Night death on 130th Street, and a pattern Precinct 102 already knows
Precinct 102: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 29, 2025
Just before 11 PM on Oct 22, 2025, a 55‑year‑old man walking near 130th Street and 90th Avenue was hit by a driver in a sedan and died, outside the intersection, recorded as CrashID 4852154 (NYC Open Data).
He was one of 21 people killed on the streets of Precinct 102 since Jan 1, 2022 (NYC Open Data; CrashCount analysis). Pedestrians account for 13 of those deaths and people on bikes for 1, with 7 motor‑vehicle occupants also killed (CrashCount small‑area rollup).
Woodhaven, Atlantic, Jackie Robinson: the map doesn’t lie
Woodhaven Boulevard leads the list, with 4 deaths and 121 injuries tied to that corridor (CrashCount small‑area rollup; NYC Open Data). Atlantic Avenue shows 2 deaths and 156 injuries. The Jackie Robinson Parkway toll is 2 deaths and 427 injuries (same sources).
These are not quirks. They are repeated harms at the same places.
Nights are dangerous; crossings are not safe enough
In the 10 PM hour, this precinct recorded 2 deaths and 4 serious injuries. The 8 PM hour shows 2 more deaths (CrashCount hourly rollup from NYC Open Data).
Police records in this area cite failure to yield, inattention, and disregarded signals among contributing factors in injuries (CrashCount small‑area rollup). People walking took the brunt: 494 injured, 13 killed. People biking: 163 injured, 1 killed (same sources).
What local fixes look like on these corners
On Woodhaven and Atlantic, protect the turns. Harden the corners. Add leading pedestrian intervals. Daylight the crosswalks. Where speeding is routine, add raised crossings and narrow lanes. At the late‑night hours when deaths mount, target enforcement for failure to yield and red‑light running (CrashCount small‑area analysis; NYC Open Data).
Stop the worst speeders; slow the default
The repeat‑speeder problem is not abstract. City cameras flag the same plates over and over. Under a proposed state bill, the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C), drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year would be forced to use tech that won’t let them exceed the limit by more than 5 MPH (CrashCount Take Action). In the past year, city cameras issued enough tickets that, under that standard, thousands would have been prevented after vehicles crossed the 16‑ticket mark (12,228 “preventable” speeding tickets in 2025 to date; 54,160 since 2022) (CrashCount analysis of NYC camera data in this area).
Sammy’s Law gives the city power to lower speeds. A 20 MPH default on local streets is the next step, backed by the same logic: slower speeds, fewer funerals (CrashCount Take Action).
Who’s responsible to act
This is Precinct 102 in Queens. The local Council district includes District 32. The state seats include Assembly District 24 and State Senate District 14.
Our record does not show whether Council Member Joann Ariola, Assembly Member David Weprin, or State Senator Leroy Comrie have sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act. What gives? (CrashCount site context.)
The precinct can focus enforcement at Woodhaven, Atlantic, and the Jackie Robinson ramps. The city can harden turns and lengthen walk time. Albany can pass the speed‑limiter bill. The tools sit on the table.
Take one concrete step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Start here.
