No Deaths Yet—But the Streets Are Still Running Red
Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
No one died here this year. But the silence is not peace. Since last July, 233 people have been hurt in crashes in Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate. Seven were left with serious wounds. No one walks away from a crushed leg or a broken skull the same. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared.
Just last March, a 38-year-old man was crushed by a truck on East New York Avenue. In November, a 75-year-old woman was struck by a turning sedan while crossing with the signal. In October, two men—one 38, one 77—were both left bleeding in the street after a truck turned through a crosswalk. The oldest victim was 85, hit by a pickup truck. The youngest, a child not yet grown. No one is safe.
The System Fails the Vulnerable
Most victims are on foot. Trucks and cars do the most damage. Of the pedestrian injuries, trucks caused the worst: five serious injuries, twelve hurt in all. Cars and SUVs struck 127 people. Buses, motorcycles, bikes—each left their mark, but the big machines do the killing.
The stories repeat. A driver turns. A pedestrian crosses. The light changes. Someone does not come home. The numbers pile up, but the city moves slow. “We started talking about a plan in 2014 and it’s now 2025. What is going on?” asked Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes.
Leadership: Promises and Pauses
Council Member Rita Joseph co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, to clear the sightlines and save lives. The bill sits in committee. State Senator Zellnor Myrie backs bus rapid transit and protected bike lanes, but the lanes are not here yet. The road is still dangerous.
The city has the power to lower speed limits. It has not done so. The city can build barriers, redesign streets, enforce the law. It has not done enough. “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again.” said State Senator Andrew Gounardes.
Act Now—Before the Next Siren
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand action, not words.
Every day the city waits, another family waits for news that will break them. The blood is on the street. The time is now.
