Dead Reckoning on These Blocks
Since Jan 1, 2022, Cypress Hills has logged 1,456 crashes, with 833 people injured and 3 killed. NYC Open Data
In the last 12 months alone: 3 deaths and 253 injuries. NYC Open Data
Drivers in SUVs and sedans injured at least 76 pedestrians in this area. Police also recorded failures to yield, inattention, and drivers running lights among the causes. NYC Open Data
Where the Street Bites
Atlantic Avenue is a repeat killer here, tied to 2 deaths in this period. Crescent Street shows 3 serious injuries. These are the corners people talk about. NYC Open Data
Harm rises after dark. The 7 PM hour alone recorded 67 injuries across these years; 9 PM logged 47. That is when the sirens carry. NYC Open Data
Fix What We Can See
Daylight the corners so drivers can see the people they will hit if they turn blind. The Council’s Progressive Caucus is pushing a citywide bill to ban parking near crosswalks. “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers,” Council Member Sandy Nurse said. City & State
Target the hotspots at night: Atlantic Avenue, Crescent Street. Do it when the data says harm spikes. NYC Open Data
Shut Down the Worst Speeders
Albany has a tool to cage repeat dangerous driving. Senate bill S 4045 would require intelligent speed‑assistance devices for drivers with 11 or more DMV points in 24 months or six speed or red‑light camera tickets in a year. State Sen. Julia Salazar is listed as a co‑sponsor and voted yes in committee. Open States
This is the same fight as the one on Atlantic and Elton. Fewer reckless drivers. Slower turns at corners. Fewer families getting the call at night.
What Happens Now
Local leaders are on the record. Nurse backs daylighting. Salazar backs speed limiters. The path is in their hands. City & State Open States
The fixes are not abstract. They are a clear corner. A left turn that does not kill. A night without sirens on Atlantic Avenue. Act now: head to our page and push for concrete steps in your district. /take_action/

Salazar Supports Safety Boosting State DOT BQE Planning▸Feb 10 - Eighteen Brooklyn officials demand state DOT address BQE’s full deadly stretch. They reject piecemeal fixes. They call out decades of harm. The state’s refusal leaves neighborhoods exposed. The city’s hands are tied. The highway’s danger remains. Vulnerable lives hang in the balance.
On February 10, 2023, eighteen Brooklyn lawmakers issued a joint letter demanding New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) participate in comprehensive planning for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). The statement, prompted by a Streetsblog report, reads: "We ask that the NYS DOT remember the daily harms caused by the BQE in its current state—not just the crumbling cantilever section—and join us at the table in search of a solution." The group includes Reps. Nydia Velázquez, Dan Goldman, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, state Sens. Jabari Brisport, Julia Salazar, Kristen Gonzalez, Andrew Gounardes, Assembly Members Bobby Carroll, Maritza Davila, Phara Souffrant Forrest, Emily Gallagher, Jo Anne Simon, Marcela Mitaynes, and Council Members Alexa Avilés, Shahana Hanif, Crystal Hudson, Jennifer Gutiérrez, and Lincoln Restler. Senator Gounardes called the state’s refusal to join the city’s visioning process “unacceptable and irresponsible.” The lawmakers stress that the BQE’s harms—crashes, pollution, division—stretch from Bay Ridge to Greenpoint. Without state action, only city-owned segments see attention. The city’s efforts are limited. The state’s inaction leaves systemic danger unaddressed.

Feb 10 - Eighteen Brooklyn officials demand state DOT address BQE’s full deadly stretch. They reject piecemeal fixes. They call out decades of harm. The state’s refusal leaves neighborhoods exposed. The city’s hands are tied. The highway’s danger remains. Vulnerable lives hang in the balance.
On February 10, 2023, eighteen Brooklyn lawmakers issued a joint letter demanding New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) participate in comprehensive planning for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). The statement, prompted by a Streetsblog report, reads: "We ask that the NYS DOT remember the daily harms caused by the BQE in its current state—not just the crumbling cantilever section—and join us at the table in search of a solution." The group includes Reps. Nydia Velázquez, Dan Goldman, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, state Sens. Jabari Brisport, Julia Salazar, Kristen Gonzalez, Andrew Gounardes, Assembly Members Bobby Carroll, Maritza Davila, Phara Souffrant Forrest, Emily Gallagher, Jo Anne Simon, Marcela Mitaynes, and Council Members Alexa Avilés, Shahana Hanif, Crystal Hudson, Jennifer Gutiérrez, and Lincoln Restler. Senator Gounardes called the state’s refusal to join the city’s visioning process “unacceptable and irresponsible.” The lawmakers stress that the BQE’s harms—crashes, pollution, division—stretch from Bay Ridge to Greenpoint. Without state action, only city-owned segments see attention. The city’s efforts are limited. The state’s inaction leaves systemic danger unaddressed.
