Afternoon at 115th and 227th
SD 14: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 6, 2025
A man on a bike went down at 115th Avenue and 227th Street in the afternoon. He died there on Sept 22 in Cambria Heights, police records show (NYC Open Data; amNY).
The pattern on these streets
He was one of 31 people killed in crashes in Senate District 14 since 2022, with 8,973 injured in that span, according to city crash data compiled for this district (NYC Open Data). Year to date, crashes in this district are up 4.8% over last year, and deaths are up 16.7%, the same data show (NYC Open Data).
This is not one corner. On Liberty Avenue by the Van Wyck service road, two people crossing were hit; one died, police said (NY Daily News).
Speed is the lever; use it
Albany armed the city with tools. The Senate advanced a bill to put electronic speed limiters on repeat offenders. State Sen. Leroy Comrie co‑sponsored and voted yes on S 4045 in committee on Jun 11 and Jun 12, 2025 (Open States).
City leaders don’t need another vigil to act. The power to lower speed limits exists. The city is already creating 20 MPH zones, and it can make more, faster (our Take Action).
Hold the line from the corner out
This district includes Jamaica, St. Albans, Cambria Heights, Hollis, and more. Crashes keep coming. The bodies add up in the data even when the names don’t.
Set lower speeds on local streets. Back the speed‑limiter bill until it is law and enforced.
One man fell on 115th and 227th. The next one is avoidable if we choose it to be.
Take one step now: tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Act here.
