Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brooklyn CB7?
Two Dead, Still No Fix: City Lets Third Avenue Kill
Brooklyn CB7: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025
Death in the Crosswalk
Just weeks ago, two men stepped into the crosswalk at Third Avenue and 52nd Street. A BMW ran the red. Both men died where they fell. The driver fled. The city had promised a safer street. The promise was broken. Since 2018, drivers have killed or seriously injured 80 people on this two-mile stretch. The dead are not numbers. They are fathers, brothers, neighbors.
The Slow Grind of Policy
The city started talking about a fix in 2014. It is now 2025. The plan sits stalled. Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes asked, “What is going on? There’s been no conversation, no updates.” State Senator Andrew Gounardes stood at the crash site and said, “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again.”
Councilmember Alexa Avilés called for real investment, not more studies. The city’s answer was a sign: “Be careful.” Gounardes called it an insult. “This is not meant to be a highway. This is where people walk. This is where people live. This is where kids go to school.”
The Numbers Behind the Names
In the last twelve months, four people died and 790 were injured in crashes in Brooklyn CB7. Six suffered serious injuries. Most were walking or biking. Cars and SUVs did the worst harm—five deaths, 227 injuries. Trucks and buses killed one, injured 25. Motorcycles and mopeds killed one, injured 13. Bikes injured 35.
What Comes Next
The city knows how to stop this. The plan is written. The data is clear. The delay is deadly. Every day without change is another family at risk.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the city finish the job on Third Avenue. Do not wait for another body in the crosswalk.

Sedan Strikes Pedestrian Crossing With Signal▸A 19-year-old woman was injured crossing legally at a Brooklyn intersection. The sedan, traveling north on 60th Street, failed to yield right-of-way, striking her with its front center. She suffered knee and lower leg injuries, left in shock and bleeding.
According to the police report, a sedan traveling north on 60th Street in Brooklyn struck a 19-year-old female pedestrian who was crossing with the signal at an intersection near 5th Avenue. The pedestrian sustained injuries to her knee, lower leg, and foot, resulting in minor bleeding and shock. The report explicitly cites "Failure to Yield Right-of-Way" by the vehicle as a contributing factor. The sedan was going straight ahead and impacted the pedestrian with its center front end. There was no reported damage to the vehicle. The pedestrian’s crossing with the signal was noted, but the primary cause was the driver’s failure to yield. No other driver errors or victim behaviors were listed as contributing factors.
Gounardes Urges Immediate Safety Boosting Congestion Pricing Implementation▸Governor Hochul cuts the congestion toll to $9. The move aims to beat a Trump block. Experts warn the lower fee will not cut traffic like the original $15 plan. Urgency grows as the MTA stalls projects. Vulnerable road users wait for relief.
""It’s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it,"" -- Andrew Gounardes
On November 8, 2024, State Senator Andrew Gounardes responded to Governor Hochul’s revised congestion pricing plan. The new proposal drops the peak toll from $15 to $9. The plan’s status is pending, with urgency to implement before a new presidential administration. Gounardes stressed, “It’s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it.” The bill aims to fund the MTA’s 2020-2024 capital plan, but economist Charles Komanoff warns, “You don’t get the immediate traffic speed gain that a $15 toll would give.” The measure is meant to reduce traffic and improve transit, but the lower toll means less impact. The MTA has already paused $16 billion in work. The focus is on starting the program, but advocates note the diluted toll will not deliver the same safety and quality-of-life gains for pedestrians and cyclists.

Gounardes Urges Immediate Safety Boosting Congestion Pricing Implementation▸Governor Hochul slashes NYC’s congestion toll to $9. The move aims to beat a federal block but guts traffic reduction. Streets will see less relief. The plan leaves vulnerable road users exposed. The city trades speed and safety for political timing.
""It s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it," said state Senator Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn). "The time to commit to better public transit, less traffic and cleaner air is now."" -- Andrew Gounardes
On November 8, 2024, Governor Hochul proposed lowering New York City’s congestion pricing toll from $15 to $9. The plan, a policy proposal to adjust congestion pricing, comes as officials rush to implement it before a new presidential administration can intervene. The original $15 toll, crafted by the Traffic Mobility Review Board and approved by the MTA Board, promised strong traffic reduction and included credits and caps. The $9 version, previously reviewed in environmental assessments, may lack those protections. Economist Charles Komanoff warns, 'You lose other benefits. Most noticeably, you don’t get the immediate traffic speed gain that a $15 toll would give.' State Senator Andrew Gounardes urges swift action, saying, 'The time to commit to better public transit, less traffic and cleaner air is now.' The lower toll is projected to improve traffic speeds by only 6.4 percent, far less than the 17 percent expected from the original plan. With less traffic reduction, streets remain dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.

Governor Hochul cuts the congestion toll to $9. The move aims to beat a Trump block. Experts warn the lower fee will not cut traffic like the original $15 plan. Urgency grows as the MTA stalls projects. Vulnerable road users wait for relief.
""It’s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it,"" -- Andrew Gounardes
On November 8, 2024, State Senator Andrew Gounardes responded to Governor Hochul’s revised congestion pricing plan. The new proposal drops the peak toll from $15 to $9. The plan’s status is pending, with urgency to implement before a new presidential administration. Gounardes stressed, “It’s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it.” The bill aims to fund the MTA’s 2020-2024 capital plan, but economist Charles Komanoff warns, “You don’t get the immediate traffic speed gain that a $15 toll would give.” The measure is meant to reduce traffic and improve transit, but the lower toll means less impact. The MTA has already paused $16 billion in work. The focus is on starting the program, but advocates note the diluted toll will not deliver the same safety and quality-of-life gains for pedestrians and cyclists.

Gounardes Urges Immediate Safety Boosting Congestion Pricing Implementation▸Governor Hochul slashes NYC’s congestion toll to $9. The move aims to beat a federal block but guts traffic reduction.

""It s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it," said state Senator Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn). "The time to commit to better public transit, less traffic and cleaner air is now."" -- Andrew Gounardes
On November 8, 2024, Governor Hochul proposed lowering New York City’s congestion pricing toll from $15 to $9. The plan, a policy proposal to adjust congestion pricing, comes as officials rush to implement it before a new presidential administration can intervene. The original $15 toll, crafted by the Traffic Mobility Review Board and approved by the MTA Board, promised strong traffic reduction and included credits and caps. The $9 version, previously reviewed in environmental assessments, may lack those protections. Economist Charles Komanoff warns, 'You lose other benefits. Most noticeably, you don’t get the immediate traffic speed gain that a $15 toll would give.' State Senator Andrew Gounardes urges swift action, saying, 'The time to commit to better public transit, less traffic and cleaner air is now.' The lower toll is projected to improve traffic speeds by only 6.4 percent, far less than the 17 percent expected from the original plan. With less traffic reduction, streets remain dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.
