Atlantic and Elton, two lives gone. The rest of us wait at the light.
Brooklyn CB5: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 6, 2025
Just after 8 PM on Sep 1, at Atlantic Avenue and Elton Street, a driver in an SUV turned left and hit a Harley‑Davidson going west. The rider and passenger were ejected and died at the scene, records show (NYC Open Data).
They were two of the 15 people killed on Brooklyn Community Board 5 streets since 2022, alongside 5,227 injured in 8,722 crashes (NYC Open Data). The numbers don’t blink.
This Week
- Just before midnight on Aug 29, at Pitkin and Pennsylvania, a driver making a left hit a 20‑year‑old on a bike; the bicyclist was injured (NYC Open Data).
- Late afternoon Aug 29, at Linden and Euclid, a 13‑year‑old bicyclist suffered a leg fracture after a crash with a sedan (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 27, at Linden and Snediker, a 34‑year‑old bicyclist was hurt in a collision with a sedan (NYC Open Data).
More Pain, Same Streets
- This year through Sep 6: 1,748 crashes, 7 deaths, 1,165 injuries. Last year by this time: 1,554 crashes, 1 death, 942 injuries. That’s a 12.5% rise in crashes and a jump from 1 to 7 deaths (NYC Open Data).
- Evenings carry the heaviest toll: between 6 PM and 9 PM, the record shows 8 deaths in this district since 2022 (NYC Open Data).
Corners That Don’t Forgive
- Sutter Avenue near the 1000 block has logged 8 serious injuries. Pennsylvania Avenue shows 2 deaths and 281 injuries. Linden Boulevard shows 296 injuries (NYC Open Data).
- Police records in this area cite drivers’ failure to yield, inattention, and aggressive driving among the contributing factors in injury crashes during this period (NYC Open Data).
- “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers,” Council Member Sandy Nurse said of a citywide push to clear sightlines at corners (City & State NY).
Who Holds The Wheel
- Council Member Chris Banks co‑sponsored a bill to crack down on unlicensed commuter vans (Legistar). He also voted to remove abandoned vehicles, a street‑safety cleanup measure (Legistar).
- State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee on the Stop Super Speeders bill (S 4045), aimed at curbing repeat dangerous driving (NY Senate).
- Assembly Member Nikki Lucas voted yes to extend protections in school speed zones (S 8344) (NY Senate).
What Fixes Save Lives Here
- Daylight corners. Install daylighting and hardened turns at Pennsylvania Avenue and Linden Boulevard, and along Sutter’s worst blocks. The goal is simple: let people see and stop sooner (City & State NY).
- Slow the lefts. Add leading pedestrian intervals and protected left‑turn phases where left‑turn crashes recur, including Pitkin at Pennsylvania and Atlantic at Elton (NYC Open Data).
- Target the worst hours. Focus enforcement and calming during evening peaks, when deaths cluster between 6 PM and 9 PM (NYC Open Data).
The Next Move
Citywide tools exist. Lower speeds save people, and state lawmakers have a bill on the table for repeat speeders. Our district’s senator has voted it forward; the Assembly can push it too. The Council and DOT can clear sightlines at corners. The levers are there. Use them. Then go one step further.
One call can help move a law, a signal, a bolt in the asphalt. Start here: Take action.
