Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 46?
Blood on the Ballot: Who Lets Our Streets Kill?
AD 46: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
In Assembly District 46, the story is written in blood on the street. Ten people have died since 2022. Two were killed in the last twelve months. Sixteen more suffered serious injuries—the kind that do not heal. The numbers are not just numbers. They are mothers, sons, elders, children. A 95-year-old woman, dead at the intersection of Cropsey and 24th. A 24-year-old cyclist, crushed on Neptune Avenue. A 72-year-old woman, struck crossing Marine Avenue. The list does not end. It only grows.
The Vehicles That Kill
Cars and SUVs are the main killers. They caused three deaths and over 300 injuries (NYC crash data). Trucks and buses did their share—24 people hurt, one killed. Motorcycles and mopeds, ten more injured. Bikes, too, but the toll is smaller. The street does not care who you are. It only cares who is bigger, faster, heavier.
Leadership: Votes Against Safety
Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny has not stood with the dead. He voted against extending school speed zones—against the cameras that catch the drivers who speed past children. He voted to weaken bus rules, making the street more dangerous for those outside a car. He co-sponsored a bill to repeal congestion pricing, a move that would put more cars on the road and more bodies in the morgue. When bills came up to make school zones safer, he voted no. Again and again, the answer was no. The silence is not neutral. It is a choice.
The Path Forward
This is not fate. It is policy. Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. Call Brook-Krasny. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that work, laws that protect, streets that do not kill. Do not wait for another name on the list.
