Right turn on 30th Street. A woman in the crosswalk. She never got up.
Precinct 114: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
Just off 39 Ave on Aug 31, a driver in a 2020 Ford SUV turned right at 30 St and hit a 38‑year‑old woman in a marked crosswalk. Police recorded failure to yield by the driver. She died. source
She was one of 26 people killed on streets in Precinct 114 since Jan 1, 2022. Year to date, 7 people are dead, up from 5 at this point last year. source
This Month
- Aug 31: A right‑turning SUV driver hit and killed a woman in the crosswalk at 30 St and 39 Ave; police cited failure to yield. source
- Aug 12: At 42 St and 19 Ave, two people walking and a 84‑year‑old driver died in a multi‑vehicle crash. source
Where the street fights back
Northern Boulevard leads the injury list. So does 34 Avenue, and 31 Avenue isn’t far behind. These are names, not abstractions. source
Deaths pile up in the dark and the dawn—4 AM, 8 AM, 11 PM all show bodies in the data. Police reports also log failure to yield and inattention. The pattern repeats. source
On Oct 22, 2024, a 36‑year‑old woman riding a bike was killed at 34 Ave and 37 St in a crash with a pickup. On Jan 2, 2025, a 53‑year‑old woman walking was killed by a bus at Ditmars Blvd and 31 St. On Feb 17, 2023, a 7‑year‑old girl was killed in a marked crosswalk at Newtown Rd and 45 St. Names don’t fade here. The corners do not forget. source
What Precinct 114 can do tomorrow
Focus enforcement where people die: Northern Boulevard and 34 Avenue. Watch turning drivers at crosswalks. Ticket failure to yield. source
The street fixes are simple and proven: daylight corners so people can see each other; give pedestrians a head start with leading walk signals; harden turns so drivers must slow. Trucks and buses need stricter turn control at known danger spots. These are not theories. They match what the crash maps show. source
Citywide tools, local lives
New York has tools on the table. Sammy’s Law lets the city set safer speed limits; a 20 MPH default on local streets would slow the blows. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would make repeat camera violators install speed limiters. Both are here, in plain view. source
Your representatives for this area are Council Member Tiffany Cabán (District 22), Assembly Member Jessica González‑Rojas (Assembly District 34), and State Senator Toby Stavisky (Senate District 11). The record here does not list their sponsorship of S4045C/A2299C. Will they back it now? source
“Families for Safe Streets is one of the most powerful advocacy forces I’ve ever seen in politics,” said former NYC Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. The fight is organized. The losses are too. source
The next move
Lower speeds. Harden the turns. Enforce the yield. Then keep going.
Take one step today. Ask City Hall and Albany to use the tools they already have. Act here.
