Blood on the Asphalt, Silence from City Hall
Brooklyn CB2: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 8, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
A man tried to cross Washington Avenue at Fulton. A Ford Explorer hit him and kept going. He died at the hospital. The driver did not stop. No arrests. No answers. The driver of the Ford Explorer sped off without stopping, stunned witnesses told police.
A week before, a motorcyclist died on the BQE. The driver he hit was unlicensed, driving without a court-ordered ignition lock. Police made an arrest. The dead man’s name was Sean Johnson. He was 27. Police arrested 44-year-old Laura Cordova… for driving without a license and using a vehicle without ignition interlock.
A woman stepped out of a car on Flatbush Avenue. Another car struck her. She died. Both drivers stayed. No charges. No comfort.
In the last year, four people died on these streets. Ten more suffered serious injuries. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do.
The Pattern: Who Pays the Price
4,971 crashes. 2,357 people hurt.
The old. The young. The ones just trying to get home. Under 18: 129 injuries. Ages 25 to 34: 743 injuries, 2 dead. Ages 55 to 64: 227 injuries, 4 dead. The toll does not spare. The dead do not care about the type of vehicle. The living must.
Leaders Speak, But Streets Stay Deadly
City leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about speed cameras and new laws. They say, “We understand there is more work to do… one life lost to traffic violence is one life too many, but our administration remains committed to reducing traffic violence as much as any other form of violence.” But the streets do not listen to words. The city has the power to lower speed limits now. It has the power to keep cameras running. It has the power to act. Every day of delay is another day of risk.
What You Can Do
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never go dark. Demand streets where crossing does not mean gambling with your life.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Take action now.

DOT Plans Protected Bike Lane Court Street▸Court Street bleeds from double parking and swerving cars. Cyclists and walkers dodge danger daily. DOT will cut a lane, add a protected bike path, and shrink space for reckless driving. Fewer lanes, fewer crashes. Safety, not speed, takes the street.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-06-06) reports the Department of Transportation will install a protected bike lane on Brooklyn’s Court Street, a corridor plagued by double parking and sideswipe crashes. DOT’s Chris Brunson said, “The narrower street width for vehicles will de-incentivize double parking on the corridor.” The redesign removes a travel lane, adds a protected bike lane, and aims to curb driver behavior that leads to crashes. Between 2022 and 2024, 165 crashes on this mile-long stretch caused one death and injured 15 cyclists and 23 pedestrians. Most pedestrian injuries happened while crossing with the light, showing drivers failed to yield. The plan targets excess road capacity and prioritizes vulnerable users on a Vision Zero Priority Corridor.

Court Street bleeds from double parking and swerving cars. Cyclists and walkers dodge danger daily. DOT will cut a lane, add a protected bike path, and shrink space for reckless driving. Fewer lanes, fewer crashes. Safety, not speed, takes the street.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-06-06) reports the Department of Transportation will install a protected bike lane on Brooklyn’s Court Street, a corridor plagued by double parking and sideswipe crashes. DOT’s Chris Brunson said, “The narrower street width for vehicles will de-incentivize double parking on the corridor.” The redesign removes a travel lane, adds a protected bike lane, and aims to curb driver behavior that leads to crashes. Between 2022 and 2024, 165 crashes on this mile-long stretch caused one death and injured 15 cyclists and 23 pedestrians. Most pedestrian injuries happened while crossing with the light, showing drivers failed to yield. The plan targets excess road capacity and prioritizes vulnerable users on a Vision Zero Priority Corridor.
