Evening left turn. One woman never made it across.
AD 59: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just before 7 PM on Jan 10, 2025, at Avenue L and E 88 St, a Honda SUV turned left and hit a woman in the crosswalk. NYPD coded the crash as a failure to yield. She died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
She is one of 17 people killed on these streets since 2022. At least 10 were pedestrians. Another 3,200 were hurt (NYC Open Data).

Nights cut deepest on these blocks
Evenings are when lives end here. The data show 4 deaths around 6 PM, 3 at 9 PM, and 3 at 10 PM over the period reviewed (NYC Open Data). The body count climbs after dark and does not stop.
The danger clusters. The Belt Parkway is a slaughter line: 5 deaths and 529 injuries tied to that corridor. Avenue L also stands out, with a death and dozens hurt (NYC Open Data).
—
Speed and turning. The pattern repeats.
On Jan 27, 2024, at East 81 St and Glenwood Rd, a 14‑year‑old was killed in a crash flagged as speed‑related (NYC Open Data). On Avenue L, NYPD logged the deadly strike as a left‑turn failure to yield. Different corners. Same result.
Cyclists have been cut down by hazards that never should have been there. On the Marine Parkway Bridge path, riders hit invisible string stretched across the way. “It’s absolutely dangerous and unacceptable,” said community leader Danny Mundy (Gothamist).

The record shows who acts — and who stalls
Assembly Member Jaime Williams co‑sponsored complete‑streets bills A 1077 and A 1280. She also voted yes to extend school speed‑zone protections in S 8344. But she joined a rally condemning congestion pricing, calling it unfair (Brooklyn Paper). The streets here remain bloody either way.
Council Member Mercedes Narcisse and State Senator Roxanne Persaud represent overlapping turf in this district. The deaths and injuries above are on their watch (NYC Open Data).

Make the corners merciful
The fixes are not exotic: daylight the crosswalks, give walkers a head start, harden left turns, and slow the straightaways on Flatlands Ave, Rockaway Pkwy, and the residential grid. Target evening hours. Protect the bridge path where riders keep getting hurt.
Citywide, two steps will save lives on every block: lower default speeds and force repeat speeders’ cars to obey the limit. The path to those fights starts here.
One woman died crossing Avenue L. That is the whole story. It repeats until someone stops it.
Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to slow our streets and rein in repeat speeders. Act at CrashCount: Take Action.
