Flatbush Avenue, after midnight

Brooklyn CB14: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025

Just after midnight on Sep 12, 2025, a driver in a 2012 Toyota passed on Flatbush Avenue and hit a 43-year-old woman who was crossing outside an intersection. Police recorded failure to yield and improper lane use by the driver; she had severe bleeding and was semiconscious. NYC Open Data

This Week

  • On Sep 6 at Bedford Avenue and Farragut Road, a driver in a 2020 Nissan SUV turned left and hit a 23-year-old man who was not in the roadway; police listed the cause as “unspecified.” He had severe lacerations and was incoherent. NYC Open Data

Flatbush keeps taking

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Brooklyn Community Board 14, people driving have killed 9 people walking and injured 757. NYC Open Data

Flatbush Avenue is a hotspot, with 1 death and 208 injuries recorded. Bedford Avenue follows with 1 death and 133 injuries. NYC Open Data

When the hurt spikes

Deaths here cluster in the afternoon and early evening: 3 at 2 PM, 2 at 5 PM, and 3 at 6 PM. NYC Open Data

Police repeatedly record driver behaviors we can fix: failure to yield and inattention/distraction tied to dozens of injuries. NYC Open Data

The work in front of us

Council Member Farah Louis is the primary sponsor of a bill to force faster school-zone traffic-calming work (Int 1353-2025) and also co-sponsors an enforcement bill on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347-2025). NYC Council – Legistar

State Sen. Kevin Parker voted yes in committee for the Stop Super Speeders bill (S 4045) to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Open States

Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn represents this area. Will she back the same speed-limiter bill in the Assembly? Open States

We also have a city tool ready now. Sammy’s Law gives New York City the power to set safer speed limits. The call is simple: drop residential speeds to 20 MPH. /take_action/

“Speed cameras have cut speeding by over 60% in locations where installed.” NYS Senate

Fix the corners, slow the turns

On Flatbush and Bedford, the pattern points to turning and yielding failures. Proven steps: daylight crosswalks, hardened turns, leading pedestrian intervals, and raised crossings at problem legs. Target evening hours when deaths spike. NYC Open Data

This is the same street where a woman lay bleeding after midnight. It does not have to stay this way. Tell City Hall to lower speeds and Albany to rein in repeat offenders. /take_action/
