Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Flatbush?
Flatbush Bleeds While City Hall Waits
Flatbush: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Flatbush: Lives Shattered, Numbers Rising
A mother and her son, walking near Bedford Avenue, hear a bus jump the curb. Metal tears through fence and flesh. The boy is eight. His mother is forty-three. Both survive, but the scars will last. “Thank God they were conscious. She was able to speak to me. The little boy was pretty much in shock,” said a school employee who saw the aftermath.
In the last twelve months, Flatbush saw 388 crashes, 292 injuries, and 2 people seriously hurt. No deaths this year—yet. But the numbers do not rest. Four people have died since 2022. Over a thousand have been injured. Trucks, buses, SUVs, sedans—they all take their share. Pedestrians, cyclists, children—they pay the price.
Leadership: Words, Delays, and the Weight of Inaction
After the school bus crash, Councilmember Farrah Louis acknowledged the need for more traffic safety in this area. The words hang in the air. Promises are easy. Change is slow. Sammy’s Law now lets the city lower speed limits to 20 mph. The power is there. The clock ticks. The council can act. The mayor can act. They have not.
What’s Been Done—and What Hasn’t
Speed cameras work. Where installed, speeding drops. But the law that keeps them running is always on the edge of expiring. Protected bike lanes and safer intersections come in fits and starts. Each delay means another family waits at the hospital.
The Next Step: Demand Action Now
Flatbush does not need more studies. It needs leaders to use the tools they have. 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 people, not just cars. Take action now.

Political heavyweights and business donors rallied against lane cuts and bike lanes. Protesters for safer streets were barred. DOT defended the plan. Council Member Restler and activists stood firm.
On June 16, 2023, a contentious town hall convened over the city’s proposed safety redesign for McGuinness Boulevard. The meeting, billed as an 'awareness town hall,' was dominated by opponents, including Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte-Hermelyn and business leaders like Tony Argento of Broadway Stages. Bichotte-Hermelyn, whose district is far from the site, admitted limited knowledge of the plan but cited business concerns. The session excluded supporters of the redesign, who rallied outside. The Department of Transportation defended its proposal to reduce lanes and add parking-protected bike lanes, citing proven safety benefits. Council Member Lincoln Restler and activists later rallied for the overhaul, insisting that safety for all road users must not be compromised. The event highlighted deep divisions and the influence of business interests over street safety reforms.
