Franklin and Myrtle: a bike, a bumper, and a bruise
Bedford-Stuyvesant (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 23, 2025
Just before 1 PM at Franklin and Myrtle on Oct 17, a driver in a 2019 Chrysler SUV hit a person on a bike. Police logged the cyclist injured, a bruise to the arm, and both parties moving straight when they met in the crosswalk’s shadow (NYC Open Data).
This is not a fluke. Since 2022, 11 people have been killed and 1,868 injured on these Bed‑Stuy (West) streets, across 3,482 crashes (NYC Open Data). Seven of the dead were walking. One was on a bike. The toll piles up at rush hour, with injuries peaking around 5 PM (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 14 at Franklin and Willoughby, police recorded unsafe speed by the driver; an 11‑year‑old girl crossing with the signal was injured (NYC Open Data).
- Oct 14 at MacDonough and Marcy, a right‑turning Mercedes driver hit a man on a bike; he was injured (NYC Open Data).
Bedford Avenue keeps taking
Bedford Avenue is the worst hot spot here: two deaths and 158 injuries since 2022. Myrtle Avenue also shows two deaths at its worst location (NYC Open Data). Council Member Chi Ossé pressed the city to stop stalling on a protected lane for Bedford: “The Bedford Avenue bike lane has been unacceptably dangerous since it was first laid, and for years, the people of my district have been promised that it would be protected” (Streetsblog NYC).
The promises keep slipping. The injuries do not.
What police write on the form
Police marked “unsafe speed” for the driver who hit the 11‑year‑old at Franklin and Willoughby. They marked “failure to yield” in fatal cases here too, including a man killed while crossing with the signal at Herkimer and New York and another at Bedford and Flushing (NYC Open Data). A dump truck driver making a right turn killed a man on a bike at Lexington and Franklin in 2023. The notes are short. The damage is not (NYC Open Data).
Fix the corners. Slow the turns.
Start with corners: daylight every crosswalk so drivers can see people at the edge. Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened turns to force slow, square moves. Ossé already co‑sponsored a city bill to ban parking near crosswalks citywide (Int 1138‑2024) in service of exactly this change (Streetsblog NYC).
Then finish the Bedford Avenue protected lane. Paint did not save the last two people who died there. Concrete might.
Albany has the tools. Use them.
The State Senate is moving a bill to force repeat speeders to install intelligent speed limiters. State Senator Jabari Brisport co‑sponsored it and voted yes in committee (S 4045). In the Assembly, a matching bill is on the table (A 2299). Our Assembly Member is Stefani Zinerman. She voted yes to extend school speed zones in 2025. She is not listed as a co‑sponsor on A 2299 in the provided record. What gives? (S 8344, A 2299).
Ossé called out the delay on Bedford. “Unacceptable,” he wrote. The city has not delivered. The crashes keep coming (Streetsblog NYC).
The pattern is plain: kids in the crosswalk, elders at the corner, cyclists on the green line. Corners need space. Turns need force. Repeat speeders need a governor.
Act: tell City Hall to finish the safety work on Bedford and daylight every corner; tell Albany to pass the speed‑limiter bills. Start here.
