Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in SD 17?
Senator Chan: Streets Run Red While You Stall
SD 17: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
In Senate District 17, the street is a gauntlet. Since 2022, 20 people have died and over 3,100 have been injured in traffic crashes. The numbers do not flinch. SUVs and cars alone have killed 6, injuring nearly 700. Trucks, motorcycles, bikes—they all leave their mark. The old, the young, the ones just trying to cross the street. No one is spared.
Just this January, a 95-year-old woman was struck and killed while crossing Cropsey Avenue with her home health aide. The van hit them turning left. She died at the hospital. Her aide survived. “Everybody knows her,” said her daughter. “She was a very active lady.” No arrest. No charges. The street swallows another life. Gothamist reported.
Last month, a hit-and-run driver killed a man in front of his son. “He didn’t stop. He just kept going,” said Henry Tziquin. The horror is routine. The grief is not.
Leadership: Votes and Silence
State Senator Steve Chan has voted for and against safety. He backed the Stop Super Speeders Act, which would force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. He voted to expand school speed cameras. But he also voted against the complete streets bill—a measure that would have made roads safer for everyone. He voted no on safer school speed zones. He voted yes to weaken bus lane rules, making streets riskier for those on foot and bike. The record is mixed. The danger is not.
The Numbers That Don’t Lie
In the last year, crashes in SD 17 rose by 19%. Injuries jumped 43%. Serious injuries doubled. Children, elders, workers—all at risk. The street does not care who you are. It only cares how fast you move and how hard you fall.
What Now? Demand More
This is not fate. This is policy. Call Senator Chan. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns. Demand action that puts people before cars. Every day of delay is another family broken.
