.
Do not wait for another name to become a number. Take action now.
