The toll on these blocks

Since Jan 1, 2022, this area has seen 684 crashes, injuring 408 people and killing 3. NYC Open Data

Pedestrians keep getting hit by drivers in cars and SUVs. Police records tie some of the worst harm to drivers’ inattention and distraction, including one death, and to failure to yield in the crosswalk. NYC Open Data

Where it breaks most often

Bruckner Expressway is the top hotspot, with 1 death and 167 injuries tied to crashes. Other serious injuries cluster on Buhre Avenue and Wilkinson Ave. NYC Open Data

Harm rises at night. Police logged 34 injuries at 11 PM, 31 at 8 PM, and 30 at 9 PM. Late light, long shadows, same outcome. NYC Open Data

What would actually help here

  • Give people on foot a head start with leading pedestrian intervals and harden the turns at City Island Ave and Ditmars St. Police already cited failure to yield there. NYC Open Data
  • Daylight corners on Westchester Ave and Mulford Ave so drivers see workers and walkers before it’s too late. NYC Open Data
  • Calm speeds on Bruckner approaches with lane narrowing and refuge islands; target late‑evening enforcement where injuries spike. NYC Open Data
