Bay Ridge Bleeds—City Shrugs. Demand Action Before Another Family Mourns.
Bay Ridge: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 23, 2025
The Toll in Bay Ridge
Three dead. Nearly four hundred injured in the last year. The numbers do not flinch. In Bay Ridge, the violence comes steady—pedestrians, cyclists, riders, and children. No one is spared. In the last twelve months, 513 crashes tore through these streets. The dead: a 35-year-old, a 65-year-old, an 18-year-old. The living: left with broken bones, lost work, empty chairs at dinner.
A moped rider, Joel Mota, died at Third Avenue and 67th Street. His brother said, “He was a hardworking man. He had a lot of love for his family. He was always passionate about the things that he did,” as reported by the NY Daily News. The driver was drunk and unlicensed. The passenger survived with fractures. The driver was arraigned and released without bail, at least for now.
Who Pays the Price
SUVs, sedans, trucks—these are the weapons. In Bay Ridge, cars and trucks caused the most pain: 3 deaths, 161 injuries. Motorcycles and mopeds: 6 injuries. Bikes: 1 serious injury, 10 more hurt. The old, the young, the ones just trying to cross the street. The numbers do not lie. The bodies pile up.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
The city talks about Vision Zero. The city boasts of new laws. But in Bay Ridge, the carnage does not stop. Speed cameras work, but only where they are allowed. The city can now lower speed limits to 20 mph, but has not done so here. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. No word from local leaders. No press conferences. No promises kept.
A brother waits for justice. “We’ll see how it goes forth. Hopefully we get to be there for the trial, if there is a trial, and be able to talk on my brother’s behalf. But other than that, just on my behalf, there’s no hate,” his brother told the NY Daily News.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras on every block. Demand streets that put people first. Do not wait for another family to lose a son. Take action now.

Brannan Backs Misguided Crosswalk Signalization Mandate▸Sep 25 - Int 1394 orders a stop sign or signal at every crosswalk by Jan 1, 2027. It shifts responsibility onto drivers and cuts ambiguity at uncontrolled crossings. Likely boosts yielding and protects pedestrians and cyclists. Analysts warn over‑signaling or poor timing could add delay and turning conflicts.
"A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks" -- Justin L. Brannan
Int. No. 1394 (File Int 1394-2025) was introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and reached the Council vote stage on 2025-09-25 after referral from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027. Safety analysts say the law "shifts responsibility onto drivers and reduces ambiguity at currently uncontrolled intersections, likely improving yielding and pedestrian/cyclist safety citywide," while warning that "over-signalization or poor timing could increase pedestrian delay and turning conflicts."

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

The matter, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks", was introduced 09/04/2025 and would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than January 1, 2027. Council Member Justin L. Brannan is listed as sponsor. The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects.

Sep 25 - Requires a stop sign or traffic signal at every crosswalk by Jan. 1, 2027. Aims to slow cars and make pedestrian priority clear. Likely reduces crash risk for people walking and biking, though blanket installs could bring compliance, delay, and over‑enforcement issues.
Int. 1394 (File No. Int 1394-2025) is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks", was introduced 09/04/2025 and would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than January 1, 2027. Council Member Justin L. Brannan is listed as sponsor. The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.

Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán.

Brannan co-sponsors bill setting deadlines for school-adjacent traffic devices.▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets adjacent to schools within 60 days of a traffic study. Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.
