Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brooklyn CB14?
No More Excuses: Barriers Now, Lives Saved Tomorrow
Brooklyn CB14: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
Blood on the Corners
A 73-year-old woman crossing Avenue L. Struck by a Jeep making a right turn. She died at the intersection. A 47-year-old man riding his bike on Avenue O, hit by an SUV. Dead in the street. A mother and her two daughters, killed crossing Ocean Parkway. Another family, broken, left with pain and fear. The driver had 93 violations and a suspended license. She was still behind the wheel. ABC7 reported the survivors’ wounds: back pain, depression, a child with a cast. The numbers do not heal. In the last twelve months, one person killed, nine seriously injured, 658 hurt in 879 crashes in Brooklyn CB14. Children are not spared. Four kids suffered serious injuries. The old and the young, all at risk.
The City Responds—Slowly
The city knows the danger. Nearly half of all traffic deaths happen at intersections. The Department of Transportation is adding hard barriers—granite, concrete, planters—to corners where cars once hid the view. “Using barriers to clear space at the intersection will help ensure pedestrians, cyclists and turning vehicles can see each other and enhance safety,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. The city is rolling out these changes at high-crash sites like Ocean Avenue. But the pace is slow. Advocates want more, faster. “We’d love to see some simpler hardening at a quicker pace,” said Jackson Chabot.
Leadership: Words, Not Enough
After a school bus crashed into a fence at Bedford Avenue and Farragut Road, injuring a mother and her son, Councilmember Farrah Louis said, “We’re glad this isn’t a fatality. We do know we need more traffic safety in this area.” reported CBS New York. But words do not stop cars. The city has the power to lower speed limits. It has the tools to harden every corner. It has not used them all.
Call to Action: Demand Relentless Change
Every crash is preventable. Every death is a failure. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand hard barriers at every dangerous corner. Act now. Do not wait for another name to become a number.
