Sunset Park Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Sunset Park (East)-Borough Park (West): Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 6, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
One death. Two hundred thirty injuries. Four hundred eighty-eight crashes. That is the toll in Sunset Park (East)-Borough Park (West) since 2022. The numbers do not soften. They do not blink. They do not care if you are young or old. In the last twelve months, sixty-six people were hurt on these streets. Not one was spared a serious injury. But pain does not need a label to be real.
Children walk to school. Elders cross with the light. Still, the cars come. Sedans and SUVs led the charge, injuring dozens of pedestrians. Trucks, bikes, mopeds—they all played their part. The only thing that changes is the name in the report.
The Faces Behind the Numbers
A 16-year-old crossing with the signal, struck by a sedan. A 66-year-old man, hit in the head while crossing at the light. A 35-year-old cyclist, killed by a garbage truck. The stories repeat. The pain does not fade. See the latest crash data.
Leadership: Action or Delay?
Local leaders have the power to slow the carnage. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can set safer speed limits now. But the clock ticks. Each day without action is another day of risk. Speed cameras save lives, but their future hangs on a vote.
No new laws. No bold redesigns. No public reckoning. The silence is loud. The streets stay the same.
What Comes Next
This is not fate. This is policy. Residents and advocates must demand more. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them: Lower the speed. Protect the cameras. Redesign the streets.
Do not wait for another name to be added to the list. Take action now.
