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/.

Louis co-sponsors unlicensed commuter van crackdown, worsening overall street safety.▸Aug 14 - Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to cite unlicensed commuter vans and levy maximum fines. It will likely shrink shared rides in transit deserts. Trips will shift to private cars and ride-hail. Pedestrians and cyclists face more exposure on the street.
Int 1347-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure after introduction on August 14, 2025. The matter is titled, "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams introduced the bill. Co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, Chris Banks, and Farah N. Louis joined her. The bill orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a compliance checklist and requires officers to issue maximum penalties for every listed violation. Analysts warn punitive enforcement and steep fines will likely reduce shared transit options in transit deserts, push trips to private cars and ride-hail, and increase traffic exposure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing policing over safer operations or street redesign without clear system-wide safety gains.

It will likely shrink shared rides in transit deserts. Trips will shift to private cars and ride-hail. Pedestrians and cyclists face more exposure on the street.
Int 1347-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure after introduction on August 14, 2025. The matter is titled, "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams introduced the bill. Co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, Chris Banks, and Farah N. Louis joined her. The bill orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a compliance checklist and requires officers to issue maximum penalties for every listed violation.

Louis serves as primary sponsor of school-adjacent traffic device deadline bill, no safety impact.▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets adjacent to schools within 60 days of a traffic study. Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.

Aug 14 - Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to cite unlicensed commuter vans and levy maximum fines. It will likely shrink shared rides in transit deserts. Trips will shift to private cars and ride-hail. Pedestrians and cyclists face more exposure on the street.
Int 1347-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and sits with the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure after introduction on August 14, 2025. The matter is titled, "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to enforcing violations against unlicensed commuter vans." Primary sponsor Nantasha M. Williams introduced the bill. Co-sponsors Selvena N. Brooks-Powers, Mercedes Narcisse, Chris Banks, and Farah N. Louis joined her. The bill orders TLC, with NYPD and DOT, to maintain a compliance checklist and requires officers to issue maximum penalties for every listed violation. Analysts warn punitive enforcement and steep fines will likely reduce shared transit options in transit deserts, push trips to private cars and ride-hail, and increase traffic exposure for pedestrians and cyclists, prioritizing policing over safer operations or street redesign without clear system-wide safety gains.

Aug 14 - Int 1353 forces DOT to install traffic calming by schools within 60 days of a study. Faster hardware cuts speeds and protects walkers and cyclists.
Int 1353-2025 was introduced Aug. 14, 2025 and is in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It would amend the administrative code to require DOT to install traffic-calming or control devices on streets adjacent to schools within 60 days of a study. The bill states: "the department shall complete the installation of such traffic calming device or traffic control device by no later than 60 days after the department issues such traffic study determination." Sponsors: Farah N. Louis (primary), with co-sponsors Jennifer Gutiérrez and Lincoln Restler. It takes effect immediately if enacted. Requiring installation within 60 days accelerates proven infrastructure that lowers speeds and crash risk, encouraging walking and biking and improving safety and equity for many vulnerable users.

Int. No. 1353-2025 (status: Sponsorship; referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure) was filed Aug. 14, 2025 and sent to committee the same day. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." It was introduced by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez and cosponsored by Tiffany Cabán, Lincoln Restler and Farah N. Louis. The bill would require that "the department shall complete the installation... by no later than 60 days after the department issues such traffic study determination." The law takes effect immediately. The measure requires timely installation of proven devices within 60 days, reducing deployment delays and protecting pedestrians and cyclists—especially children—while reasonably exempting major projects.
