East Flatbush-Erasmus: Four dead since 2022. One more hurt this month.
East Flatbush-Erasmus: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 16, 2025
On Oct 5, at Snyder Avenue and E 34 Street, a driver hit a man on a bike. Police recorded a serious injury and severe bleeding from the crash record (CrashID 4848596).
Since 2022, four people have been killed on the streets of East Flatbush‑Erasmus — two people walking and two riding bikes — with hundreds more injured, according to city data compiled for this area (2022–present) from NYC Open Data.
Where people keep getting hit
Police reports in this neighborhood often cite the driver’s failure to yield and inattention in crashes that injure people walking and biking, with unsafe speed also appearing in the records in the local analysis.
Harm clusters on familiar corridors. Church Avenue and Nostrand Avenue each show heavy injury counts in the dataset’s local rollups for this area.
Serious injuries peak around the evening hours in the neighborhood data, including a spike around 8 PM per the hourly breakdown.
A city that knows how to fix speed
The worst harm comes with speed. City and state leaders have moved some pieces. One state bill would force repeat speeders to install limiters that stop the car from going more than 5 mph over the limit; in June, State Senator Kevin Parker voted yes in committee on that measure, S 4045.
On the city side, the push is simple: slow the streets. As one Brooklyn lawmaker put it while riding local streets, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible” he told Streetsblog.
Concrete fixes on the blocks where it hurts
This neighborhood’s records point to left and right‑turn conflicts and crossing injuries. The tools are known:
- Daylight corners and add hardened turns to cut the turning speed and improve sight lines at Church, Nostrand, Rogers, and New York Avenue — the corridors with the heaviest toll in the local rollups in the data.
- Add leading pedestrian intervals and raised crosswalks where failure to yield keeps showing up in crash reports in the contributing‑factor data.
- Target evening enforcement and calming on Snyder, Lenox, and nearby corridors, matching the spike in serious injuries around 8 PM in the hourly data.
Hold power to the fire
The law to rein in repeat speeders is in Albany. Parker has voted yes in committee on S 4045. The City Council also has a live bill to speed up school‑zone safety work — Int 1353‑2025 — introduced by Farah Louis. Your local representatives here are Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, State Senator Kevin Parker, and Council Member Rita C. Joseph; the record above shows who’s moved and where the gaps remain.
One man on a bike went down at Snyder and E 34. The next one doesn’t have to. Ask City Hall to lower speeds and Albany to stop repeat speeders. Start here: /take_action/.
