Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Williamsburg?
Williamsburg Bleeds While City Hall Turns Back
Williamsburg: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 17, 2025
Blood on the Streets: The Toll in Williamsburg
A man dies behind the wheel on Lorimer. A cyclist, helmet on, is crushed on Kent Avenue. Two teens on bikes, both sixteen, are thrown and cut open on Driggs. A pedestrian, 26, is struck in the head by a backing sedan on Hope Street. In three and a half years, Williamsburg has seen 3 deaths and 10 serious injuries from crashes. 825 people have been hurt. The numbers do not flinch. They do not heal.
Broken Promises, Broken Bones
The city tried to build a shield. They called it a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. It was supposed to keep riders safe. It failed. Crashes piled up. The city tore it out. As CBS New York reported, “The redesign was initially intended to improve safety for cyclists, but recent incidents have prompted city officials to revert to the previous layout.” The shield is gone. The street is bare again.
Mayor Adams called it a matter of safety. He said he was “back-pedaling on a protected bike lane… citing safety concerns.” The city’s answer to danger is to take away the only barrier between flesh and steel.
Who Pays the Price?
The city counts the dead. It counts the injured. It does not count the cost to families, to children, to the ones who walk and ride because they have no other way. Cars and trucks caused the most pain—22 crashes left pedestrians bleeding or worse. Bikes and mopeds, too, but the numbers are smaller. The city’s answer is to wait, to study, to undo what little was done.
What Now? Take the Fight to City Hall
This is not fate. This is policy.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to stop removing protections. Tell them to build streets that do not kill. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real barriers, not paint. Demand action before another name is added to the list.

Emily Gallagher Demands Safety Boosting McGuinness Boulevard Redesign▸A 75-year-old woman lies in critical condition after a driver struck her on McGuinness Boulevard. The wide, fast road has long endangered walkers. Assemblymember Emily Gallagher calls for urgent safety changes. Neighbors demand a road diet, bike lanes, and traffic calming.
On January 25, 2022, Assemblymember Emily Gallagher responded to a severe crash on McGuinness Boulevard in Council District 50. A 75-year-old pedestrian was hit midblock by a driver in a Lincoln Corsair. Gallagher wrote, 'Extremely distressing to see another serious crash injuring a pedestrian on McGuinness. I’m thinking about the victim and continuing to fight for our improvements, which can’t come soon enough.' The street, notorious for speeding and poor crossings, is slated for a $39 million redesign after years of advocacy and deadly crashes. The Make McGuinness Safe Coalition and residents have pushed for a road diet, bike lanes, and traffic calming. The Department of Transportation is gathering public feedback, with construction expected later this year. Gallagher’s stance and the community’s demands highlight the urgent need to protect vulnerable road users on this dangerous stretch.

On January 25, 2022, a senior pedestrian was gravely injured by a driver on McGuinness Boulevard, a corridor infamous for traffic violence. The incident follows years of crashes—1,290 in eight years, injuring dozens of cyclists and pedestrians. Mayor Bill de Blasio pledged $40 million for a redesign after a fatal hit-and-run in 2021, stating, 'We are putting money in the budget immediately to redesign and fix McGuinness Boulevard. It’s time.' Council Member Emily Gallagher voiced frustration: 'Extremely distressing to see another serious crash injuring a pedestrian... improvements can’t come soon enough.' Steve Levin and Danny Harris echoed calls for urgent redesign and speed control. Despite a lowered speed limit and repeated studies, the city has failed to act. Residents and advocates reject further delays, insisting the evidence is clear: McGuinness remains deadly until real changes are made.

Reynoso Supports Safety Boosting Interborough Express Train Project▸Gov. Hochul backs a new train line linking Queens and Brooklyn. The Interborough Express uses old tracks for new rapid transit. Borough presidents Richards and Reynoso support it. The plan faces cost, freight, and construction hurdles. Public review comes next.
On January 21, 2022, Gov. Hochul announced the Interborough Express (IBX) project, a new train line connecting Bay Ridge in Brooklyn to Jackson Heights in Queens. The project is in early stages, with environmental review and public input ahead. The MTA’s feasibility study considered light rail, commuter rail, and bus rapid transit, aiming for a 45-minute end-to-end trip. The matter summary states: 'New York City is getting a new train line, the Interborough Express (IBX), thanks to Gov. Hochul's support for passenger service on the rail right of way connecting Queens and Brooklyn.' Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso voiced support at the announcement. The project uses existing right-of-way, avoiding eminent domain, but faces challenges with freight integration, track upgrades, and uncertain costs. Modular station designs aim to keep expenses down. No formal safety analysis for vulnerable road users has been published.

Reynoso Supports Safety Boosting Annual Loading Zone Mandate▸City law now forces DOT to install 500 new loading zones each year. The move aims to curb double parking and ease delivery chaos. The original plan was bigger, but politics cut it down. DOT faces pushback from drivers and boards. Streets stay dangerous.
Bill number not specified. Passed by the City Council in late 2021, this law requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create at least 500 loading zones annually. The measure, authored by then-Council Member Antonio Reynoso, instructs DOT to use neighborhood density and public requests to guide placement. DOT spokesman Vin Barone said, 'We’re expanding our loading zone program to meet the increasing demands of deliveries and cut down on unsafe double parking.' The original bill sought 25% of curb space for loading in dense areas, but the de Blasio administration opposed it. The final law was a compromise. DOT has struggled to site zones in residential neighborhoods due to driver and community board resistance. Transportation Alternatives backed the bill, calling current street use 'inequitable' and harmful to public health, safety, and city goals. No formal safety analyst assessment was provided.

Reynoso Supports Safety Boosting Annual Loading Zone Mandate▸City law now forces DOT to install 500 new loading zones each year. The move aims to curb double parking and ease delivery chaos. The original plan was bigger, but politics cut it down. DOT faces pushback from drivers and boards. Streets stay dangerous.
Bill number not specified. Passed by the City Council in late 2021, this law requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create at least 500 loading zones annually. The measure, authored by then-Council Member Antonio Reynoso, instructs DOT to use neighborhood density and public requests to guide placement. DOT spokesman Vin Barone said, 'We’re expanding our loading zone program to meet the increasing demands of deliveries and cut down on unsafe double parking.' The original bill sought 25% of curb space for loading in dense areas, but the de Blasio administration opposed it. The final law was a compromise. DOT has struggled to site zones in residential neighborhoods due to driver and community board resistance. Transportation Alternatives backed the bill, calling current street use 'inequitable' and harmful to public health, safety, and city goals. No formal safety analyst assessment was provided.

Gov. Hochul backs a new train line linking Queens and Brooklyn. The Interborough Express uses old tracks for new rapid transit. Borough presidents Richards and Reynoso support it. The plan faces cost, freight, and construction hurdles. Public review comes next.
On January 21, 2022, Gov. Hochul announced the Interborough Express (IBX) project, a new train line connecting Bay Ridge in Brooklyn to Jackson Heights in Queens. The project is in early stages, with environmental review and public input ahead. The MTA’s feasibility study considered light rail, commuter rail, and bus rapid transit, aiming for a 45-minute end-to-end trip. The matter summary states: 'New York City is getting a new train line, the Interborough Express (IBX), thanks to Gov. Hochul's support for passenger service on the rail right of way connecting Queens and Brooklyn.' Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso voiced support at the announcement. The project uses existing right-of-way, avoiding eminent domain, but faces challenges with freight integration, track upgrades, and uncertain costs. Modular station designs aim to keep expenses down. No formal safety analysis for vulnerable road users has been published.
