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 Criticizes Misguided Speed Camera Penalties Despite Safety Goals▸Jun 1 - State Senate passed bill to run speed cameras all day, every day. The vote was 51 to 12. Cameras now catch speeders at night and on weekends. Most deaths happen off-hours. Expansion aims to cut deadly crashes citywide.
On May 31, 2022, the State Senate approved a bill to extend and expand New York City's speed camera program. The measure passed 51-12 and now moves to the Assembly. The bill allows cameras to operate 24/7 in nearly 2,000 locations across 750 school zones until July 1, 2025. The matter summary states, 'The proposal to extend New York City's speed camera program for another three years and expand it to run every day and around the clock easily passed.' Senator Andrew Gounardes sponsored the bill, saying, 'We are going to see a marked reduction in traffic violence on our streets at a time when traffic deaths are at their highest in a decade.'

Jun 1 - State Senate passed bill to run speed cameras all day, every day. The vote was 51 to 12. Cameras now catch speeders at night and on weekends. Most deaths happen off-hours. Expansion aims to cut deadly crashes citywide.
On May 31, 2022, the State Senate approved a bill to extend and expand New York City's speed camera program. The measure passed 51-12 and now moves to the Assembly. The bill allows cameras to operate 24/7 in nearly 2,000 locations across 750 school zones until July 1, 2025. The matter summary states, 'The proposal to extend New York City's speed camera program for another three years and expand it to run every day and around the clock easily passed.' Senator Andrew Gounardes sponsored the bill, saying, 'We are going to see a marked reduction in traffic violence on our streets at a time when traffic deaths are at their highest in a decade.' Simcha Felder, Democrat from District 44, voted against. The expansion targets off-hours, which account for 59% of traffic deaths. Speeding dropped 72% and deaths fell 55% where cameras operated. The city pushed for this as fatalities rose under Mayor Adams. Some penalties for repeat speeders were removed during negotiations.
