Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bedford-Stuyvesant (East)?

Preventable Speeding in Bedford-Stuyvesant (East) School Zones

(since 2022)
Broadway takes five lives. The fixes still wait.

Broadway takes five lives. The fixes still wait.

Bedford-Stuyvesant (East): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025

Broadway takes five lives. The fixes still wait.

Dead on the corner, again

  • Since 2023, five pedestrians were killed in Bedford‑Stuyvesant (East). Another died as an occupant. More than 1,400 were hurt. SUVs and cars did most of it. Data here.
  • Broadway is the worst corridor. It tops the chart for injuries and deaths here. So does Marcus Garvey Boulevard. See the city’s counts for BROADWAY and MARCUS GARVEY BLVD.
  • Night is cruel. Injuries pile up after dark, and deaths spike at 3–4 a.m. and 11 p.m. Open Data shows the hourly pattern.

Names we don’t know, damage we do

What the numbers say

  • Pedestrians bear the brunt: five dead, 303 hurt here since 2022. Cyclists: 161 hurt. City dataset.
  • SUVs show up again and again in pedestrian harm in this area. Rollup details.
  • Top listed factors: inattention, failure to yield, disregard for signals. Speed shows in the death files too. Local factors.

Promises and the pause button

  • On Bedford Avenue, the protected lane drag went public in 2023. Council Member Chi Ossé called the delay “unacceptable,” pressing DOT for a date. Coverage here. The lane still matters. Cyclists are getting hit.
  • Albany moved on speeders this year. State Sen. Jabari Brisport backed a bill to force repeat violators to use speed‑limiting tech. He co‑sponsored and voted yes in committee. Bill file S 4045.

What would stop the next one

  • Daylight the crossings on Broadway and Marcus Garvey. Pull parking from corners. Harden the turns. Give walkers head starts. Target late‑night speed on the corridor. The data points to repeat hotspots. Top intersections.
  • Citywide, drop the default speed. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can set lower limits now. Use it. Our call to action explains how to press City Hall and DOT. Take action.
  • Stop the worst repeat drivers. The Senate bill to require intelligent speed assistance for habitual violators is moving. Constituents can push it over the line. S 4045 details.

Voices on the record

  • “A driver struck and killed a 47‑year‑old pedestrian … then left the scene,” police told the Daily News.
  • “Police were looking … for the driver … dragged more than 50 feet,” Gothamist reported.
  • “The Bedford Avenue bike lane has been unacceptably dangerous … The delay is unacceptable,” Ossé pressed DOT.

The ask

  • Lower speeds. Fix the corners. Rein in repeat speeders. Start now. One call today matters. Here’s how.
