Atlantic cuts. Trucks and sirens. The body count goes on.
Crown Heights (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 29, 2025
Just after lunch on Sep 12, a man on a bike went down near Dean Street. Police records list a box truck and a sedan in the crash; he was hurt and conscious when logged (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Sep 11 at Atlantic and New York, a driver on an “other motorized” device was ejected and seriously injured; police noted distraction and unsafe lane change by the driver (NYC Open Data).
- Sep 8 at Buffalo and Prospect, a driver in a sedan hit a man on a bike; he was hurt and stayed conscious in the report (NYC Open Data).
- Aug 28 at Classon and Atlantic, a 30‑year‑old on a motorcycle hit a parked dump truck and died (NYC Open Data).
Atlantic keeps taking
Atlantic Avenue tops the harm list here, with the most injuries and multiple deaths since 2022, according to police data for this area (NYC Open Data). Classon, Bedford, Saint Johns Place, Pacific, and Rogers also appear as repeat sites in the same records.
Police repeatedly record driver inattention and failure to yield in local crashes. Distraction appears in the data alongside turns and lane changes that put people on foot and on bikes at risk (NYC Open Data).
Deaths here do not wait for daylight. Police logs show fatal crashes after midnight, in the afternoon rush, and into the night across these streets (NYC Open Data).
Names on the hook
Council Member Chi A. Ossé co‑sponsors a daylighting bill to keep cars 20 feet back from crosswalks and build thousands of visibility barriers (NYC Council Legistar). Atlantic and its side streets need it.
State Senator Zellnor Myrie co‑sponsors the state bill to force repeat speeders to use speed‑limiting tech (Open States). He missed two committee votes on that bill, marked “excused,” and also missed votes on a school speed‑zone measure in June (Open States). On a ride through Brooklyn, Myrie said, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible” (Streetsblog NYC).
Assembly Member Brian Cunningham is logged as missing a committee vote on a school speed‑zone safety bill in June. The file is on the record; the danger on Atlantic is too (Open States).
Fix what the data points to
- Build daylighting and hardened turns at Atlantic Avenue intersections and at Saint Johns Place, Pacific Street, Bedford Avenue, and Rogers Avenue. Police data show repeat harm at these corners (NYC Open Data).
- Target driver inattention and failure‑to‑yield with design first: protected bike lanes, leading walk signals, and turn‑calming on the known corridors. The crash records show these behaviors in local injuries (NYC Open Data).
- Hold repeat speeders to account. The Stop Super Speeders bill S4045 would mandate speed limiters for the worst offenders (Open States).
Citywide tools, local lives
Lower speeds save lives. The city can set slower limits and press Albany for the speed‑limiter mandate. The daylighting bill is already written. Myrie said streets should be safe for “as many people as possible.” The records from Atlantic show what that means when we fail to act (Streetsblog NYC; NYC Council Legistar).
Act. Tell your reps to pass the speed‑limiter bill and build daylighting on Atlantic now. Start here.
