Bushwick’s Blood Price: How Many More Must Die Before We Act?
Bushwick (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Three dead. Nine seriously hurt. In Bushwick (West), from 2022 to now, the street keeps taking. In the last twelve months alone, 272 people were injured in crashes. The dead do not get a second chance. The injured carry it with them.
Just this spring, a van struck and killed a 59-year-old man at Wyckoff and De Kalb. He was crossing with the signal. The driver turned right. He did not make it home.
The Pattern: No End in Sight
Children are not spared. In May, an 11-year-old and a 16-year-old were injured by a pick-up truck on Stanhope Street. In September, a 26-year-old cyclist was killed at Evergreen and Hart. The list goes on. Cars, trucks, vans, mopeds—each one a weapon in the wrong hands.
Leadership: Votes and Silence
Local leaders have moved, but not fast enough. State Senator Julia Salazar voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat reckless drivers to install speed limiters. Assembly Member Maritza Davila co-sponsored the same bill. These are steps, not solutions. The street does not wait for studies or speeches.
The city removed a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue just last week. The barrier is gone. Cyclists are left to fend for themselves.
The Voices of the Living
The numbers are cold. The words cut deeper. After another Brooklyn pedestrian was killed, police reported, “A driver struck and killed a 47-year-old pedestrian… then left the scene.” The street is quiet again. The blood is washed away. The danger remains.
What Now: No More Waiting
This is not fate. It is policy. Every day without action is a choice. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real protection for every person who walks or rides. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Gutiérrez Backs Safety-Boosting 60-Day School Traffic Deadline▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets beside schools within 60 days of a study decision. Major projects are exempt. Faster delivery cuts speed and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists.
"If any traffic study conducted by the department determines it is appropriate to install, on any portion of a street adjacent to a school, a traffic calming device ... or a traffic control device" -- Jennifer Gutiérrez
Int. 1353-2025, introduced August 14, 2025, is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." Sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, the bill would require DOT to complete installation of an approved traffic calming or traffic control device within 60 days after a DOT study determination. Safety analysts say the 60-day clock speeds proven treatments, reduces speeds and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists, encourages walking and biking, and improves equity; major projects are exempt.

Gutiérrez Backs Safety-Boosting 60-Day School Traffic Deadline▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 forces DOT to install approved traffic calming or control devices on streets beside schools within 60 days of a study decision. Major projects are exempt. Faster delivery cuts speed and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists.
"If any traffic study conducted by the department determines it is appropriate to install, on any portion of a street adjacent to a school, a traffic calming device ... or a traffic control device" -- Jennifer Gutiérrez
Int. 1353-2025, introduced August 14, 2025, is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." Sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, the bill would require DOT to complete installation of an approved traffic calming or traffic control device within 60 days after a DOT study determination. Safety analysts say the 60-day clock speeds proven treatments, reduces speeds and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists, encourages walking and biking, and improves equity; major projects are exempt.

Major projects are exempt. Faster delivery cuts speed and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists.
"If any traffic study conducted by the department determines it is appropriate to install, on any portion of a street adjacent to a school, a traffic calming device ... or a traffic control device" -- Jennifer Gutiérrez
Int. 1353-2025, introduced August 14, 2025, is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The measure is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school."

The measure is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." Sponsored by Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, the bill would require DOT to complete installation of an approved traffic calming or traffic control device within 60 days after a DOT study determination. Safety analysts say the 60-day clock speeds proven treatments, reduces speeds and conflicts for child pedestrians and cyclists, encourages walking and biking, and improves equity; major projects are exempt.

Exempts major projects. Cuts delays that keep walkers and cyclists exposed to danger.
Bill: Int. 1353 (Int 1353-2025). Status: SPONSORSHIP. Committee: Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Key dates: filed 07/14/2025; published 08/14/2025. The matter "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school" requires DOT to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination, except for major projects. Primary sponsor: Farah N. Louis. Co-sponsors: Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Lincoln Restler, Tiffany Cabán. Safety analysts say the 60-day deadline shrinks harmful delays, likely improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists, aiding crossings, encouraging walking and biking to school, and advancing equity — but benefits depend on enforcement and funding.

Gutiérrez co-sponsors bill shortening installation timelines for school-area traffic devices.▸Aug 14 - Int. 1353 orders the department to finish traffic calming or control devices on streets next to schools within 60 days of a study determination. The law takes effect immediately. Sponsors moved to speed protective infrastructure for children.
Bill Int. 1353-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced 07/14/2025 and recorded 08/14/2025, the matter is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." The bill requires the department to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination. Primary sponsor Farah N. Louis introduced it. Co-sponsors Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Tiffany Cabán, Lincoln Restler and Shahana K. Hanif signed on. Requiring installation of traffic calming or control devices near schools within 60 days after a study determination is likely to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by accelerating protective infrastructure, encouraging safer driving, and supporting ‘safety in numbers’ and equitable protection for children; however impact depends on timely, evidence-based device selection and adequate resourcing for implementation.
