Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate?
No Deaths Yet—But the Streets Are Still Running Red
Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 31, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
No one died here this year. But the silence is not peace. Since last July, 233 people have been hurt in crashes in Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Wingate. Seven were left with serious wounds. No one walks away from a crushed leg or a broken skull the same. Children, elders, workers—no one is spared.
Just last March, a 38-year-old man was crushed by a truck on East New York Avenue. In November, a 75-year-old woman was struck by a turning sedan while crossing with the signal. In October, two men—one 38, one 77—were both left bleeding in the street after a truck turned through a crosswalk. The oldest victim was 85, hit by a pickup truck. The youngest, a child not yet grown. No one is safe.
The System Fails the Vulnerable
Most victims are on foot. Trucks and cars do the most damage. Of the pedestrian injuries, trucks caused the worst: five serious injuries, twelve hurt in all. Cars and SUVs struck 127 people. Buses, motorcycles, bikes—each left their mark, but the big machines do the killing.
The stories repeat. A driver turns. A pedestrian crosses. The light changes. Someone does not come home. The numbers pile up, but the city moves slow. “We started talking about a plan in 2014 and it’s now 2025. What is going on?” asked Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes.
Leadership: Promises and Pauses
Council Member Rita Joseph co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, to clear the sightlines and save lives. The bill sits in committee. State Senator Zellnor Myrie backs bus rapid transit and protected bike lanes, but the lanes are not here yet. The road is still dangerous.
The city has the power to lower speed limits. It has not done so. The city can build barriers, redesign streets, enforce the law. It has not done enough. “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again.” said State Senator Andrew Gounardes.
Act Now—Before the Next Siren
Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand protected crossings. Demand action, not words.
Every day the city waits, another family waits for news that will break them. The blood is on the street. The time is now.

Brooklyn Parents Demand Safer School Streets▸Parents in Greenpoint want cars out. A cyclist died at Monitor and Driggs. Children walk and bike to PS 110. The street stays dangerous. The city has not acted. Families wait. The threat of cars remains.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 11, 2025, that parents at Public School 110 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, are calling for a Paris-style school street to protect children. Their plan would turn Monitor Street into a cul-de-sac with a pedestrian plaza, add mid-block crossings, and close a slip lane to block cut-through traffic from the BQE. The push follows a fatal crash at Monitor and Driggs, where a driver killed 73-year-old cyclist Teddy Orzechowski. Streetsblog notes, 'Streets outside schools have higher crash and injury rates than the city average.' Most PS 110 families walk or bike, but the city has not responded to the proposal. The article highlights the persistent risk from drivers using local streets as shortcuts.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Parents in Greenpoint want cars out. A cyclist died at Monitor and Driggs. Children walk and bike to PS 110. The street stays dangerous. The city has not acted. Families wait. The threat of cars remains.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 11, 2025, that parents at Public School 110 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, are calling for a Paris-style school street to protect children. Their plan would turn Monitor Street into a cul-de-sac with a pedestrian plaza, add mid-block crossings, and close a slip lane to block cut-through traffic from the BQE. The push follows a fatal crash at Monitor and Driggs, where a driver killed 73-year-old cyclist Teddy Orzechowski. Streetsblog notes, 'Streets outside schools have higher crash and injury rates than the city average.' Most PS 110 families walk or bike, but the city has not responded to the proposal. The article highlights the persistent risk from drivers using local streets as shortcuts.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.

Myrie Supports Tisch Retention Despite Harmful Cyclist Crackdown▸Mayoral hopefuls Lander and Myrie vow to keep NYPD Commissioner Tisch. They stand firm as her department targets cyclists. The pledge signals no shift in police leadership. Cyclists face mounting pressure. Streets stay dangerous. Politicians hold the line.
On June 9, 2025, mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie publicly reaffirmed their support for retaining NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. This comes as Tisch’s department intensifies enforcement against cyclists. Streetsblog NYC reported, 'Both Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, mayoral candidates, have reiterated their pledge to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns over her crackdown on cyclists.' Lander’s spokesperson, Kat Capossela, said Lander trusts Tisch to implement his policies, including cracking down on reckless drivers, even as Tisch currently targets cyclists. Myrie’s campaign promised to keep streets safe without unnecessary enforcement. Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and former Comptroller Scott Stringer also weighed in, but stopped short of firm commitments. A safety analyst notes: Retaining a commissioner known for crackdowns on cyclists likely perpetuates enforcement-focused approaches that burden vulnerable road users, discouraging cycling and undermining mode shift and street equity.
