Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in SD 23?
No More Dead Kids: Bay Street’s Blood Is On Their Hands
SD 23: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 5, 2025
The Blood on Bay Street
Just last month, a 13-year-old boy on a moped collided with an MTA bus in Port Richmond. It was 1 a.m. The boy was left in critical condition, a head injury sending him to the hospital. The bus driver and three passengers walked away unhurt. No word on what led to the crash. The street was quiet, but not safe. A 13-year-old was critically injured in a collision with an MTA bus in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island.
A week before, a motorcyclist died after slamming into a car making a K-turn on Bay Street. The driver was unhurt. The rider never made it home. A motorcyclist was killed after colliding with a driver awkwardly turning their car on Staten Island during the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
In the last 12 months, SD 23 saw 7 deaths and 16 serious injuries from crashes. Over 1,800 people hurt. The dead include children, elders, riders, walkers. Cars and SUVs did most of the killing—8 deaths and hundreds hurt. Trucks and buses took more. Motorcycles and mopeds left bodies and broken bones. Bikes, too, but far fewer. The violence is steady. The names change. The pain stays.
Senator Scarcella-Spanton: Votes and Silence
Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton voted to curb repeat speeders, backing a bill to force dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. She said yes when it mattered. But when it came to renewing speed cameras near schools, she voted no—opposing a proven tool that protects children and the old. She called congestion pricing “the wrong plan for my constituents,” even as it promised fewer cars and safer crossings. The record is mixed. The streets are not safe.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your Senator. Demand action. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras at every school. Demand streets where a child can cross and live. The blood on the street is not an accident. It is a choice. Change it.
