Flatlands and Louisiana: a bike, a bus, and a corner that does not forgive
Brooklyn CB18: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 24, 2025
On Sep 19 at Flatlands Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, a driver in a bus turned right and hit a man on a bike. A 13‑year‑old bus passenger was also hurt. Source.
This Week
- On Sep 19, a driver in an SUV making a left hit a 50‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal at Linden Boulevard. Police recorded a serious injury. Source.
- On Sep 17, a driver in an SUV going west on Flatlands Avenue hit a 40‑year‑old man crossing at East 105 Street; police listed him as unconscious at the scene. Source.
- On Sep 16, a 28‑year‑old man on a bike was injured in a multi‑vehicle crash; police cited another driver for following too closely. Source.
Nights fall hard here
Since 2022, people walking and biking have borne the brunt in Brooklyn CB18: 12 people walking and 2 people on bikes have been killed; hundreds more were injured. This is from city crash records in this district. Source.
The danger spikes after work. The 6 PM hour has seen four deaths. The 9 PM hour has seen three. These are the worst hours on the clock. Source.
Corners that take people
Flatbush Avenue and Avenue J lead the injury list for this board, with repeated serious crashes. The Belt Parkway corridor has taken three lives. Utica Avenue and Avenue L are not far behind. This is not one bad corner. It is many. Source.
Police lists show named driver errors again and again: inattention and distraction; disregarding lights and signs; failure to yield. None of that is abstract. It is a turn taken too fast. A phone in a hand. A missed walk signal and a body on the asphalt. Source.
The fixes are known; the question is will
This board needs simple, proven changes at its worst corners: daylighting at crosswalks, hardened right turns, and leading pedestrian intervals on Flatbush, Avenue J, and Avenue L. Evening enforcement should target the 6–9 PM window when deaths peak. Source.
Citywide tools exist. The state’s repeat‑speeder bill, S4045, would force drivers with 11 or more DMV points in 24 months, or six speed/red‑light camera tickets in a year, to install speed limiters. State Sen. Kevin Parker voted yes in committee, according to the public record. Source.
At City Hall, Council Member Mercedes Narcisse pushed to decriminalize jaywalking to end biased stops; the Council passed a modified repeal in 2024. Source. She also co‑sponsors a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025). Source.
Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has authority to set safer limits and to act on repeat speeders. The next move is political. If you want fewer names to write, tell them to use the tools they have. Act here.
