Who’s responsible, who’s acting

Your council member is Selvena N. Brooks‑Powers. She co‑sponsored a bill to crack down on unlicensed commuter vans, and earlier backed the city’s greenway master plan to expand safe routes for walking and biking. Legistar AMNY

Your state senator is James Sanders. He voted yes in committee for S 4045, which would require intelligent speed limiters for repeat violators. Open States

What will actually stop this

  • Hardened turns, daylighting, and leading pedestrian intervals at Brookville Boulevard and along Laurelton Parkway would slow drivers before the crossing and buy people walking a head start. These are standard tools in the city toolkit reflected in crash reductions elsewhere; the open data show where to start. NYC Open Data
  • Targeted enforcement for failure‑to‑yield and distraction at afternoon and evening peaks when injuries spike. NYC Open Data
  • Citywide: Lower default speeds and fit repeat violators with speed limiters. Albany has the bill; the Senate sponsor moved it; the Assembly can act. Open States

The woman hit just after 7 AM at 242nd and 138th is not a statistic. But the street will make her one unless we change it. Start here. Take action.
