Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brooklyn CB3?
Blood in the Crosswalk: Policy Kills, Leaders Duck, Victims Pay
Brooklyn CB3: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 20, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Silence
A woman steps out of her car at Van Buren and Marcus Garvey. She never makes it home. The driver who hit her does not stop. She is dragged under the wheels, left dying in the street. Her name was Tiffany Cifuni. She was 32 and pregnant. Her family is left with nothing but grief and the words of her husband: “We have been reeling from the day Tiffany was killed. We will not rest until it’s over and we get justice for Tiffany.”
In the last twelve months, three people have died and ten have suffered serious injuries on these streets. 698 people have been hurt. The numbers do not stop. They pile up, year after year. The dead do not get a second chance.
Who Pays the Price?
The old and the young. A 79-year-old woman, crossing with the light, is crushed by an SUV at Herkimer and New York. A 68-year-old woman, struck by a Jeep on Flushing Avenue, never makes it across. The city counts the bodies. The drivers keep moving.
SUVs kill more than anything else here. Six deaths and six serious injuries from cars and trucks in the last three years. Bikes and mopeds hurt, but they do not kill like steel and speed do. The street is not safe for anyone who walks.
Leadership: Action and Evasion
Local leaders talk of safety. But when the Bedford Avenue bike lane was ripped out, the city called it a response to “community concerns.” Council Member Lincoln Restler called it what it was: “a purely political decision to rip out a bike lane with no alternative.” The lawsuits came fast. “If we don’t act now, people are going to die. New York City, we’ll see you in court,” said one lawyer. The city did not wait for the bodies to cool before making the street more dangerous.
What Now?
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Demand protected bike lanes, lower speed limits, and enforcement that does not fade after the cameras leave. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
