February was a bad month for pedestrian fatalities. Five pedestrians were killed on by motor vehicles on the streets of Queens, the highest tally since October.  Nonetheless, many fewer pedestrians and cyclists were injured by motor vehicles in Queens this month than at any time in over three years. There were 164 pedestrian and cyclist injuries, sharply fewer than the 220 injuries in February 2014.   The short month and cold weather were certainly factors, but hopefully this at least partially reflects a trend that can be sustained as the weather warms.

Across the borough, many NYPD precincts notably stepped up enforecement actions against drivers failing to yield right of way to pedestrians, most notably precincts 103, 104, 108, 109, 110, and 112.

Precincts 108, 112, 115 continued their trend of increasing enforcement against speeding.
