Early morning death at Bloomingdale and Veterans
Annadale-Huguenot-Prince’s Bay-Woodrow: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 8, 2025
Just after dawn at Veterans Rd E and Bloomingdale Rd, a driver in a 2024 Mazda SUV hit a 66-year-old woman who was walking. She died at the scene. Police records list her as a pedestrian killed at the intersection.
This Week
- Sep 13: at Deisius St and Androvette Ave, a driver turning left injured a 16-year-old girl who was crossing; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (NYPD crash data).
- Aug 31: at Hylan Blvd and Sharrott Ave, a 73-year-old driver was hurt; police cited driver inattention (NYPD crash data).
- Aug 27: at Amboy Rd and Arden Ave, a 14-year-old on an e‑bike collided with a Jeep SUV and was injured (NYPD crash data).
The toll on these streets
Since 2022, this area has seen 982 crashes, with 558 people injured and 4 killed. Children are in the count: 101 injuries to people under 18. Older neighbors too: 1 death among people 65–74 and 1 among those 75+. SUVs and cars are tied to most pedestrian injuries here; trucks and buses appear less often but include a death. (All figures from NYC Open Data; see FAQ.)
The danger is daily. Injuries peak in the late afternoon into evening, with the hour around 5 PM seeing the most harm. Pedestrians keep getting hit on Hylan Boulevard and Arden Avenue, two of the worst spots named in the city’s data. (NYPD crash data)
What police already wrote down
On Sep 13 at Deisius and Androvette, police recorded failure to yield by the turning driver when the 16‑year‑old was struck. On Aug 28 at Drumgoole Rd E and Foster Rd, police recorded unsafe speed before a crash that injured a 32‑year‑old. At Hylan and Sharrott on Aug 31, police recorded driver inattention in the injury of the 73‑year‑old. These are not mysteries. They are the same mistakes, repeated. (Sep 13 crash, Aug 28 crash, Aug 31 crash)
Across Staten Island, confusion turns into metal and blood. On Hylan Boulevard, even the borough president said the signs are a mess: “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane in order to make a right‑hand turn.” (amNY)
This year is not easing up
Crashes are rising. Year to date, this area has 203 crashes, up 13.4% from 179 at this point last year, with 113 injuries (up from 106) and 1 death where there were none by this time last year. Serious injuries are up too. (NYC Open Data)
Hot corners, simple fixes
- Hylan Boulevard and Arden Avenue keep showing up in injury tallies. Segments near Seguine Avenue include a death and a serious injury. (NYC Open Data)
- The worst hours cluster in the late day and evening, when crossings fill and drivers push. (NYC Open Data)
Concrete steps fit the pattern here: daylighting corners, hardened left turns, leading pedestrian intervals, and targeted enforcement at those hours. Truck routing and better turn signage on Hylan would keep people out of harm’s way. (Data and locations from NYC Open Data; see FAQ.)
Power sits with named people
Council Member Frank Morano has put his name on a bill to fix broken street furniture fast, which includes things that protect people on foot and bike (Int. 1386‑2025). He has also signed onto micromobility bills; the record is mixed. (See timeline.)
State Senator Andrew Lanza voted yes in committee on the state’s repeat‑speeder bill on Jun 11, then voted no the next day (S 4045). He also voted no on the bill to extend and fix school speed zones in the city (S 8344) and was listed among city lawmakers who opposed the speed‑camera program’s reauthorization (Streetsblog NYC).
Assembly Member Mike Reilly voted no on that school‑zone speed bill in the Assembly as well (S 8344) and appeared on the same list of speed‑camera opponents (Streetsblog NYC).
Lowering speeds and stopping repeat speeders are on the table. NYC now has the power to set slower limits, and Albany can require speed limiters for habitual speeders. The bills exist. The votes are on record. Act here: Take Action.

Co-sponsor: Council Member Julie Menin. The bill requires agencies and their contractors to repair or replace damaged or missing street furniture within three months, to keep a public log of notices, and to publish an annual report.

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Morano co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

Lanza Opposes Safety-Boosting Speed Camera Program Reauthorization▸Jun 23 - Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Morano sponsors primary bill requiring prompt street furniture repairs, boosting pedestrian and cyclist safety.▸Sep 10 - Int. 1386 forces agencies to fix or replace broken street furniture within three months and publish repair logs. It restores bike racks, bus shelters and bollards that shield pedestrians and cyclists.
Bill: Int. 1386-2025. Status: Sponsorship. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: LS #17596 filed 9/4/2025; event recorded 9/10/2025. The matter is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York in relation to requiring prompt repair of street furniture." Primary sponsor: Council Member Frank Morano. Co-sponsor: Council Member Julie Menin. The bill requires agencies and their contractors to repair or replace damaged or missing street furniture within three months, to keep a public log of notices, and to publish an annual report.

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Lanza Opposes Safety-Boosting Speed Camera Program Reauthorization▸Jun 23 - Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.

On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.'

Confusing Bus Lane Signs Spur Crashes▸Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.

Aug 5 - Poor DOT signs on Hylan Boulevard sow chaos. Drivers turn from the wrong lane. Collisions mount. Bus lane rules shift by the hour. The street stays dangerous for those on foot and bike.
According to amny (2025-08-05), collisions on Hylan Boulevard have risen due to unclear DOT signage about bus lane hours. Borough President Vito Fossella noted, “That’s one accident every four days where somebody perhaps unwittingly thinks they must turn from the middle lane.” The article reports 32 crashes in 2025 tied to drivers making right turns from the middle lane instead of the curb-side bus lane. Some signs list hours, others only say 'Bus Corridor Photo,' confusing drivers. The lack of clear, consistent information leaves intersections hazardous, especially for vulnerable road users. The report highlights a pressing need for better signage and clearer policy.

Morano co-sponsors bill that reduces street safety for pedestrians and cyclists.▸Jul 14 - Council bill lets ambulettes drive and double-park in bus lanes. More vehicles in bus lanes mean more risk for people walking, biking, and waiting at curbs. Danger grows where curb chaos reigns.
Bill Int 1339-2025 sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure since July 14, 2025. The bill, titled 'A Local Law to amend the administrative code...exempting ambulettes from certain bus lane restrictions and allowing them to double park to assist passengers,' would let ambulettes drive, stop, and double-park in bus lanes to help passengers. Council Member Julie Menin sponsors, joined by Linda Lee, Frank Morano, Eric Dinowitz, Lynn C. Schulman, Kamillah Hanks, Carlina Rivera, and Chris Banks. Allowing more vehicles to double-park and block bus lanes increases risk for pedestrians and cyclists at the curb. The city’s most vulnerable will face more conflict and less safe space.

The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.
