Hylan takes and takes. Who will stop it?
AD 64: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 30, 2025
Just after 9 AM at Hylan Boulevard and Benton Avenue, an 80‑year‑old man started across. A northbound SUV hit him. He died at the hospital (Gothamist).
He was one of 12 people killed on AD 64 streets since Jan 1, 2022, alongside 1,969 injured in 3,561 crashes (NYC Open Data). The harm does not let up.
Hylan at Bay: death in plain view
Hylan Boulevard keeps showing the same wounds. One segment logged 4 deaths and 165 injuries; another saw 1 death and 305 injuries over this period. Richmond Road added 129 injuries (NYC Open Data). Drivers turning left killed a 57‑year‑old woman at Hylan and Jefferson. A 64‑year‑old woman died after a left‑turning SUV on Mason Avenue crushed her crossing path (NYC Open Data – CrashID 4771158, CrashID 4777953).
Confusing bus lane signs along Hylan help set up crashes. “That’s one accident every four days,” said Borough President Vito Fossella about drivers who think they must turn from the middle lane (amNY). The city put up mixed messages; people bled where they turned.
When the street is full, the body count climbs
Hurt piles up in the afternoon. Injuries peak at 3 PM (155) and 4 PM (144), then stay high at 5 PM (118) (NYC Open Data). Death strikes across the clock: late morning, early night, near midnight. The pattern is steady, not random.
Pedestrians bear the brunt. SUVs and sedans are tied to most pedestrian injuries here; trucks and buses kill too (NYC Open Data). Distraction and failure to yield show up again and again in the fatal files along Hylan and nearby crossings (NYC Open Data – select crash records).
Bay Ridge wakes to a funeral
Across the bridge, still within this district, a moped rider died in Bay Ridge. Police say the car driver was drunk and unlicensed. “He never stopped working,” said the victim’s brother. “He had a lot of love for his family” (NY Daily News, Gothamist). A passenger broke bones. Another family cut down.
The numbers rise; the votes lag
Year to date, this area logged 753 crashes, 505 injured, 3 dead, up from 586 crashes, 296 injured, 1 dead at this time last year (NYC Open Data). While crashes multiply, the paper trail from Albany and City Hall runs thin.
Assembly Member Mike Tannousis sponsored A 6680 to repeal congestion pricing. He voted no on school‑zone safety bills S 5677 and A 7652, and missed votes on S 7678 and S 7785. He voted yes to loosen bus‑lane rules for some employees (S 6815). On a bill to extend and fix school speed‑zone law (S 8344), he was excused (Open States).
Council Member David Carr and State Senator Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton represent this area too. The record above is clear for one officeholder. For the rest, the silence is its own entry.
Fix what kills on Hylan and Richmond
Start where people die: hardened left turns and daylighted corners at Hylan’s crossings; leading pedestrian intervals where walkers were hit in the crosswalk; clear, consistent bus‑lane signage to stop right turns from the middle lane (amNY). Targeted failure‑to‑yield and distraction enforcement at the hot spots named here.
Then finish the job citywide. Lower the default speed limit. Require speed‑limiting tech for repeat camera violators. The tools and bills are on the table; the body count is on the street. Act now. /take_action/.
