Forty-Ninth and 18th, Early Evening

Brooklyn CB12: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 5, 2025

An 84-year-old man went down on 49th Street at 18th Avenue in the early evening. Police records say the driver of a 2018 Ford SUV was unlicensed; the man died at the scene. A local report put it at about 6:30 PM. source source

He was one of 26 people killed on these streets since 2022. Most of them were people walking or biking. source

This Month

  • Oct 29, 2025: A man walking was killed at 18th Avenue and 49th Street; police list driver inattention and no license. source

Where the danger stacks up

Deaths pile up in the afternoon and night. At 3 PM alone, police logged five deaths here. At 9 PM, four. The curve does not let up between. source

Certain corridors tell the story. Fort Hamilton Parkway is tied to four deaths. Caton Avenue to three. Ocean Parkway, two. These are not secrets. They are columns in a spreadsheet. source

SUV and car drivers account for most pedestrian harm in this community: 11 pedestrian deaths and hundreds of injuries since 2022. Police also recorded “disregarded traffic control” in crashes that killed three people. source

The cost of standing still

In the past year, crashes fell, but deaths rose. Year to date, this community has 6 deaths versus 4 at this point last year—a 50% increase. The bodies are the measure. source

Speed is the lever the city already holds. New law lets NYC lower speeds. Our own site lays out how to use it now. source

Repeat dangerous driving is another cut. A state bill would require speed limiters for drivers with repeated violations. The Senate bill moved in June; our State Senator Sam Sutton missed that committee vote. source

Who answers for this block?

Your Assembly Member is Simcha Eichenstein (AD 48). He opposed renewing NYC’s school-zone speed camera program this year. What gives? source

Eichenstein does sponsor bills to regulate low‑velocity electric vehicles. That may help at the margins. It does not slow two tons of steel. source

Your State Senator is Sam Sutton (SD 22). He missed a key vote on the speed‑limiter bill in committee and also missed a committee vote tied to safer school speed zones. The clock keeps running. source source

Your Council Member is Simcha Felder (District 44). The council controls where and how to harden turns, add daylighting, and report on local safety. The deaths name the places: Fort Hamilton Parkway. Caton Avenue. Ocean Parkway. source

What fixes here, fixes now

  • Daylight and harden turns on the deadly corridors above; protect the crossings where people actually walk. source
  • Target 3–10 PM with enforcement and calming where deaths cluster. source
  • Install red‑light and speed enforcement where pedestrians are hurt most; keep the cameras on. source

Citywide, two moves cut the risk on every block in Brooklyn CB12:

  • Lower the default city speed limit to 20 MPH. The city can act. source
  • Pass the speed‑limiter bill that requires intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators. source

One man died at 49th and 18th. The fix is not mystery. It is will. Take one step now. Act here.
