Albany and Snyder, late morning
Brooklyn CB17: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 18, 2025
A man on a bike was hit at Snyder Avenue and Albany Avenue about 10:40 AM on Aug 16, 2025. Police recorded a driver making a left turn into him; the cyclist suffered severe bleeding and shock (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Aug 16: At Snyder and Albany, a driver turning left hit a person on a bike, causing serious injury (NYC Open Data).

The count on these streets
Since Jan 1, 2022, in Brooklyn Community Board 17, 13 people have been killed and 4,778 injured across 7,164 crashes (NYC Open Data). This year to date, 5 people have been killed and 866 injured, compared with 2 killed and 973 injured at this point last year (NYC Open Data).
Deaths pile up in the afternoon and evening. Three deaths hit around 1 PM, and three more hit around 7 PM in this window, as injuries stay high into the night (NYC Open Data).
Corners that keep breaking people
Church Avenue is the bullseye: at least 2 killed and 228 injured along that corridor since 2022. Linden Boulevard adds another death and 181 injured. Clarkson Avenue shows a death and 78 injured. These are not outliers. They are a map (NYC Open Data).
Police records tie much harm to driver choices at the crosswalk. On Jan 25, 2025, at Church Avenue and Kings Highway, an officer recorded “unsafe speed” by the driver after a man on foot was killed (NYC Open Data – CrashID 4788144). On May 14, 2025, at E 95 St and Rutland Rd, a driver turning left killed a woman crossing with the signal; police recorded driver inattention (NYC Open Data – CrashID 4812813). On Feb 25, 2024, at Beverley Rd and Nostrand Ave, a right‑turning SUV driver killed a woman who had the signal; police recorded failure to yield (NYC Open Data – CrashID 4705519).
Who holds the line?
This is Council District 45. Council Member Farah Louis has backed tools near schools. She is the primary sponsor on a bill to force the city to install traffic‑calming or control devices by 60 days after DOT signs off near schools (Int 1353‑2025). She also co‑sponsored a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans with maximum penalties at each stop (Int 1347‑2025).
In Albany, State Senator Kevin Parker voted yes in committee for the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045), which would require speed‑limiting tech for repeat violators (Open States – S4045). The Assembly side is not recorded here. Assembly Member Monique Chandler‑Waterman’s stance on this bill is not listed in our timeline.
Slow the cars that won’t slow themselves
The pattern is not random. It points where to act.
- Harden the turns and daylight the crosswalks on Church Avenue and Linden Boulevard. Protect the walk signal with leading intervals and cement at the corners. Put it on a clock. No more promises without dates.
- Add physical calming at recurring crash corners: concrete, not paint. Deploy near schools under the 60‑day bill when it passes, and extend the same standard to the rest of the map (Int 1353‑2025).
- Stop the worst repeat speeders with mandatory limiters under S4045. One car, many tickets, one fix (Open States – S4045).
This work does not bring anyone back. But it can stop the next siren on Church Avenue. Take one step today: push your officials to act here.
