Queens Precinct 115: Crosswalks, Corners, and a Ledger of Hurt

Precinct 115: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025

On Sep 13 at 84 St and 35 Ave, the driver of a 2011 Toyota sedan turned right and hit a 57‑year‑old man in the marked crosswalk. Police recorded turning improperly and driver inattention; the man bled from the head and survived with serious injuries (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • On Sep 10 at 74 St and 31 Ave, a driver turned right and hit a man on a bike; police listed crush injuries to his leg (NYC Open Data).
  • On Sep 8 at 73 St and 31 Ave, a left‑turning driver hit a 45‑year‑old man on a bike (NYC Open Data).
  • Minutes later on 31 Ave at 73 St, a 25‑year‑old woman on a bike was hurt alongside a stopped sedan (NYC Open Data).

The count does not stop

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Precinct 115 there have been 5,768 crashes, with 19 people killed and 3,193 injured, including 33 serious injuries (NYC Open Data).

This year to date: 982 crashes, 1 death, 597 injuries, 11 serious injuries. In the same stretch last year: 1,176 crashes, 5 deaths, 731 injuries, 4 serious injuries (NYC Open Data).

In the last 12 months: 1 death, 857 injuries, 14 serious injuries, across 1,403 crashes (NYC Open Data).

Corners that break people

Police have logged repeated harm on 37 Avenue (4 deaths, 78 injuries) and on Northern Boulevard (1 death, 213 injuries) (NYC Open Data).

Risk climbs around the evening rush. At 5 PM, police records show 2 deaths and 170 injuries; at 6 PM, 1 death and 203 injuries. The numbers stay high into the night (NYC Open Data).

What police write down

On Sep 13 at 84 St and 35 Ave, police coded the driver’s errors as turning improperly and inattention (NYC Open Data).

On Mar 13, 2024 at 100 St and 31 Ave, a driver turning left failed to yield and, with distraction recorded, killed an 8‑year‑old boy who was crossing with the signal (NYC Open Data).

On Feb 1, 2024 at 90 St and 37 Ave, police marked unsafe speed and a traffic control run as a driver killed a 60‑year‑old woman (NYC Open Data).

Precinct 115 knows the map

The records point to the same acts again and again: failure to yield, running signals, inattention. The worst pain lands on people walking and biking. In this precinct since 2022, police list 8 people walking and 1 person on a bike killed, with hundreds more injured (NYC Open Data).

Fix the turns. Slow the cars.

Simple tools exist: daylighting at corners, hardened turns, longer leading pedestrian intervals, protected bike lanes where injuries stack up, and targeted enforcement at repeat hotspots like 37 Avenue and Northern Boulevard. Evening operations should match the harm curve.

Citywide tools exist too. Lower the default speed limit and rein in repeat speeders. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force habitual offenders to use speed limiters; advocates say it targets the small group that does outsized harm. “When regular people band together and demand safer streets, speed limits get lowered, laws get passed, streets get redesigned, and lives are saved,” said Families for Safe Streets (Families for Safe Streets).

Your local officials here are Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Assembly Member Steven Raga, and State Senator Toby Stavisky. The record provided does not show whether they back the Stop Super Speeders Act. What gives?

Lower speeds. Stop the repeats. Start where the bodies fall: the corners of this precinct. Act now at /take_action/.
