CloseBlood on Neptune Avenue: How Many More Must Die Before Leaders Act?
Coney Island-Sea Gate: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025
The Toll in Blood and Bone
Two dead. Five seriously hurt. In Coney Island-Sea Gate, the numbers do not tell the whole story, but they do not lie. Since 2022, cars and trucks have struck down children, elders, and cyclists. A child is dead. An elder is dead. The living carry wounds that do not heal. In the last year alone, 218 people were injured here. Three were hurt so badly they may never walk the same.
On June 22, a 26-year-old cyclist was hit by an SUV at Stillwell and Neptune. He left the scene with his head bleeding, the road marked with his pain. On May 7, an 88-year-old man was struck by a taxi while crossing at W 5th Street. He survived, but not without shock and blood loss. The driver was making a U-turn. The old man was crossing. The street did not forgive either of them. NYC Open Data
The Voices Left Behind
“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 pain does not end with the crash. It spreads. It lingers. It hollows out families.
“She was a nice and kind girl, always smiling. They went out to take her nephews to eat and play at Dave & Busters.” said Griselda Caraballo. The last outing. The last smile. The last time.
Leadership: Action and Inaction
Council Member Justin Brannan has co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, a move to clear sightlines and protect those on foot. The bill sits in committee. The city has daylighted more intersections, but not enough. Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny voted against renewing the speed camera program for school zones. Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton did the same. Cameras save lives. Their votes do not.
The streets are not safe. The policies are not enough.
What Comes Next
Call your council member. Call your state senator. Demand a citywide 20 mph speed limit. Demand real enforcement against reckless drivers. Demand that every crosswalk is clear, every school zone protected.
Do not wait for another family to lose their only daughter. Act now.
