Atlantic Avenue, 9 PM
Brooklyn CB8: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
About 9 PM on May 25, 2024, a 39‑year‑old man was struck and killed off the crosswalk on Atlantic Avenue. An SUV and a box truck were involved. He died at the scene. NYC Open Data
He was one of 11 people killed on Brooklyn Community Board 8 streets since Jan 1, 2022, alongside 1,863 injured in 3,308 crashes. NYC Open Data
The deaths continued into this summer. On Aug 28, 2025, a motorcyclist died at Atlantic and Classon after striking a parked dump truck. NYC Open Data
The same corridor, the same hurt
Atlantic Avenue is the worst stretch here, with the most crashes and the most dead. Our analysis flags it as the top hotspot in CB8. NYC Open Data
Evening brings the hardest blows. From late afternoon into night, this area records multiple fatalities, including at 5 PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM hours across the period. NYC Open Data
Heavy vehicles keep showing up in the body count and the injury log. Trucks and buses are tied to pedestrian deaths and dozens of injuries in this board. NYC Open Data
Named failures, fixable now
Some patterns are plain. Driver inattention shows up again and again in injury cases here. So do failure to yield and drivers blowing signals. Speeding injuries are present, too. These are design and accountability problems with known cures. NYC Open Data
Concrete steps on these blocks: daylight every corner so people are visible, as required by a Council bill to ban parking within 20 feet of crosswalks — a bill co‑sponsored by Council Member Chi A. Ossé (Int 1138‑2024). Harden turns and add leading pedestrian intervals. Focus truck enforcement and routing on Atlantic and the repeat hotspots. NYC Open Data
Who acts, and who waits
At the state level, the Stop Super Speeders bill would force the worst repeat offenders to use speed limiters. State Senator Zellnor Myrie is listed as a co‑sponsor, though he missed two committee votes in June 2025. He said, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible.” (S4045) (Streetsblog NYC)
Assembly Member Brian Cunningham missed a committee vote on a school speed zone safety bill in June 2025. What gives? (S 8344)
City lawmakers also hold a key. The daylighting bill above would clear sightlines at scale if passed and implemented. NYC Council – Legistar
Slow it down, stop the bleed
This board has 11 dead since 2022. Two were pedestrians. One was a bicyclist. Trucks figure in several of the worst crashes. The map doesn’t lie: Atlantic keeps taking. NYC Open Data
Two moves would change the odds on every corner: lower speeds across the city and rein in the repeat offenders who keep blowing through our blocks. Tell City Hall and Albany to act. Take action.
