The toll does not let up

Since 2022, in East New York (North), drivers killed 3 people walking and injured 262. Another 108 people on bikes were hurt. NYC Open Data

Injuries stack up in the afternoon. The 2 PM hour logged 133 injuries; 4 PM saw 123. Evening deaths were recorded at 6 PM, 8 PM, and 9 PM. NYC Open Data

Police often note driver inattention and failure to yield in these crashes. Those are recorded factors in recent hits at Atlantic and Hinsdale and across the map. NYC Open Data

Atlantic and Pennsylvania keep drawing blood

Atlantic Avenue carries a heavy share here, with a recorded death and many injuries along the corridor. Pennsylvania Avenue also shows a high injury load. These are not secrets; they repeat in the data. NYC Open Data

At 1000 Sutter Ave, eight people were recorded with serious injuries. Corners like this need what works: clear sightlines, slower turns, and fewer blind corners. Daylighting is on the table citywide; as Council Member Sandy Nurse put it, “Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer.” City & State NY

Who will act for East New York?

Your Council Member is Chris Banks. He co‑sponsored a bill to remove protected bike and bus lane benchmarks from the city’s master plan (Int 1362‑2025) and another to crack down on unlicensed commuter vans (Int 1347‑2025). The first strips hard targets; the second leans on punitive enforcement. NYC Council – Legistar

Your State Senator is Roxanne Persaud. She voted yes in committee on S 4045, a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat offenders. The Open States record shows the measure advanced with her support. Open States

Your Assembly Member is Erik Dilan. On repeat‑speeder technology, the Senate has moved; the Assembly still must act. Open States

Slow the cars. Stop the repeats.

The fixes are not mysteries. Daylight the corners that keep hurting people. Add hardened turns and longer walk leads where the injuries stack up. On the big stage, lower the default speed and fit the worst repeat drivers with limiters.

Albany has a tool on the table in S 4045. City Hall has another: use Sammy’s Law authority to set safer speeds. Both cut risk for people who walk and bike. For next steps and contacts, start here.
