- Crashes: number of police‑reported collisions (all road users).
- All injuries: total injured people in those crashes.
- Moderate / Serious: subcategories reported by officers (e.g., broken bones vs. life‑threatening trauma).
- Deaths: people who died due to a crash.
Notes: Police reports can be corrected after initial publication. Minor incidents without a police report are not included.

Notes: Police classification can change during investigations. Small categories may have year-to-year variance.
CloseAbout these numbers
These totals count vehicles with at least the shown number of camera‑issued speeding violations (school‑zone speed cameras) in any rolling 12‑month window in this district. Totals are summed from 2022 to the present for this geography.
- ≥ 6 (6+): advocates’ standard for repeat speeding offenders who should face escalating consequences.
- ≥ 16 (16+): threshold in the current edited bill awaiting State Senate action.
About this list
This ranks vehicles by the number of NYC school‑zone speed‑camera violations they received in the last 12 months anywhere in the city. The smaller note shows how many times the same plate was caught in this area in the last 90 days.
Camera violations are issued by NYC DOT’s program. Counts reflect issued tickets and may omit dismissed or pending cases. Plate text is shown verbatim as recorded.
CloseWest Drive, three falls, one city that knows how to stop this
Brooklyn CB55: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 17, 2025
On Sep 26, 2025, in the evening on West Drive, two people on bikes collided. Police recorded unsafe speed; one rider was hurt (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 21: At Prospect Park West and 14th Street, a person on a bike was injured; police recorded failure to yield by a rider merging (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 16: At West Drive and Wellhouse Drive, a person walking in a marked crosswalk was hit by a person on a bike; police cited inattention and failure to yield (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 19: On West Drive near South Lake Drive, another bike crash put a rider in the hospital with a concussion (NYC Open Data).
The pattern doesn’t blink
Since Jan 1, 2022, this community board logged 340 crashes, 257 injuries, and 1 death (CrashCount rollup of NYC Open Data).
In the past 12 months alone, 114 crashes left 95 hurt, with one person killed; this year to date, 87 crashes injured 82 and killed one (CrashCount period stats from NYC Open Data).
Police records point to familiar causes. Failure to yield. Inattention. Unsafe speed in the park itself. The hours stack up, too: injuries peak in the mid‑afternoon, around 3 PM, when streets and paths fill (NYC Open Data).
Where the street bites
Flatbush Avenue by the park’s edge is a repeat wound: at 450 Flatbush Avenue, police logged 25 injuries, including multiple serious ones. Prospect Park West shows 37 injuries across the corridor. Eastern Parkway and East Drive add more (NYC Open Data).
Local fixes are not mystery work. Daylight corners on Flatbush and Prospect Park West to clear sightlines. Harden turns at the park entrances. Give people a head start with leading pedestrian intervals. Enforce speed where speed keeps breaking bones. These are standard tools; the records tell us where to place them (NYC Open Data).
Who moves and who waits
At City Hall, Council Member Shahana K. Hanif put her name on bike parking expansion, co‑sponsoring Int 1375‑2025. She also led a bill to speed repairs to broken street furniture, Int 1386‑2025, and backed faster school‑area safety devices (Int 1353‑2025) (NYC Council record).
In Albany, State Senator Zellnor Myrie co‑sponsored the speed‑limiter bill, S 4045. He then missed two committee votes on it, recorded as excused (June 11, June 12). Assembly Member Robert Carroll co‑sponsored the matching bill, A 2299 (noted in Open States), and also sponsored [A 6225], a measure described as weakening speed‑camera enforcement in the session record (Open States).
The bills matter here. The records show unsafe speed injuring people inside the park. Failure to yield and inattention hurting people at its edges. Limiting repeat dangerous driving and lowering speeds citywide would turn the dial where bodies meet asphalt (NYC Open Data; S 4045).
What to do now
- Install daylighting, hardened turns, and LPIs at Flatbush by the zoo, Prospect Park West at 14th Street, and other logged hot spots (NYC Open Data).
- Pass the speed‑limiter bill, S 4045/A 2299, to rein in repeat offenders.
- Use the authority the city already has to lower speeds broadly. The place to start is where the injuries are.
One evening on West Drive. A body on the pavement. The next move is ours. Take one at Take Action.

Lander Publishes Bus Report Cards Calls For Accountability▸Sep 5 - Comptroller Brad Lander’s bus report cards land hard. Grades are low. The report names failing routes and service collapse. Poor bus service pushes riders toward cars and raises street danger. The transparency could force bus-priority fixes that help pedestrians and cyclists.
"Comptroller Brad Lander is out with his latest bus report cards, and the grades are as low as expected." -- Brad S. Lander
This is a report release, not legislation (no bill number, file number null). Status: released. Committee: N/A. Key date: report published September 5, 2025 and covered by Streetsblog NYC. Matter title: "Friday’s Headlines: D Bus is F’d Edition." Comptroller Brad Lander issued the bus report cards. Streetsblog reporter David Meyer filed the coverage. Brad S. Lander urged bus report card transparency. Safety note: "Publishing poor bus report cards doesn’t change conditions directly, though weak bus service undermines mode shift and can increase car traffic risk. The transparency could, however, spur bus-priority improvements that would benefit pedestrians and cyclists."

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Lander Publishes Bus Report Cards Calls For Accountability▸Sep 5 - Comptroller Brad Lander’s bus report cards land hard. Grades are low. The report names failing routes and service collapse. Poor bus service pushes riders toward cars and raises street danger. The transparency could force bus-priority fixes that help pedestrians and cyclists.
"Comptroller Brad Lander is out with his latest bus report cards, and the grades are as low as expected." -- Brad S. Lander
This is a report release, not legislation (no bill number, file number null). Status: released. Committee: N/A. Key date: report published September 5, 2025 and covered by Streetsblog NYC. Matter title: "Friday’s Headlines: D Bus is F’d Edition." Comptroller Brad Lander issued the bus report cards. Streetsblog reporter David Meyer filed the coverage. Brad S. Lander urged bus report card transparency. Safety note: "Publishing poor bus report cards doesn’t change conditions directly, though weak bus service undermines mode shift and can increase car traffic risk. The transparency could, however, spur bus-priority improvements that would benefit pedestrians and cyclists."

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Lander Issues Failing Bus Report Card Cites Neutral Safety Effects▸Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.
"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander
No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

The measure aims to make cycling more secure, cut sidewalk bike clutter, and boost safety in underserved neighborhoods.
Bill Int. 1375 (Int 1375-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: LS #14435 filed 02/26/2025; event recorded 2025-09-10; effective date: immediately. Matter title: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the bicycle parking station program."
