Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 45?
Children Bleed, Politicians Stall: How Many More Must Die on Brooklyn’s Streets?
AD 45: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 21, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
In Assembly District 45, the street is a wound that never closes. Since 2022, at least 18 people have died and over 2,100 have been injured in traffic crashes. The dead include children, elders, mothers. The living carry scars you cannot see.
Just days ago, an 11-year-old boy was struck near a playground on Bedford Avenue. Police say he is in stable condition. There is no word yet on how it happened. The investigation drags on. The street remains the same. “There is no word yet on how the accident happened.”
On July 8, a 90-year-old man was killed crossing East 14th Street. A blue moped hit him and fled. His head was split open. A witness described the scene: “He hit the guy and he left.” The city keeps counting. The dead do not.
The Numbers That Do Not Lie
Five children have died in the last year. Eight deaths total. Serious injuries are rising—up 150% over last year. The killers are cars, SUVs, mopeds, taxis. The pattern is clear. The pain is not random. It is built into the street.
Leadership: Votes Against the Living
Assembly Member Misha Novakhov has voted against extending school speed zones and against the city’s speed camera program. He has called for higher speed limits on Ocean Parkway. He has dismissed the need for speed limiters on repeat offenders, saying, “any driver can get much more than six” tickets in a year. He has dismissed the need for speed limiters on repeat offenders.
Novakhov has sponsored bills for more paperwork, more licensing, more insurance for e-scooters. He has not led on redesigning streets or slowing cars. The street stays fast. The children stay dead.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns. Demand that repeat speeders are stopped before they kill again.
Do not wait for another child to die.
