Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in AD 59?
Sixteen Dead: Assembly 59’s Streets Run Red While Leaders Stall
AD 59: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
The Blood on the Asphalt
In Assembly District 59, the numbers do not lie. Sixteen people killed. Thirty-six left with injuries so grave they are called serious. More than 3,000 hurt since 2022. The dead include children, elders, and those just trying to cross the street. The living carry scars.
Just weeks ago, a motorcyclist was killed at Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U. The FDNY called it an “incident under investigation,” as reported by ABC7. The pain is not abstract. It is a body on the road, a family waiting at the hospital.
Cyclists are not spared. On the Marine Parkway Bridge, riders keep running into a string stretched across the path. One cyclist described the pain: “I felt pain, but I didn’t know what it was and there was nobody around me.” Another recalled “an incredible amount of blood” and the unforgettable look of someone who “just had their throat cut.” The NYPD has found no crime. The danger remains.
The Record of Leadership
Assembly Member Jaime Williams has voted to extend school speed zones and expand speed cameras. She co-sponsored bills to require safer street designs. She has also voted to weaken bus rules, a move that puts pedestrians and cyclists at greater risk. When the city needed more speed cameras, she voted no.
Williams stood with other Brooklyn politicians to condemn congestion pricing, calling it unfair to transit deserts. But the cars keep coming. The bodies keep falling.
The Next Steps
This is not fate. It is policy. Every day the speed limit stays high, every day enforcement is weak, another family waits for a call that never should come.
Call Assembly Member Jaime Williams. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real street redesigns. Demand action, not excuses.
The dead cannot speak. The living must.
