Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Coney Island-Sea Gate?
Coney Island Bleeds—City Stalls
Coney Island-Sea Gate: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
In Coney Island-Sea Gate, the road keeps taking. Since 2022, two people are dead. Three more are left with serious injuries. One child did not make it home. In the last year alone, 187 people were hurt in 373 crashes. One was killed. The numbers are not just numbers. They are broken bodies, empty chairs, and families who will never be whole again. See the crash data.
Who Pays the Price
Pedestrians and children pay first. In the last twelve months, 18 people under 18 were hurt. One died. Cars and SUVs did most of the damage. Trucks and buses added to the toll. No one on a bike died, but that is luck, not safety. The street does not forgive. Review the collision records.
Leadership: Action or Excuse?
The city talks about Vision Zero. They say every life matters. They point to new laws, like Sammy’s Law, that let the city lower speed limits. But in Coney Island-Sea Gate, the blood dries faster than the promises. Speed still kills. The council can lower the limit to 20 mph. They have not. Cameras that catch speeders are at risk of going dark unless Albany acts. The silence is loud. The clock ticks. Take action now.
The Next Step Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. It is choice. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit. Tell them to keep the cameras on. Tell them to build streets that protect the child, not the car. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

Brannan Supports Misguided Bill Equalizing SUV Parking Fees▸Council Member Brannan pushes a bill to ban higher parking rates for SUVs. Critics warn it props up dangerous vehicles. The bill covers all light-duty cars under 8,500 pounds. Debate rages as advocates call for clarity and safety.
On February 14, 2022, Council Member Justin Brannan introduced a bill to the New York City Council. The bill would require commercial parking garages to charge the same rate for all light-duty vehicles under 8,500 pounds, including sedans, vans, SUVs, and pickups. Brannan claims the measure fights arbitrary price-gouging, saying, 'The idea is to make it fair for people who choose to drive.' Critics, like StreetsPAC's Eric McClure, argue the bill subsidizes SUV use and endangers city streets, stating, 'We shouldn’t be bending over backwards to further subsidize someone’s choice to drive an SUV or pickup truck in New York City.' Brannan admits the bill needs revision. The bill’s status and committee assignment remain unclear. No formal safety analysis was provided.

Brannan Supports Misguided Bill Equalizing SUV Parking Fees▸Council Member Brannan pushes a bill to ban higher parking rates for SUVs. Critics warn it props up dangerous vehicles. The bill covers all light-duty cars under 8,500 pounds. Debate rages as advocates call for clarity and safety.
On February 14, 2022, Council Member Justin Brannan introduced a bill to the New York City Council. The bill would require commercial parking garages to charge the same rate for all light-duty vehicles under 8,500 pounds, including sedans, vans, SUVs, and pickups. Brannan claims the measure fights arbitrary price-gouging, saying, 'The idea is to make it fair for people who choose to drive.' Critics, like StreetsPAC's Eric McClure, argue the bill subsidizes SUV use and endangers city streets, stating, 'We shouldn’t be bending over backwards to further subsidize someone’s choice to drive an SUV or pickup truck in New York City.' Brannan admits the bill needs revision. The bill’s status and committee assignment remain unclear. No formal safety analysis was provided.

Council Member Brannan pushes a bill to ban higher parking rates for SUVs. Critics warn it props up dangerous vehicles. The bill covers all light-duty cars under 8,500 pounds. Debate rages as advocates call for clarity and safety.
On February 14, 2022, Council Member Justin Brannan introduced a bill to the New York City Council. The bill would require commercial parking garages to charge the same rate for all light-duty vehicles under 8,500 pounds, including sedans, vans, SUVs, and pickups. Brannan claims the measure fights arbitrary price-gouging, saying, 'The idea is to make it fair for people who choose to drive.' Critics, like StreetsPAC's Eric McClure, argue the bill subsidizes SUV use and endangers city streets, stating, 'We shouldn’t be bending over backwards to further subsidize someone’s choice to drive an SUV or pickup truck in New York City.' Brannan admits the bill needs revision. The bill’s status and committee assignment remain unclear. No formal safety analysis was provided.
