Sunset Park (East)-Borough Park (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
The streets do not forgive. Since 2022, one person has died and 237 have been injured in traffic crashes in Sunset Park (East)-Borough Park (West). No one is spared: children, elders, workers, neighbors. In the last year alone, 63 people were hurt—none killed, but pain is not measured only in funerals. A 16-year-old girl, crossing with the light, was struck by a sedan. A 66-year-old man, walking with the signal, was hit by a turning car. The numbers do not flinch: most injuries come from cars and SUVs. The wounds are real. The silence is not safety.
The Human Cost
On July 2, a 27-year-old man was hit by a bus while crossing at 9th Avenue and 39th Street. He left with torn skin and shock, crossing with the signal. On May 2, a teenage girl was bruised by a sedan while walking with the right of way. The driver failed to yield. The street did not care. “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter,” said Ruiz’s sister-in-law. The grief does not fade. The tire marks remain.
Leadership: Action and Inaction
Local leaders have taken steps, but the pace is slow. Assembly Member Marcela Mitaynes has co-sponsored bills to hold reckless drivers accountable and to daylight intersections with real barriers, not just paint. Council Member Alexa Avilés backs a ban on parking near crosswalks. But the carnage continues. Votes against speed cameras and safer school zones by others—like Assembly Member Lester Chang—leave the most vulnerable exposed. The city has the power to lower speed limits and redesign streets. The question is not what can be done, but why it is not done faster.
The Next Step Is Yours
Every crash is preventable. Every injury is a failure of will. Call your council member. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand real daylighting. Demand that every child, every elder, every neighbor can cross the street and come home. The blood on the asphalt is not an act of God. It is a choice. Make them choose safety.
