Bed-Stuy Bleeds: City Rips Out Safety, Death Toll Rises
Bedford-Stuyvesant (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 24, 2025
The Deaths Keep Coming
In Bedford-Stuyvesant (West), the street is a wound that never closes. Seven people have died here since 2022. Nearly 1,400 have been hurt. Twenty suffered injuries so grave they will never walk the same. Most were on foot. Some were riding bikes. Some were just crossing the street.
Just last October, a 49-year-old man was killed at Bedford and Lafayette. He died at the intersection, struck by a driver who kept going straight. No name in the record. Only a body, a street, a time. Weeks later, a 37-year-old man was crushed and killed while working in the road on Myrtle Avenue. The machine that killed him was a truck. The record says “crush injuries.”
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and trucks do the most damage. Since 2022, cars and SUVs have killed three people and hurt 220 more. Trucks and buses killed two, injured 23. Bikes and mopeds hurt a handful, but none killed. The numbers do not lie. The bigger the machine, the deeper the wound.
Promises, Delays, and Silence
The city promised protection. Then it took it away. Just days ago, crews began tearing out the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, leaving cyclists exposed again. The city will replace it with paint. No steel, no barrier. The city has begun removing a stretch of Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane, with plans to replace it with an unprotected one. The work started at night. The danger will last all day.
Council Member Chi Ossé once called the delays “unacceptable” and demanded a real timeline for safety. The Bedford Avenue bike lane has been unacceptably dangerous since it was first laid, and for years, the people of my district have been promised that it would be protected. The promise is broken. The street is still dangerous.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every death is a choice made by someone in power. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand real protection for people on foot and on bikes. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. The street remembers. So should we.
