Brighton Beach’s Toll
Since Jan 1, 2022, this neighborhood has recorded 834 crashes, with 401 people injured and 2 killed. One was a bicyclist; one was a pedestrian. NYC Open Data
So far this year, there have been 177 crashes here, with 122 injuries and 0 deaths. That’s more crashes and many more injuries than the same period last year, which saw 167 crashes, 67 injuries, and 1 death. NYC Open Data

Where the Street Fights Back
The harm concentrates on a few blocks. Neptune Avenue leads the list of injuries and deaths. Brighton Beach Avenue is close behind. NYC Open Data
Injuries stack up late in the day, with the biggest spike around 5 PM. The named causes that appear again and again: driver inattention and failure to yield. NYC Open Data
What Leaders Did — And Didn’t
Council Member Inna Vernikov backed DOT’s move against universal daylighting, siding with opponents of a basic visibility fix at corners. Streetsblog NYC
In Albany, Assembly Member Alec Brook‑Krasny voted no on a bill to extend and correct school‑zone speed rules (S 8344). State Sen. Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton also voted no on that measure. Open States • Streetsblog NYC
One tool to stop repeat high‑risk drivers advanced in the Senate: the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) cleared a committee with a yes vote from Sen. Scarcella‑Spanton. It targets motorists who rack up violations with intelligent speed assistance. Streetsblog NYC
Fix the Corners. Slow the Cars.
This map tells us what to do. At Neptune Ave and Brighton Beach Ave, protect crossings and sightlines: daylight the corners, add leading pedestrian intervals, and harden turns. On Coney Island Ave, calm speeds and prioritize yielding at side streets like Brightwater Ct. Focus enforcement where injuries peak in late afternoon. NYC Open Data
Citywide, the path is clear. Lower the default speed limit and pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to rein in the worst repeat offenders. Here, that means asking Brook‑Krasny, Scarcella‑Spanton, and Vernikov to back proven tools instead of blocking them. Then count the bodies again.
One corner. One hour. One life. Start there. Then act.
