Three Dead, 450 Hurt—Staten Island Streets Are Killing Us

Mariner’S Harbor-Arlington-Graniteville: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Numbers Do Not Lie

Three dead. Five seriously hurt. In Mariner’s Harbor-Arlington-Graniteville, the years grind on and the bodies keep coming. From January 2022 to June 2025, there have been 902 crashes. 450 people injured. The dead do not get second chances. The injured carry scars the rest of us cannot see. NYC Open Data

Who Pays the Price

A 73-year-old man, crossing at Forest and South, struck by a van and left dead at the intersection. A 26-year-old, ejected from a car on Goethals Road North, crushed and gone. A 25-year-old, thrown from his motorcycle on Dixon Avenue, chest caved in, helmet on, still dead. These are not numbers. These are lives ended in the street.

Pedestrians and riders are not safe here. In the last twelve months, one person killed, one seriously hurt. 138 injured. Children, elders, workers. The road does not care.

What Has Been Done—And What Has Not

The city talks of Vision Zero. The state passed Sammy’s Law, letting New York City lower speed limits. But here, the pace is slow. No new protected bike lanes. No major redesigns. The same wide roads, the same blind corners. Cameras catch speeders, but only where they are installed. The rest is luck.

Local leaders have not delivered the changes that save lives. No record of bold action. No public fight for more cameras, more street redesigns, more protection for those outside a car. The silence is loud.

What Comes Next

This is not fate. This is policy. Every delay is another family broken. The city has the power to lower speed limits. The council can demand safer streets. The state can keep speed cameras running. But nothing changes unless you force it.

Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand more cameras. Demand streets built for people, not just cars.

Do not wait for the next siren. Take action now.
