Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brooklyn CB8?
A Boy Is Dead. The Street Still Bleeds.
Brooklyn CB8: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2025
The Toll This Year
Another child is dead. On June 28, an eight-year-old boy was crossing Eastern Parkway with his sister. A black Honda Pilot hit him. Neighbors saw the boy dragged from under the SUV. “I just saw a lot of blood gushing out of his ears, his mouth,” a witness said. The driver stayed. No arrest. The street was cleaned. The boy did not go home.
In the past twelve months, one person died and five suffered serious injuries on these streets. 387 people were hurt. Children, elders, cyclists, walkers. The numbers do not stop. Since 2022, ten have died, including a child. More than 1,600 have been injured. The wounds are not just numbers. They are broken bodies, empty beds, families left with silence.
The Machines That Kill
Cars and trucks do most of the harm. SUVs and sedans alone caused over 250 pedestrian injuries and one death. Trucks and buses killed another. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left more people hurt. The street is a gauntlet. The risk is not shared. The strong survive. The vulnerable bleed.
What Leaders Have Done—And Not Done
Local leaders have spoken. Council Members Crystal Hudson and Chi Ossé have co-sponsored bills to ban parking near crosswalks, speed up protected bike lanes, and push for citywide safety upgrades. But the bills sit in committee. The danger waits for no one.
State Senator Zellnor Myrie rode a bike through Brooklyn. He said, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible” he told Streetsblog. The streets did not change.
The Street Remembers
A teacher said of the boy, “I loved that boy. He was a great kid” the New York Post reported. The city moved on. The blood on the street dried. The risk remains.
Call to Action
This is not fate. These deaths are not the weather. Demand more. Call your council member. Call your senator. Tell them to pass the bills, build the lanes, clear the corners, and slow the cars. Do not wait for another child to die.

Zellnor Myrie Urges Council to Resist Housing Cuts▸Council weighs Adams’s City of Yes plan. Mayoral challengers back the original, urge no watering down. They want housing, not parking. Council may weaken it. The fight is over homes versus cars. Vulnerable road users watch as parking mandates hang in the balance.
On November 21, 2024, the City Council debated Mayor Adams’s City of Yes zoning proposal, which aims to boost housing and scrap mandatory parking citywide. The Council may weaken the plan by creating a three-tiered system, risking fewer new homes. Mayoral challengers Zellnor Myrie, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer, Jessica Ramos, and Zohran Mamdani—all Democrats—strongly support the original plan. Myrie urges, 'resist efforts to revise the proposal in any way that would yield fewer homes.' Lander calls for ending exclusionary zoning and prioritizing housing over parking. Stringer calls the plan a 'small step.' Mamdani opposes changes that reduce housing or water down parking elimination. Ramos would vote yes but wants to protect neighborhood character. The Council’s decision will shape the city’s streets, homes, and the future for those outside cars.

On November 21, 2024, the City Council debated Mayor Adams’s City of Yes zoning proposal, which aims to boost housing and scrap mandatory parking citywide. The Council may weaken the plan by creating a three-tiered system, risking fewer new homes. Mayoral challengers Zellnor Myrie, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer, Jessica Ramos, and Zohran Mamdani—all Democrats—strongly support the original plan. Myrie urges, 'resist efforts to revise the proposal in any way that would yield fewer homes.' Lander calls for ending exclusionary zoning and prioritizing housing over parking. Stringer calls the plan a 'small step.' Mamdani opposes changes that reduce housing or water down parking elimination. Ramos would vote yes but wants to protect neighborhood character. The Council’s decision will shape the city’s streets, homes, and the future for those outside cars.
