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.

Andrew Gounardes Supports Safety Boosting MTA Funding Increase▸Jan 28 - Albany leaders debate MTA’s future. Advocates want $500 million yearly to keep subways and buses moving. Riders face fare hikes and service cuts if lawmakers stall. The fight is urgent. Riders wait. Cars kill. Transit saves lives.
This funding debate centers on Gov. Hochul’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which allocates $6.6 billion in operating aid for the MTA but lacks new dedicated revenue. The proposal, discussed on January 28, 2022, has not advanced to a formal committee or bill stage. The matter: 'Who Wants To Give The MTA Half A Billion Dollars?' State Sen. Andrew Gounardes backs progressive funding, saying, 'Funding high-ridership bus routes and the subway such that transit options would be arriving every six minutes is something we need to be pushing for.' Comptroller Brad Lander and advocates like the Riders Alliance demand $500 million per year to avoid fare hikes and boost service. The push is clear: more frequent, affordable transit keeps vulnerable New Yorkers out of harm’s way. No formal safety analysis was provided, but the stakes for pedestrians and riders are life and death.

Andrew Gounardes Supports Safety Boosting MTA Funding Increase▸Jan 28 - Albany leaders debate MTA’s future. Advocates want $500 million yearly to keep subways and buses moving. Riders face fare hikes and service cuts if lawmakers stall. The fight is urgent. Riders wait. Cars kill. Transit saves lives.
This funding debate centers on Gov. Hochul’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which allocates $6.6 billion in operating aid for the MTA but lacks new dedicated revenue. The proposal, discussed on January 28, 2022, has not advanced to a formal committee or bill stage. The matter: 'Who Wants To Give The MTA Half A Billion Dollars?' State Sen. Andrew Gounardes backs progressive funding, saying, 'Funding high-ridership bus routes and the subway such that transit options would be arriving every six minutes is something we need to be pushing for.' Comptroller Brad Lander and advocates like the Riders Alliance demand $500 million per year to avoid fare hikes and boost service. The push is clear: more frequent, affordable transit keeps vulnerable New Yorkers out of harm’s way. No formal safety analysis was provided, but the stakes for pedestrians and riders are life and death.

Jan 30 - DOT drags its feet. Overweight trucks pound the BQE. Council Member Restler calls it a daily hazard. Lawmakers push for weigh-in-motion sensors. The city says setup takes a year. Vulnerable road users wait while trucks threaten collapse.
On January 30, 2022, Council Member Lincoln Restler (District 33) pressed for urgent action on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) weigh-in-motion (WIM) pilot. The bill, sponsored in the state legislature by Brian Kavanagh and Jo Anne Simon, was signed into law on December 22. The measure, described as a 'critical project' by DOT, aims to catch and fine overweight trucks using new sensors. Restler said, 'There are extremely overweight trucks barreling down the triple cantilever every single day that are a hazard to the health and safety of our community.' DOT claims the system will be operational by year’s end, citing technical complexity. The Brooklyn Heights Association and local officials demand faster action. The pilot is the first of its kind in the nation. Until sensors are live, the BQE remains a danger zone for everyone not behind the wheel.

Andrew Gounardes Supports Safety Boosting MTA Funding Increase▸Jan 28 - Albany leaders debate MTA’s future. Advocates want $500 million yearly to keep subways and buses moving. Riders face fare hikes and service cuts if lawmakers stall. The fight is urgent. Riders wait. Cars kill. Transit saves lives.
This funding debate centers on Gov. Hochul’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which allocates $6.6 billion in operating aid for the MTA but lacks new dedicated revenue. The proposal, discussed on January 28, 2022, has not advanced to a formal committee or bill stage. The matter: 'Who Wants To Give The MTA Half A Billion Dollars?' State Sen. Andrew Gounardes backs progressive funding, saying, 'Funding high-ridership bus routes and the subway such that transit options would be arriving every six minutes is something we need to be pushing for.' Comptroller Brad Lander and advocates like the Riders Alliance demand $500 million per year to avoid fare hikes and boost service. The push is clear: more frequent, affordable transit keeps vulnerable New Yorkers out of harm’s way. No formal safety analysis was provided, but the stakes for pedestrians and riders are life and death.
