CloseStaten Island Bleeds—Leaders Look Away
Arden Heights-Rossville: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
In Arden Heights-Rossville, the road does not forgive. Three people have died here since 2022. Another 154 have been hurt. Two suffered injuries so grave they may never walk the same. The numbers are not just numbers. They are lives cut short, bodies broken, families left with empty chairs.
Pedestrians do not stand a chance against steel. SUVs and sedans have struck down walkers at intersections and in the open street. One woman, 69, was crossing with no signal. She left the scene with her head bleeding, the SUV that hit her turning left, the driver distracted and failing to yield. Another, just 20, was hit by a sedan making a right turn. The data does not say if she screamed. It only says she was left with severe lacerations. NYC Open Data
The Policy That Wasn’t
The carnage is not fate. It is policy. Local leaders have the power to slow the bloodshed. But too often, they look away or vote no. Assembly Member Mike Reilly and State Senator Andrew Lanza both voted against reauthorizing New York City’s school speed camera program, a tool proven to save lives. Their names are listed among those who chose to let the cameras go dark.
When asked, the city says it is investigating. After an 80-year-old man was killed crossing Hylan Boulevard, police said they were “still investigating how fast the woman was driving and what the traffic signals at the intersection were displaying at the time.” Gothamist The dead man cannot answer.
The Silence of Power
Bills have been introduced. Some would lower e-bike speeds, others would force operators to display safety rules. But the bills that matter most—the ones that would slow cars, redesign streets, and keep repeat speeders off the road—stall or die. The silence is loud.
“A driver struck and killed an 80-year-old man who was walking across a busy Staten Island street a block from his home, police said Monday.” Gothamist
“Police officials said the man, neighborhood resident Chaosheng Wu, was crossing the boulevard from the east when a 65-year-old woman driving north in a 2008 Ford Edge hit him.” Gothamist
Call to Action
This is not an accident. It is a choice. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them to fight for lower speed limits, more cameras, and real street redesigns. Demand action. Every day they wait, someone else bleeds.

Lanza Supports Safety Boosting Hylan Boulevard Road Diet▸Jun 16 - DOT aims to shrink Hylan Boulevard. Fewer lanes. Painted bike paths. Cyclists and pedestrians bleed here. Council Member Borelli fights back. He calls it needless. DOT stands firm. Data shows danger. Staten Island drivers protest. Safety hangs in the balance.
On June 16, 2022, the NYC Department of Transportation proposed a 'road diet' for Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island. The plan would cut the road from four lanes to one in each direction, add a turning bay, and paint bike lanes. The DOT cites high injury and fatality rates, especially among cyclists, as the reason for action, referencing success from similar projects. Council Member Joe Borelli opposes the plan, saying, 'Thousands who use this road each day will be inconvenienced...all for the benefit of 251 aspiring Greg LeMonds who cycle this stretch on the weekends.' Borelli calls the plan unoriginal and unnecessary. DOT spokesman Vin Barone defends the proposal, pointing to injury data and safety gains. The plan remains a proposal as DOT reviews community feedback. No formal safety analyst assessment is available.

The DOT cites high injury and fatality rates, especially among cyclists, as the reason for action, referencing success from similar projects. Council Member Joe Borelli opposes the plan, saying, 'Thousands who use this road each day will be inconvenienced...all for the benefit of 251 aspiring Greg LeMonds who cycle this stretch on the weekends.' Borelli calls the plan unoriginal and unnecessary. DOT spokesman Vin Barone defends the proposal, pointing to injury data and safety gains.

Lanza Supports Safety Boosting Hylan Boulevard Road Diet▸Jun 16 - DOT aims to shrink Hylan Boulevard. Fewer lanes. Painted bike paths. Cyclists and pedestrians bleed here. Council Member Borelli fights back. He calls it needless. DOT stands firm. Data shows danger. Staten Island drivers protest. Safety hangs in the balance.
On June 16, 2022, the NYC Department of Transportation proposed a 'road diet' for Hylan Boulevard in Staten Island. The plan would cut the road from four lanes to one in each direction, add a turning bay, and paint bike lanes. The DOT cites high injury and fatality rates, especially among cyclists, as the reason for action, referencing success from similar projects. Council Member Joe Borelli opposes the plan, saying, 'Thousands who use this road each day will be inconvenienced...all for the benefit of 251 aspiring Greg LeMonds who cycle this stretch on the weekends.' Borelli calls the plan unoriginal and unnecessary. DOT spokesman Vin Barone defends the proposal, pointing to injury data and safety gains.

Council Member Joe Borelli opposes the plan, saying, 'Thousands who use this road each day will be inconvenienced...all for the benefit of 251 aspiring Greg LeMonds who cycle this stretch on the weekends.' Borelli calls the plan unoriginal and unnecessary. DOT spokesman Vin Barone defends the proposal, pointing to injury data and safety gains. The plan remains a proposal as DOT reviews community feedback. No formal safety analyst assessment is available.
