Bed-Stuy’s Dead Hours, and the Fixes We Keep Waiting For

Brooklyn CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 23, 2025

Since Jan 1, 2022, Brooklyn CB3 has recorded 18 deaths, 3,796 injuries, and 7,042 crashes. The harm is steady and local NYC Open Data.

Nights run hot

Year to date, crashes are little changed from last year (1,312 vs. 1,338), but deaths are up a third (4 vs. 3), injuries up 14%, and serious injuries up 63.6% in this community board NYC Open Data.

Corners that don’t forgive

Five corridors carry much of the pain: Bedford Avenue, Broadway, Ralph Avenue, Tompkins Avenue, and Myrtle Avenue. Bedford and Broadway each count 2 deaths alongside scores of injuries since 2022 NYC Open Data.

Police reports in this area name driver actions we can fix: failure to yield and running signals show up alongside distraction. Each is a choice with a body count NYC Open Data.

Bedford Avenue: a promise still waiting

Bedford Avenue has been a known danger. A protected bike lane was promised. The city delayed. “The Bedford Avenue bike lane has been unacceptably dangerous since it was first laid,” a supporter of the project said when Council Member Chi Ossé pressed DOT to stop stalling Streetsblog NYC.

What fixes now

Use the tools we have at hand:

  • Daylight crosswalks at the worst corners. Harden the turns drivers cut. Give leading walk time. Start with Bedford Avenue, Broadway, and Myrtle Avenue. These are the sites with the highest combined tolls here NYC Open Data.
  • Target late-night enforcement at repeat hotspots. The 11 PM hour stands out for deaths in this community board NYC Open Data.

Who must act

The bills exist to slow the worst drivers. State Senator Jabari Brisport co-sponsors the speed‑limiter bill, S 4045, and voted yes in committee; it would require intelligent speed assistance for drivers with repeated violations Open States. Council Member Chi A. Ossé has pressed DOT to deliver a protected lane on Bedford Avenue Streetsblog NYC. Assembly Member Stefani Zinerman represents this area. The Assembly can move a matching bill.

Citywide, the legal power exists to lower speeds on more streets. Use it. Our streets don’t need another vigil. They need less speed and fewer chances.

Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to slow the cars and rein in repeat speeders. Start here: Take Action.
