Two bike crashes on 3rd Avenue. One neighborhood’s ledger.
Bay Ridge: Jan 1, 2022 - Nov 1, 2025
Just after 7 PM on Oct 27, at 93rd Street and 3rd Avenue, the driver of a sedan hit a man on a bike. Police records list the driver “turning improperly.” The cyclist was hurt. Source.
He is one name in a long roll. Since Jan 1, 2022, Bay Ridge has recorded 15 people killed, 1,561 injured, and 2,627 crashes. City data.
This Week
- Oct 27, 85th Street and 3rd Avenue: a driver turning left hit a cyclist; the rider suffered a head injury, police say. Record.
- Oct 20, 92nd Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway: a driver making a left hit a person in the crosswalk who was “crossing with signal,” per police. Record.
- Oct 10, Narrows Avenue at 81st Street: a 16‑year‑old girl walking on the sidewalk was struck amid a multi‑vehicle mess; she suffered crush injuries. Record.
The pattern does not let up
This year in Bay Ridge, crashes are down slightly from last year’s pace (553 vs 565), deaths are lower (1 vs 5), and injuries are higher (421 vs 345). City data.
Police list “failure to yield” and “driver inattention/distraction” again and again in local files. Left turns show up in the case notes. So do evening hours. Deaths appear at 7 AM and stack up again between 6 and 10 PM. Dataset.
Corners that keep breaking people
Shore Road has the worst toll among local spots, with deaths and serious injuries recorded there. So do 7th Avenue and 4th Avenue. These are the places that keep bleeding. Dataset.
On 3rd Avenue alone, two people on bikes were hit within an hour on Oct 27. One at 85th. One at 93rd. Both involved turning drivers. Police records.
What can be fixed now
Start where the bodies fall. Daylight corners on 3rd, 4th, and Shore so turning drivers can see people in the crosswalk. Give pedestrians a head start at signals and harden the turns. Mark and protect bike space on 3rd Avenue where the crashes cluster. Target enforcement at the 6–10 PM band and at 7 AM along these corridors. All of this matches what the files show: left turns, failure to yield, distraction, evening hours. City data.
City Hall and Albany hold the keys
Council Member Justin L. Brannan has pushed a blanket rule to put stop signs or signals at “all crosswalks.” “The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them,” Streetsblog reported when he introduced Int 1394‑2025. Coverage.
State Senator Andrew Gounardes is on record backing the Stop Super Speeders bill. Timeline. He also supported renewing the city’s speed‑camera program. Timeline. Assembly Member Alec Brook‑Krasny opposed that renewal. Timeline.
There is a cleaner lever the city can pull: lower speeds. Our city already has the authority. Use it. And Albany can stop repeat offenders with intelligent speed limiters for the worst plates. See how to press both fights here.
The ask
People walking and biking in Bay Ridge are paying for our delay. The fixes named above are routine. The policy levers exist. Call it what it is: a choice. Act now. Take action.

Brannan Backs Misguided Crosswalk Signalization Mandate▸Sep 25 - Int 1394 orders a stop sign or signal at every crosswalk by Jan 1, 2027. It shifts responsibility onto drivers and cuts ambiguity at uncontrolled crossings. Likely boosts yielding and protects pedestrians and cyclists. Analysts warn over‑signaling or poor timing could add delay and turning conflicts.
"A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks" -- Justin L. Brannan
Int. No. 1394 (File Int 1394-2025) was introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and reached the Council vote stage on 2025-09-25 after referral from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027. Safety analysts say the law "shifts responsibility onto drivers and reduces ambiguity at currently uncontrolled intersections, likely improving yielding and pedestrian/cyclist safety citywide," while warning that "over-signalization or poor timing could increase pedestrian delay and turning conflicts."

Int. 1394 (File No. Int 1394-2025) is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks", was introduced 09/04/2025 and would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than January 1, 2027. Council Member Justin L. Brannan is listed as sponsor. The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Backs Misguided Stop Sign Mandate for Crosswalks▸Sep 25 - Int 1394 orders a stop sign or traffic signal at every crosswalk by Jan 1, 2027. It aims to slow drivers and force yielding. Pedestrians and cyclists stand to gain. Risks: non-compliance and delay if over‑installed or poorly signalized.
"No later than January 1, 2027, the commissioner shall install a stop sign or a traffic control signal at all crosswalks." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: Int 1394 (Int 1394-2025). Status: Council vote stage after referral to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter reads: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." Sponsored by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and brought to the City Council on Sept. 25, 2025. The measure would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than Jan. 1, 2027 and takes effect immediately.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

"A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks" -- Justin L. Brannan
Int. No. 1394 (File Int 1394-2025) was introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and reached the Council vote stage on 2025-09-25 after referral from the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

The matter is titled: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." The bill would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks by January 1, 2027. Safety analysts say the law "shifts responsibility onto drivers and reduces ambiguity at currently uncontrolled intersections, likely improving yielding and pedestrian/cyclist safety citywide," while warning that "over-signalization or poor timing could increase pedestrian delay and turning conflicts."

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

"No later than January 1, 2027, the commissioner shall install a stop sign or a traffic control signal at all crosswalks." -- Justin L. Brannan
Int. 1394 (File No. Int 1394-2025) is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks", was introduced 09/04/2025 and would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than January 1, 2027. Council Member Justin L. Brannan is listed as sponsor. The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.

Bill: Int 1394 (Int 1394-2025). Status: Council vote stage after referral to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter reads: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." Sponsored by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and brought to the City Council on Sept. 25, 2025. The measure would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than Jan. 1, 2027 and takes effect immediately. Safety analysts say it would broadly slow drivers and increase yielding, reducing crash risk for pedestrians and cyclists, but warn of non-compliance and added delay if over-installed or imprudently signalized; outcomes depend on design details and traffic-calming.

Bill: Int 1394 (Int 1394-2025). Status: Council vote stage after referral to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter reads: "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks." Sponsored by Council Member Justin L. Brannan and brought to the City Council on Sept. 25, 2025. The measure would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than Jan. 1, 2027 and takes effect immediately. Safety analysts say it would broadly slow drivers and increase yielding, reducing crash risk for pedestrians and cyclists, but warn of non-compliance and added delay if over-installed or imprudently signalized; outcomes depend on design details and traffic-calming.

Brannan co-sponsors requiring stop signs or signals at all crosswalks, improving safety.▸Sep 25 - Requires a stop sign or traffic signal at every crosswalk by Jan. 1, 2027. Aims to slow cars and make pedestrian priority clear. Likely reduces crash risk for people walking and biking, though blanket installs could bring compliance, delay, and over‑enforcement issues.
Int. 1394 (File No. Int 1394-2025) is at SPONSORSHIP in the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. The matter, titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to installing stop signs or traffic control signals at all crosswalks", was introduced 09/04/2025 and would require the commissioner to install a stop sign or traffic control signal at all crosswalks no later than January 1, 2027. Council Member Justin L. Brannan is listed as sponsor. The safety assessment says the mandate will generally lower vehicle speeds and clarify pedestrian priority, reducing crash risk for people walking and biking, while warning that blanket installation may raise compliance, delay, and potential over‑enforcement concerns.

Brannan Proposes Citywide Stop Or Red Light Mandate▸Sep 25 - Justin Brannan's bill would force stop signs or red lights at every uncontrolled intersection. It aims to slow drivers and protect people walking and biking. Blanket mandates could spur poor compliance, longer waits, turning conflicts, and divert funds from targeted fixes.
"The city would be forced to put traffic signals or stops signs at the thousands of intersections without them, whether or not they have painted crosswalks, under a bill that will be introduced on Thursday by Bay Ridge Council Member Justin Brannan." -- Justin L. Brannan
Bill: not yet assigned. Status: to be introduced on September 25, 2025. Committee: not yet assigned. The matter titled "Sign of the Crimes: Bill Would Require 'Stop' or Red Light at All Intersections" will be introduced by Council Member Justin L. Brannan, who backs citywide placement of stop signs or signals. The proposal "would force traffic signals or stop signs at the thousands of intersections without them." Safety analysts note mandating stops or signals everywhere could slow drivers and clarify pedestrian right-of-way, but blanket deployment risks poor compliance, longer pedestrian delays and turning conflicts, and diverts funds from targeted traffic-calming; net system-wide gains are uncertain.
