East New York (North): deaths in the crosswalks, injuries by the hour
East New York (North): Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 28, 2025
East New York (North) does not heal
- Since 2022, this small slice of Brooklyn logged 2,514 crashes, with 1,531 people hurt and 4 killed. Pedestrians took 196 injuries and 3 deaths; cyclists 78 injuries. These are the city’s own numbers. See the rollups and tallies in the data here.
- The harm does not sleep. Injury peaks stack through the day, with pronounced clusters around school release and rush: noon to 4 PM shows repeated spikes, and again near 6 PM and 9 PM. The hour-by-hour counts are in the neighborhood profile here.
A man down in the crosswalk
- Jan 24, 2025, about 9 AM. A 57‑year‑old woman crossed with the signal at Pennsylvania and Blake. An SUV turned left and hit her. She died. The city data marks “Failure to Yield” and “Driver Inattention.” The crash record is here.
- Sep 4, 2023, early evening. A 26‑year‑old woman at Atlantic and Van Siclen was struck and killed by a westbound sedan while crossing. The file logs “Crossing Against Signal.” She is still gone. The crash is here.
- Jul 3, 2025, just before 10 PM. Broadway at East New York Avenue. A 36‑year‑old man at the intersection was hit by a sedan going straight. He died at the scene. The record is here.
Streets that keep taking
- Pennsylvania Avenue and Pitkin Avenue keep showing up in the ledgers: 148 injuries along Atlantic Avenue; 115 on Pitkin; 148 on Pennsylvania. The worst single location listed is 1000 Sutter Ave, with 8 serious injuries. Hotspots are in the small‑area analysis here.
- Aug 17, 2025, late afternoon. Five sedans tangled near 1000 Sutter. Four occupants went to the hospital. The multi‑vehicle file sits here.
Night work, early grief
- The harm spreads across the clock, but the map glows at 2 PM, 3 PM, and 4 PM, then again at 6 PM and 9 PM. Serious injuries jump at 4 PM. Hour detail is in the distribution chart here.
- Vehicles that hit people here are mostly sedans and SUVs. In the pedestrian injury rollup, sedans account for most deaths and injuries, followed by SUVs. See the cause‑by‑vehicle breakdown here.
Subway edge, no margin
- Aug 10, 2025, about 6 PM. A man fell onto the southbound tracks at the Sutter Ave L station and was hit by a train. “EMS pronounced the victim dead at the scene,” an FDNY spokesman said. Police said, “No criminality is suspected.” The report is here.
What City Hall has — and hasn’t — done
- Albany gave the city power to set lower speeds. The city can set safer limits on local streets. Use it. Our primer on a 20 MPH default and why it matters is here.
- Repeat speeders drive the body count. The Senate moved a bill to force speed limiters on drivers who rack up violations. State Sen. Roxanne Persaud voted yes in committee on May 20 and Jun 12, 2025. The bill file is here.
Fix the corners that kill
- Target the worst blocks first: daylighting at Pennsylvania and Pitkin; hardened left turns at Pennsylvania and Blake; leading pedestrian intervals where signals exist along Atlantic, Pennsylvania, and Pitkin. The recurring patterns and sites are flagged in the small‑area analysis here.
- Work the deadly hours. Send enforcement and street teams to the afternoon peaks and early evening surge documented in the hour data here.
The through‑line is speed

Nurse Urges Adams to Sign Safety‑Boosting Delivery Wage Bill▸Aug 6 - Adams promised fair pay for delivery workers. Now he stalls. Council bills pass, but the mayor balks. Riders wait. Streets stay harsh. No new shield for the most exposed.
"Mayor Adams promised to raise pay standards for tens of thousands of grocery delivery workers, and signing Intro 1135 into law is key to fulfilling that. He made this commitment clear in 2022" -- Sandy Nurse
On August 6, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams signaled a likely veto of Intro 1135, a City Council bill to expand minimum wage protections to over 20,000 grocery delivery workers. The Council passed the bill with a veto-proof majority. Council Member Sandy Nurse, the sponsor, called out Adams for breaking his 2022 promise to raise pay standards. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection backed the bill, saying it would close gaps in pay protections. According to safety analysts, this event concerns labor protections and does not directly affect street safety or infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

Nurse Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Jul 30 - Council moves to ban parking near corners. Sightlines clear. Crashes drop. Pedestrians and cyclists breathe easier. DOT doubts linger. Advocates press on. Streets could change fast.
""Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers."" -- Sandy Nurse
On July 30, 2025, the NYC Council Progressive Caucus made a major push for Intro 1138, a bill to ban parking within 20 feet of intersections. The measure sits with the Transportation Committee. Council Member Julie Won introduced it after deadly crashes in her district. Eighteen caucus members back the bill, aiming to force a vote this year. The matter: 'eliminate parking within 20 feet of an intersection.' Council Member Sandy Nurse called daylighting 'a proven, effective way to make our streets safer.' DOT raised doubts about non-hardened daylighting, but safety analysts say restricting parking near intersections improves visibility, reduces collisions, and protects people on foot and bike.

Nurse Urges Adams to Sign Safety‑Boosting Delivery Wage Bill▸Aug 6 - Adams promised fair pay for delivery workers. Now he stalls. Council bills pass, but the mayor balks. Riders wait. Streets stay harsh. No new shield for the most exposed.
"Mayor Adams promised to raise pay standards for tens of thousands of grocery delivery workers, and signing Intro 1135 into law is key to fulfilling that. He made this commitment clear in 2022" -- Sandy Nurse
On August 6, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams signaled a likely veto of Intro 1135, a City Council bill to expand minimum wage protections to over 20,000 grocery delivery workers.

The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection backed the bill, saying it would close gaps in pay protections. According to safety analysts, this event concerns labor protections and does not directly affect street safety or infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

Nurse Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Jul 30 - Council moves to ban parking near corners. Sightlines clear. Crashes drop. Pedestrians and cyclists breathe easier. DOT doubts linger. Advocates press on. Streets could change fast.
""Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers."" -- Sandy Nurse
On July 30, 2025, the NYC Council Progressive Caucus made a major push for Intro 1138, a bill to ban parking within 20 feet of intersections. The measure sits with the Transportation Committee. Council Member Julie Won introduced it after deadly crashes in her district. Eighteen caucus members back the bill, aiming to force a vote this year. The matter: 'eliminate parking within 20 feet of an intersection.' Council Member Sandy Nurse called daylighting 'a proven, effective way to make our streets safer.' DOT raised doubts about non-hardened daylighting, but safety analysts say restricting parking near intersections improves visibility, reduces collisions, and protects people on foot and bike.

Nurse Backs Safety-Boosting Universal Daylighting Measure▸Jul 30 - Council moves to ban parking near corners. Sightlines clear. Crashes drop. Pedestrians and cyclists breathe easier. DOT doubts linger. Advocates press on. Streets could change fast.
""Universal daylighting is a proven, effective way to make our streets safer for pedestrians, bikers and drivers."" -- Sandy Nurse
On July 30, 2025, the NYC Council Progressive Caucus made a major push for Intro 1138, a bill to ban parking within 20 feet of intersections. The measure sits with the Transportation Committee. Council Member Julie Won introduced it after deadly crashes in her district. Eighteen caucus members back the bill, aiming to force a vote this year. The matter: 'eliminate parking within 20 feet of an intersection.' Council Member Sandy Nurse called daylighting 'a proven, effective way to make our streets safer.' DOT raised doubts about non-hardened daylighting, but safety analysts say restricting parking near intersections improves visibility, reduces collisions, and protects people on foot and bike.

Aug 6 - Adams promised fair pay for delivery workers. Now he stalls. Council bills pass, but the mayor balks. Riders wait. Streets stay harsh. No new shield for the most exposed.
"Mayor Adams promised to raise pay standards for tens of thousands of grocery delivery workers, and signing Intro 1135 into law is key to fulfilling that. He made this commitment clear in 2022" -- Sandy Nurse
On August 6, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams signaled a likely veto of Intro 1135, a City Council bill to expand minimum wage protections to over 20,000 grocery delivery workers. The Council passed the bill with a veto-proof majority. Council Member Sandy Nurse, the sponsor, called out Adams for breaking his 2022 promise to raise pay standards. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection backed the bill, saying it would close gaps in pay protections. According to safety analysts, this event concerns labor protections and does not directly affect street safety or infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.
