Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Bedford-Stuyvesant (East)?
No More Widows for Van Buren: Lower the Speed, Save a Life
Bedford-Stuyvesant (East): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 19, 2025
Blood on the Asphalt: The Human Cost
A woman steps out of her car on Van Buren Street. She is pregnant. She is struck, dragged, and left to die. Her name is Tiffany Cifuni. Her husband says, “I lost my whole family tonight and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same” (NY Daily News).
In the last twelve months, two people have died on these streets. Four more suffered serious injuries. There have been 376 injuries in 590 crashes. The numbers do not bleed, but the people do.
Patterns of Harm: Who Pays the Price
SUVs and cars kill. In this region, SUVs alone have taken three lives and caused 71 moderate injuries. Trucks and buses have left two people with serious wounds. Bikes and mopeds break bones and skin, but it is the weight of steel that crushes and ends lives (NYC Open Data).
The dead are not numbers. They are the 32-year-old woman run down after a minor crash. The 68-year-old woman struck while crossing with the signal. The 26-year-old moped rider, ejected and killed. Each one is a family torn open.
Leadership: Words, Laws, and Waiting
Local leaders talk of Vision Zero. They pass laws. They call for lower speed limits. But the blood dries before the ink. “We will not rest until it’s over and we get justice for Tiffany,” her family says (New York Post).
Sammy’s Law gives the city power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. The city can act. It has not acted fast enough. Cameras catch speeders, but Albany must renew the law or the cameras go dark. Every delay is another risk, another family waiting for a call in the night.
What Now: No More Waiting
This is not fate. This is policy. Every crash is preventable. Every death is a choice made by those in power. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where no one has to bury their child.
