Flatbush and Beverley: a bike, a turn, a scream
District 40: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 16, 2025
On Sep 19, an 18-year-old on a bike was hit at Flatbush Avenue and Beverley Road. Police recorded driver inattention by the person turning a 2024 Toyota sedan. The cyclist suffered crush injuries and was listed as seriously hurt (NYC Open Data, CrashID 4844820).
Eight people have been killed here since 2022. Seven were walking; one was on a bike. Another 733 people walking and 472 people biking were injured in that time, in this council district’s boundaries (NYC Open Data).
Flatbush bleeds
Flatbush Avenue is the district’s main injury corridor, with 180 injuries and 10 serious injuries since 2022 (NYC Open Data). Bedford Avenue and Nostrand Avenue also stand out for death and harm (NYC Open Data).
Police cite familiar causes. Failure to yield by drivers shows up again and again. So does driver distraction (NYC Open Data).
Nights are not safe. Two recorded deaths happened around the 9 PM hour. Fatal crashes also mark the morning and late afternoon peaks (NYC Open Data).
The record is public. The results are not.
Since 2022, people walking and biking have carried the worst of it here: seven pedestrians killed, one cyclist killed (NYC Open Data). A 64-year-old man was killed on Flatbush at Caton on Dec 31, 2024. Police recorded a sedan with front-end damage (CrashID 4783016). A 58-year-old woman crossing with the signal at Bedford and Tilden was killed by a turning dump truck on Mar 7, 2024; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (CrashID 4707890). A 45-year-old woman crossing with the signal at Beverley and Nostrand was killed by a right-turning SUV on Feb 25, 2024; police recorded failure to yield by the driver (CrashID 4705519).
What leaders have done — and not done
Council Member Rita C. Joseph co-sponsored the law forcing DOT to publish monthly progress on the Streets Master Plan (Int 1105-2024). She also voted yes to remove derelict vehicles faster, clearing sightlines and crosswalks (Int 0857-2024). She voted to decriminalize jaywalking (Int 0346-2024).
Daylighting saves lives. A stronger daylighting bill is sitting in committee to ban parking within 20 feet of crosswalks and require barriers at 1,000 intersections a year. Joseph is a co-sponsor; the bill was laid over in April 2025 (Int 1138-2024).
On Empire Boulevard, the community board asked for a protected bike lane in April 2024. DOT did not propose changes. Joseph did not comment at the time (Streetsblog).
What will stop the next one
Start where the bodies are. Daylight Flatbush Avenue’s crossings. Harden turns on Bedford and Nostrand. Build the protected lane the community requested on Empire Boulevard (Streetsblog). Enforce failure-to-yield and distraction where the data says it hurts (NYC Open Data).
Citywide, the path is clear. Lower the speed limit with the power the city now has. Require speed limiters for the worst repeat offenders. If you want those changes, tell City Hall and Albany. Act now: take action.
