Downtown Brooklyn bleeds at the seams: Tillary, Flatbush, Atlantic
Downtown Brooklyn-Dumbo-Boerum Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 25, 2025
Tillary takes. Flatbush grinds. Atlantic does not forgive.
A 74‑year‑old man on an e‑bike died when a bus made a right at Tillary and Jay. The city record lists “E‑Bike” and “Bus.” It lists “Ejected.” It lists “Apparent Death.” The time was 8:15 p.m. on Nov. 6, 2024. The place was here. The turn was right. The man did not get up (city crash log).
At Flatbush Avenue and State Street, a 45‑year‑old woman riding in the back seat was killed. The SUV was stopped in traffic. A sedan came straight. She died at 11:04 p.m. on Feb. 28, 2025. The sheet says “Crush Injuries.” It says “Apparent Death” (city crash log).
The rest live, but hurt. Since 2022, this area logged 2,231 crashes, 1,005 injuries, and two deaths. Pedestrians: 183 hurt. Cyclists: 166 hurt. People in cars: 616 hurt. Heavy vehicles did their share: trucks and buses are tied to 33 pedestrian injuries in the record, bikes to 18, SUVs and cars to 126 (city rollup).
Where the street spits you out
Tillary Street leads the injury tally here with 54 injuries and three serious injuries. Flatbush Avenue Extension shows 53 injuries and two serious injuries. Navy Street and Court Street also carry pain (hotspots).
Danger peaks in the late afternoon. From 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., injuries stack up hour by hour, hitting an 86‑injury spike at 2 p.m. Two deaths in this span landed at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. The clock does not matter. The body count comes either way (hourly pattern).
Failure to yield shows up in the files. So does inattention. So does improper passing. Unsafe speed appears in the case file where a rider on an e‑bike hit a woman crossing with the signal at Flatbush and Nevins; she suffered severe cuts. The sheet says the rider was unlicensed. It also says “Unsafe Speed” and “Passing or Lane Usage Improper” (case detail).
Children in the crosswalk
On Atlantic at Court, a 4‑year‑old boy crossing with the signal was hit by a left‑turning 2013 vehicle. The log lists “Failure to Yield Right‑of‑Way” and “Passenger Distraction.” He lived. He carries the entry “Crush Injuries” (intersection case).
At 501 Atlantic Avenue, a 67‑year‑old woman in the marked crosswalk was struck. The driver’s sheet reads “Driver Inattention/Distraction” and “Failure to Yield.” She suffered severe cuts. She was conscious. She also had the walk (intersection case).
This is not a riddle. Cars turn. People cross. The paint does not stop steel.
What City Hall has on paper
At City Hall, Council Member Lincoln Restler put his name on a resolution to let cameras ticket owners for posted parking rules. The stated aim is fewer illegal blockers. It sits in committee. The text calls on Albany to pass A.5440. The Council file is dated Aug. 14, 2025 (council record).
He also co‑sponsored a bill to force DOT to install school‑zone safety devices within 60 days after a study finding. Introduced the same day. Still in committee (bill file).
In Albany, lawmakers renewed New York City’s school‑zone speed cameras through 2030. One sponsor, Senator Andrew Gounardes, backed it. The city’s own numbers tied cameras to sharp drops in speeding and severe injuries, according to coverage on June 30, 2025 (Streetsblog; AMNY).
Gounardes also sponsored and voted yes in committee to require speed limiters for repeat violators under S 4045 in June 2025. The summary says it targets drivers who rack up points or repeated camera tickets. It passed committee votes on June 11–12 (Senate file).
What would stop the next siren on Tillary
- Daylight the corners and harden the turns at Tillary, Jay, and the Flatbush Avenue Extension. These are the injury leaders.
- Give walkers a head start at Atlantic and Court and across Flatbush. The case files list left turns, failed yields, and distraction.
- Target the late‑day hours for enforcement at the known peaks. The city’s clock data points to the 2–6 p.m. window.
Then tackle the citywide pattern that feeds these corners:
- Lower the default speed limit. Albany already renewed cameras citywide through 2030. The data tied them to fewer severe injuries where placed (Streetsblog).
- Pass and enforce speed limiters for repeat offenders. S 4045 is written for that. It cleared Senate committees with a yes from its sponsor (Senate file).
The map of Downtown Brooklyn is a ledger. Tillary. Flatbush. Atlantic. Names we know. Bodies we do not.
Take one step that counts. Tell City Hall and Albany to act now. Start here: Take Action.

Gounardes Mentioned in Bond Street Traffic Flip Debate▸Oct 21 - Councilmember Restler and Brooklyn leaders want DOT to flip Bond Street’s traffic northbound after Schermerhorn’s redesign.

The Community Board’s Transportation and Public Safety Committee, chaired by Sid Meyer, voted to support the change and insisted DOT maintain and protect the Bond Street bike lane with a physical barrier. Restler said, 'We believe that this proposal will improve traffic flow and enhance the public’s access to essential services, deliveries, and residences.' DOT is reviewing the proposal.

Gounardes Supports Safety Boosting Schermerhorn Street Bike Lane▸Oct 12 - City officials cut the ribbon on a new two-way protected bike lane on Schermerhorn Street.

On October 12, 2022, the Department of Transportation opened a fortified, two-way protected bike lane on Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn’s District 33. The project, championed by Councilmember Lincoln Restler, followed years of complaints about blocked, unprotected lanes and frequent crashes. The matter, described as a 'complete transformation of the look and feel of the corridor,' converted Schermerhorn from a chaotic two-way street to a one-way with parking-protected bike lanes. Restler, who once failed to ride the stretch without leaving the lane due to illegal parking, called the redesign 'real safety in downtown Brooklyn.' DOT data shows 29 cyclists injured and one killed on this stretch since 2012. The overhaul separates cyclists from moving vehicles, reducing risk for Brooklyn’s most vulnerable road users.

The project, championed by Councilmember Lincoln Restler, followed years of complaints about blocked, unprotected lanes and frequent crashes. The matter, described as a 'complete transformation of the look and feel of the corridor,' converted Schermerhorn from a chaotic two-way street to a one-way with parking-protected bike lanes. Restler, who once failed to ride the stretch without leaving the lane due to illegal parking, called the redesign 'real safety in downtown Brooklyn.' DOT data shows 29 cyclists injured and one killed on this stretch since 2012. The overhaul separates cyclists from moving vehicles, reducing risk for Brooklyn’s most vulnerable road users.

Simon Supports Safety Boosting Schermerhorn Protected Bike Lane▸Oct 12 - Officials cut the ribbon on a fortified, two-way bike lane on Schermerhorn Street. Cyclists now ride behind parked cars, shielded from traffic. The old, chaotic street saw 29 cyclist injuries and one death. Councilmember Restler pushed for this change.
On October 12, 2022, the Department of Transportation held a ribbon-cutting for the new protected bike lane on Schermerhorn Street in Brooklyn's District 33. The overhaul converted the street to one-way eastbound and installed a two-way, parking-protected bike lane. The matter summary reads: 'DOT cuts ribbon on newly fortified Schermerhorn Street bike lane.' Councilmember Lincoln Restler, who championed the redesign, attended the event and called it 'a great friggin day for Brooklyn.' The old lanes were unprotected and blocked by double-parked cars, forcing cyclists into traffic. Since 2012, 29 cyclists have been injured and one killed along this stretch. The new design separates cyclists from vehicles, aiming to end the danger that plagued this busy corridor.
