No More Accidents—This Is Murder by Policy
Brooklyn CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
Just days ago, a man was killed crossing Broadway at Suydam Street. The driver did not stop. Police said, “A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene” (NY Daily News). The body was found in the street. The driver is still out there.
In the last twelve months, five people have died on the streets of Brooklyn CB3. Sixteen more suffered serious injuries. Nine hundred were hurt. The numbers do not slow. They do not care about age. Children, elders, workers—none are spared.
The Pattern Is the Policy
Most deaths come at the hands of cars and trucks. SUVs alone killed seven. Trucks and buses killed two more. The city removed a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue last week. The barrier is gone. The danger is not (NY1).
Council Member Chi Ossé called the delay of the protected lane “unacceptable” and demanded action: “The Bedford Avenue bike lane has been unacceptably dangerous since it was first laid, and for years, the people of my district have been promised that it would be protected” (Streetsblog NYC).
Leadership: Votes and Silence
Senator Jabari Brisport voted yes on a bill to force repeat speeders to install speed limiters. He also co-sponsored a bill for automated bike lane enforcement. Assembly Member Stefani Zinerman questioned the safety benefits of the Bedford Avenue protected bike lane. The city’s actions speak louder: the lane is gone.
What Now?
The blood on the street is not an accident. It is a policy.
Call your council member. Demand the return of protected bike lanes. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand action, not delay. Every day of waiting is another name lost.
