The toll on these streets
Since 2022 in Brooklyn CB4, crashes injured 2,523 people and killed 9. Pedestrians account for 465 injuries and 2 deaths; people on bikes, 344 injuries and 1 death. NYC Open Data
Evenings are worst. Injuries peak around 5–7 PM. NYC Open Data
Certain corners keep showing up. Bushwick Avenue has seen 382 injuries and 1 death. Central Avenue has 103 injuries and 2 deaths. NYC Open Data
Drivers, turns, and the body in the crosswalk
Police records name driver actions again and again: failure to yield; distraction; unsafe lane change. Those are the words on the reports above. NYC Open Data
The warnings are not new. “Why can’t our officials prevent this kind of predictable incident?” asked a citywide outlet after another person was maimed on a sidewalk. Streetsblog
The power and the choices
Council Member Sandy Nurse backs a law to clear sightlines at every corner: “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers.” City & State NY
In Albany, State Sen. Julia Salazar co‑sponsored and voted yes on bill S 4045 to require speed‑limiting tech for repeat dangerous drivers. Open States Assembly Member Maritza Davila co‑sponsors the matching bill A 2299. Open States
Citywide, our neighbors have started to push 20 MPH zones under Sammy’s Law. The case for a default 20 is clear and current. Take Action
What would help here
- Daylighting at Bushwick Avenue and other repeat corners to restore sightlines and shorten crossings. City & State NY
- Targeted failure‑to‑yield enforcement and turn‑calming at left‑turn hotspots like Wyckoff at Putnam. NYC Open Data
- Speed‑limiting for the small number of repeat offenders who keep showing up on camera. Support S 4045/A 2299. Open States
The ask
Mid‑afternoon on Bushwick Avenue should not end in blood and paperwork. Lower speeds. Clear corners. Curb the worst drivers. Tell City Hall and Albany to use the tools they already have. Act now.

String Slices Cyclists On Parkway Bridge▸Jun 7 - A string stretched across the Marine Parkway Bridge cut two cyclists. One suffered a slashed throat and blood loss, the other needed stitches. The string’s source remains unclear. Kite fighting blamed, but city action lags. Riders bleed. System fails.
Gothamist (2025-06-07) reports two cyclists were injured by a string suspended across the Marine Parkway Bridge. One cyclist, Robert Hillebrand, suffered a severed windpipe and required blood transfusions. Another, Jennifer Noble, received stitches and a broken finger. Police said the string was likely from kite fighting, a practice where glass-coated strings are used to cut opponents' kites. Witnesses described a yellow nylon string stretched across the bike lane. The NYPD found no criminality. The city parks department bans kite fighting but enforcement is lacking. Danny Mundy, a local civic leader, said, “It’s absolutely dangerous and unacceptable.” Previous injuries and lawsuits linked to kite string in the area highlight ongoing risks for cyclists and wildlife. No driver involvement was reported, but the incident exposes gaps in infrastructure and enforcement.
