Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Brownsville?
Brownsville Bleeds—Leaders Stall. Demand Safe Streets Now.
Brownsville: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 18, 2025
The Toll in Brownsville
Five dead. Fifteen seriously hurt. That’s the count in Brownsville since 2022. The numbers do not flinch. They do not care about hope or habit. They only rise. In the past twelve months, four people lost their lives here. Three were between 25 and 34. One was over 65. Children are not spared: 37 injured in the last year alone.
Just last month, a cyclist was crushed at Newport Street and Rockaway Avenue. A 40-year-old man, hip and leg broken, pinned by a car. The week before, a child was hit on Herzl Street. The driver was distracted. The child bled on the pavement. Every week, another family waits in the ER.
The Machines That Kill
Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. Since 2022, they have killed one person and injured 169 more on Brownsville’s streets. Trucks and buses hit 14. Motorcycles and mopeds, two. Bikes, three. The numbers are plain. The pain is not.
What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done
Some leaders have moved. Council Member Darlene Mealy co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks. It could save lives, if enforced. State Senator Jabari Brisport voted yes to extend school speed zones. He also backed a bill to force repeat speeders to install limiters on their cars (File S 4045). But the streets are still not safe. The deaths keep coming.
Neighbors see it. After a hit-and-run killed two men in Brooklyn, a local said, “drivers speed on that stretch of roadway.” The city knows. The numbers do not lie.
The Call
This is not fate. This is policy. Every death is a choice made by those in power. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand speed cameras. Demand streets for people, not just cars.
Do not wait for another name on the list.
