After-school light. A child in the crosswalk. A bus keeps going.
AD 48: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 5, 2025

Corners that don’t forgive

At Avenue I and E. 5th St. about 9:30 PM, a 70‑year‑old man crossing near home was hit and killed. “A 70-year-old man crossing a Brooklyn street around the corner from his home was fatally struck,” the paper reported. NY Daily News.
This is not random
In March, a driver sped through a red light in Midwood. Black box data “showed she was driving at 68 mph and never hit the brakes,” prosecutors said. The crash killed a mother and two daughters in the crosswalk. Brooklyn’s district attorney called it “one of the worst collisions he has seen on a New York City street.” NY Daily News.
These are choices, and designs that allow them. Harden the turns. Add daylighting at the corners. Give people on foot a head start with LPIs. Keep trucks off cut‑throughs. Target enforcement where the data points: Fort Hamilton Parkway, 13th Avenue, Avenue L. Sources: NYC Open Data.
Power sits with people who can act
Albany kept the school‑zone camera program alive, but our local Assembly Member, Simcha Eichenstein (AD 48), voted no on the bill to extend and correct the school‑zone law. Open States, Streetsblog.
Citywide fixes are on the table now. The city can lower more streets to 20 MPH under Sammy’s Law. And the Legislature can pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Details and contacts are here.
One block. One family. Then another. Don’t wait for the next siren. Act: push the city and state to slow the cars.

Eichenstein Opposes Safety Boosting Speed Camera Program Reauthorization▸Jun 23 - Eleven city lawmakers voted no on speed cameras. Their votes keep streets exposed. Pedestrians and cyclists lose a shield. Reckless drivers win. The city’s most basic defense—rejected. The toll will be measured in blood, not words.
On June 13 and June 17, 2025, the New York State Senate and Assembly voted on reauthorizing New York City's school zone speed camera program. The Senate passed the measure 38-21; three city senators—Stephen Chan, Andrew Lanza, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton—voted no. The Assembly passed it 110-31, with nine city lawmakers—Alec Brook-Krasny, Lester Chang, Simcha Eichenstein, Michael Novakhov, Stacey Pheffer Amato, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Reilly, David Weprin, Kalman Yeger—opposing. The Streetsblog NYC article, 'Ye Shall Know Their Names! Meet the Dirty Dozen City Pols Who Voted Against Speed Camera Program,' quotes lawmakers dismissing speed cameras as revenue grabs or burdens. The safety analyst notes: 'The event text does not describe a specific policy or legislative action, so no direct safety impact on pedestrians and cyclists can be assessed.' Still, the votes signal disregard for proven tools that protect those outside cars.
