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.
