Queens Blvd Safety Model Must Expand | New York City News

Queens Boulevard turned around from “boulevard of death” to safer streets after major upgrades—traffic deaths dropped 68% and pedestrian injuries fell 35% between 2015 and 2024. But advocates warn: 50 other NYC roads are just as deadly, accounting for 21% of all traffic deaths and serious injuries since 2022. Over 2,300 schools sit near these high-risk corridors. They’re calling for urgent, targeted safety fixes—like the Queens Boulevard model—and citywide speed limits slashed to 20 mph, even 15 mph in school zones. Smart, tailored solutions are key—not one-size-fits-all—and businesses must be considered in the plan. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
