Cypress Hills: Four crashes in a month, and a long ledger of pain
Cypress Hills: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 2, 2025
A driver in an SUV hit a 13-year-old on a bike on Vermont Street on Sep 27, 2025. Police recorded the child as injured. The crash involved a bike and an SUV near 97 Vermont St. NYC Open Data shows the injury and location in the official file.
This Month
- On Sep 25, a driver and a man on a bike collided at Norwood Ave and Ridgewood Ave; the bicyclist was injured. NYC Open Data
- On Sep 21, a driver in an SUV hit three people walking near Nichols Ave; all were injured. Police noted aggressive driving. NYC Open Data
- On Sep 1, a motorcycle and an SUV crashed at Atlantic Ave and Elton St; two people on the motorcycle were killed. NYC Open Data
The count here is not small
Since 2022, Cypress Hills has logged 1,820 crashes, with 3 people killed and 1,060 injured. Police recorded 23 serious injuries. These totals come from the city’s crash database for this neighborhood. NYC Open Data
The danger is daily and loud. Injuries peak in the late afternoon and early evening commute. Deaths hit at 6 PM and 8 PM in the local data window. NYC Open Data
Corners that keep hurting people
Atlantic Avenue leads the harm ledger here, with 68 injuries since 2022. Crescent Street has seen 23 injuries and three serious ones. These are the streets people cross to get home. These are the streets drivers speed on. NYC Open Data
Police reports cite aggressive driving in several local crashes, including the Sep 21 SUV that hit three people walking. Failure to yield and running lights also appear in the files. The pattern is familiar. The result is the same. NYC Open Data
The tools are on the table
The City Council is weighing universal daylighting to clear sightlines at corners. “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer,” Council Member Sandy Nurse said this summer. City & State NY
In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders Act — S4045 — would require repeat violators to install intelligent speed assistance that won’t let them push past the limit. State Senator Julia Salazar co-sponsored it and voted yes in committee. Open States
Salazar also backs automated protection for bike lanes, co-sponsoring S3304 to ticket drivers who block them. A blocked lane forces a person on a bike into traffic. The files in this neighborhood show what happens next. Open States
What local fixes fit the harm
- Harden corners on Atlantic Avenue and Crescent Street: daylighting, leading pedestrian intervals, and concrete at turns to slow drivers. City & State NY
- Targeted enforcement at the evening peak, when deaths have hit here, and against aggressive driving at Nichols Avenue and similar corridors. NYC Open Data
- Keep bike lanes clear with automated enforcement once authorized, so riders are not pushed into moving traffic. Open States
The last word is the next step
The child on Vermont Street is in the record now. So are the dead on Atlantic. The fixes exist. The officials are named. Call on them to use the tools they already have. Start here: /take_action/.

Salazar Backs Safety‑Boosting Morgan Avenue Redesign▸Aug 7 - A pedestrian was killed on Morgan Avenue — the third in three years. Advocates call for protected bike lanes and mid-block crossings. Officials back the push. The city has not redesigned the street. Danger remains.
Bill number: none. Status: infrastructure safety advocacy with no committee action. Key date: August 7, 2025 (reporting and renewed calls). The matter: "Three Years, Three Deaths: Advocates Want DOT To Make Morgan Avenue Safe." Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez publicly backed the redesign and warned of urgency, saying, "Every single death... is 100 percentable preventable." State Sen. Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Emily Gallagher also supported the push. Advocates demand a protected bike lane, mid-block crossings, and new loading zones. The lack of significant street redesign after repeated fatalities perpetuates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, discouraging active transportation and failing to address systemic risks. Advocates plan a community speak-out to press DOT for action.

Salazar Backs Safety‑Boosting Morgan Avenue Redesign▸Aug 7 - A pedestrian was killed on Morgan Avenue — the third in three years. Advocates call for protected bike lanes and mid-block crossings. Officials back the push. The city has not redesigned the street. Danger remains.
Bill number: none. Status: infrastructure safety advocacy with no committee action. Key date: August 7, 2025 (reporting and renewed calls). The matter: "Three Years, Three Deaths: Advocates Want DOT To Make Morgan Avenue Safe." Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez publicly backed the redesign and warned of urgency, saying, "Every single death... is 100 percentable preventable." State Sen. Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Emily Gallagher also supported the push. Advocates demand a protected bike lane, mid-block crossings, and new loading zones. The lack of significant street redesign after repeated fatalities perpetuates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, discouraging active transportation and failing to address systemic risks. Advocates plan a community speak-out to press DOT for action.

Salazar Backs Safety‑Boosting Morgan Avenue Redesign▸Aug 7 - A pedestrian was killed on Morgan Avenue — the third in three years. Advocates call for protected bike lanes and mid-block crossings. Officials back the push. The city has not redesigned the street. Danger remains.
Bill number: none. Status: infrastructure safety advocacy with no committee action. Key date: August 7, 2025 (reporting and renewed calls). The matter: "Three Years, Three Deaths: Advocates Want DOT To Make Morgan Avenue Safe." Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez publicly backed the redesign and warned of urgency, saying, "Every single death... is 100 percentable preventable." State Sen. Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Emily Gallagher also supported the push. Advocates demand a protected bike lane, mid-block crossings, and new loading zones. The lack of significant street redesign after repeated fatalities perpetuates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, discouraging active transportation and failing to address systemic risks. Advocates plan a community speak-out to press DOT for action.

Salazar Backs Safety‑Boosting Morgan Avenue Redesign▸Aug 7 - A pedestrian was killed on Morgan Avenue — the third in three years. Advocates call for protected bike lanes and mid-block crossings. Officials back the push. The city has not redesigned the street. Danger remains.
Bill number: none. Status: infrastructure safety advocacy with no committee action. Key date: August 7, 2025 (reporting and renewed calls). The matter: "Three Years, Three Deaths: Advocates Want DOT To Make Morgan Avenue Safe." Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez publicly backed the redesign and warned of urgency, saying, "Every single death... is 100 percentable preventable." State Sen. Julia Salazar and Assembly Member Emily Gallagher also supported the push. Advocates demand a protected bike lane, mid-block crossings, and new loading zones. The lack of significant street redesign after repeated fatalities perpetuates unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, discouraging active transportation and failing to address systemic risks. Advocates plan a community speak-out to press DOT for action.
