Ocean Hill Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Ocean Hill: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 24, 2025
Broken Streets, Broken Bodies
No one died in Ocean Hill this year. But the blood still runs. In the last twelve months, 285 people were hurt in crashes here. Five were left with serious injuries. Children, elders, cyclists, men and women—none spared. The numbers are not just numbers. They are broken bones, torn skin, and lives that do not heal.
Just last week, a cyclist was left bleeding from the head at Somers Street and Broadway. A bus passed too close. The man was left incoherent, blood pooling on the pavement. He was forty. He survived. Not everyone does. NYC Open Data
The Usual Suspects
Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. In the past three years, they left 124 people hurt, three with serious injuries. Trucks and buses hit eight, one seriously. Motorcycles and mopeds struck six. Bikes, too, hurt four, one badly. No one is safe—not on foot, not on two wheels, not at any hour.
Leaders: Votes and Silence
Local leaders have taken some steps. State Senator Jabari Brisport voted yes to extend school speed zones and co-sponsored the bill to curb repeat speeders. Assembly Member Latrice Walker did the same. But the work is not done. Parking is still allowed up to the crosswalk in much of the district. Council Member Darlene Mealy co-sponsored a bill to ban it, but the law is not yet in force. see votes
Some leaders speak, but the streets stay the same. As one advocate said after another Brooklyn crash, “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again.”
The Call
This is not fate. Every injury is a failure. Every delay is a choice. Call your council member. Call your assembly member. Tell them: No more waiting. No more blood. Make Ocean Hill safe. Now.

Latrice Walker Opposes Car Culture Normalization Supports Safer Streets▸Jan 19 - A new study exposes how people shrug off the deadly risks of driving. Most accept crashes and pollution as normal. The same harms spark outrage elsewhere. This double standard leaves pedestrians and cyclists in the crosshairs. The culture shields drivers, not victims.
On January 19, 2023, researchers published a report in the Journal of Environment and Health, dissecting public attitudes toward driving dangers. The study, led by environmental psychologist Ian Walker, surveyed over 2,000 British adults. It found that 61 percent of respondents accepted driving risks as natural, while far fewer tolerated similar hazards at work or from smoking. The article, titled 'The Dangers of Driving Are Way More Normalized Than We Think,' highlights what Walker calls 'motonormativity'—a cultural blind spot that excuses harm from cars. Walker urges policy changes: 'Build a street where people can't speed... you won't have speeding.' The research shows that society’s deep-rooted car bias endangers vulnerable road users and blocks reforms that could save lives.

Latrice Walker Opposes Car Culture Normalization Supports Safer Streets▸Jan 19 - A new study exposes how people shrug off the deadly risks of driving. Most accept crashes and pollution as normal. The same harms spark outrage elsewhere. This double standard leaves pedestrians and cyclists in the crosshairs. The culture shields drivers, not victims.
On January 19, 2023, researchers published a report in the Journal of Environment and Health, dissecting public attitudes toward driving dangers. The study, led by environmental psychologist Ian Walker, surveyed over 2,000 British adults. It found that 61 percent of respondents accepted driving risks as natural, while far fewer tolerated similar hazards at work or from smoking. The article, titled 'The Dangers of Driving Are Way More Normalized Than We Think,' highlights what Walker calls 'motonormativity'—a cultural blind spot that excuses harm from cars. Walker urges policy changes: 'Build a street where people can't speed... you won't have speeding.' The research shows that society’s deep-rooted car bias endangers vulnerable road users and blocks reforms that could save lives.

Jan 19 - A new study exposes how people shrug off the deadly risks of driving. Most accept crashes and pollution as normal. The same harms spark outrage elsewhere. This double standard leaves pedestrians and cyclists in the crosshairs. The culture shields drivers, not victims.
On January 19, 2023, researchers published a report in the Journal of Environment and Health, dissecting public attitudes toward driving dangers. The study, led by environmental psychologist Ian Walker, surveyed over 2,000 British adults. It found that 61 percent of respondents accepted driving risks as natural, while far fewer tolerated similar hazards at work or from smoking. The article, titled 'The Dangers of Driving Are Way More Normalized Than We Think,' highlights what Walker calls 'motonormativity'—a cultural blind spot that excuses harm from cars. Walker urges policy changes: 'Build a street where people can't speed... you won't have speeding.' The research shows that society’s deep-rooted car bias endangers vulnerable road users and blocks reforms that could save lives.
