Seven o’clock on Rockaway Parkway

Seven o’clock on Rockaway Parkway

Brooklyn CB17: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 16, 2025

Just after 7 PM on Oct 8, a taxi making a left at Rockaway Parkway and Rutland Road hit a 32‑year‑old man who was walking. Police logged shock and a shoulder injury. The cab’s left front bumper took the hit (NYC Open Data).

This Week

  • On Oct 8, a taxi driver turned left at Rockaway Parkway and Rutland Road and injured a man on foot (NYC Open Data).
  • On Oct 6, at East New York Avenue and East 98th Street, an SUV driver turning left hit a 56‑year‑old man who was crossing with the signal; police recorded driver inattention and failure to yield (NYC Open Data).

The toll on these blocks

Since Jan 1, 2022, in Brooklyn Community Board 17, 13 people have been killed and 4,906 injured in crashes. Eight of the dead were people walking; two were on bikes (NYC Open Data).

Church Avenue leads the injury list here: two deaths, 228 injuries. Linden Boulevard: one death, 181 injuries. Clarkson Avenue: one death, 78 injuries. These are not outliers. They are the pattern (NYC Open Data).

The 7 PM hour is one of the deadliest in this district over the period, with three recorded deaths. Early evening does not forgive a bad turn (NYC Open Data).

How people are being hit

Left turns keep breaking bodies. On Oct 6 at East New York Avenue and East 98th Street, the driver of a 2011 Chevy SUV hit a man who was crossing with the signal. Police cited driver inattention and failure to yield (NYC Open Data).

Speed kills too. On Jan 25, 2025, at Church Avenue and Kings Highway, police recorded unsafe speed when a driver going straight hit and killed a 30‑year‑old man in the crosswalk (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4788144).

These are not storms or flukes. They are choices at corners.

Fix the turns. Slow the streets.

Start where the blood is: Church Avenue. Linden Boulevard. Harden the turns. Daylight the corners. Give walkers a head start with leading pedestrian intervals. Enforce yielding at left turns.

Citywide, slow the default. The tools exist. The city can lower speeds and expand 20 MPH zones. Use them. And Albany can curb repeat speeders by requiring intelligent speed assistance for habitual offenders. In the State Senate, Kevin Parker voted yes in committee on S 4045. The Council’s Farah Louis is the primary sponsor of Int 1353‑2025 to speed up school‑adjacent safety devices.

One corner at a time is how this ends. One law at a time too. The man hit at Rockaway and Rutland should not have been a test case.

Take one step now. Tell City Hall and Albany to act: /take_action/.
