Crosswalks and sirens in Spring Creek–Starrett City

The toll in Spring Creek–Starrett City
Since 2022, this neighborhood has recorded 3 deaths, 901 injuries, and 1,349 crashes. That is the ledger of this place. City data.
This year is worse than last. Crashes are up 19.5%. Reported injuries are up 69.5%. Serious injuries have tripled. These comparisons reflect cases within this neighborhood only. City data.
Where it breaks
The Belt Parkway and Pennsylvania Ave lead the harm list here, each tied to deaths and dozens of injuries. City data.
Nights cut deep. Deaths have landed around midnight, before dawn, and in the evening. That is when families wait at hospitals. City data.
Police records point to drivers who failed to yield, who looked away, and who drove too fast. Those choices turn crosswalks into trauma rooms. City data.
Concrete fixes on these corners
Start with the basics: daylight every corner on Flatlands and Pennsylvania. Give walkers a head start with signal timing. Harden right turns where buses and trucks swing through. Aim enforcement and cameras at the nighttime hours when the worst hits. These steps are standard and local.
The power to slow cars — and use it
City Hall has the power to lower speed limits under Sammy’s Law. Use it on streets like Flatlands, Gateway, and Pennsylvania. The policy path is laid out here.
In Albany, the repeat speeder bill is on the table. The Senate version, S 4045, requires speed‑limiting tech for drivers with a record of violations; State Sen. Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee this year. Open States. The Assembly can match it.
At City Hall, Council Member Chris Banks co‑sponsored a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025) and a bill to strip bus and bike benchmarks from the Streets Master Plan (Int 1362‑2025). Those choices sit next to the numbers above.
What now
A man was hit in the afternoon at Gateway Drive. The line continues at Flatlands and Louisiana. It does not have to. Tell your leaders to slow the cars and stop the repeat offenders. Start here.

Banks co-sponsors bill removing bus and bike benchmarks from streets master plan.▸Aug 14 - Int 1362 repeals the definitions of “protected bicycle lane” and “protected bus lane” and strips explicit benchmarks for protected lanes from the streets master plan. It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

It preserves signal and pedestrian targets but weakens commitments to physical protection, threatening safety and equity.
Bill Int 1362-2025. Status: Sponsorship, introduced Aug 14, 2025. Referred to Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."

The measure, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to removing benchmarks for bus lanes and bicycle lanes from the streets master plan and repealing certain definitions in relation thereto," repeals the definitions of "protected bicycle lane" and "protected bus lane" and removes related benchmarks in the master plan (master plan dates referenced include Dec. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2026). Primary sponsor: Robert F. Holden. Co-sponsors: Inna Vernikov, Joann Ariola, Chris Banks, Vickie Paladino. Safety analysts warn: "Removing explicit benchmarks and definitions for protected bus and bicycle lanes weakens commitments to physically protected infrastructure... likely reducing mode shift to walking and cycling and worsening equity and safety-in-numbers; the retained measures focus on signals and pedestrian amenities but do not replace the protective effect of designated protected lanes."
