Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in East Flatbush-Farragut?
East Flatbush Bleeds While City Stalls—Demand Action Now
East Flatbush-Farragut: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Don’t Lie
One death. Nine left with serious injuries. In East Flatbush-Farragut, from January 2022 to June 2025, the street keeps taking. In the last year alone, 255 crashes. 183 people hurt. Four with injuries so grave they may never walk the same. Not one month without pain. Not one week without sirens. Crash data
Who Pays the Price?
Pedestrians and cyclists bleed first. A 74-year-old woman, crossing with the light, struck and killed by a sedan making a left on Avenue D. A 50-year-old woman, crossing with the signal, hit by a truck on Clarendon Road. A 61-year-old man, thrown from his bike, left bleeding in the street. The list goes on. The young, the old, the ones just trying to get home. Recent crashes
The killers are not ghosts. Cars, trucks, SUVs, mopeds. The numbers show it: cars and SUVs caused the only death and most injuries. Trucks and mopeds left others broken. Bikes did not kill anyone here. Vehicle breakdown
What Has Been Done?
The city talks of Vision Zero. They count the dead. They promise lower speed limits and more cameras. But in East Flatbush-Farragut, the blood keeps coming. The council and state passed Sammy’s Law, giving the city power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. But the limit here is still higher. The cameras could go dark if Albany stalls. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Promises pile up. The bodies do too.
What Comes Next?
This is not fate. It is failure. Every crash is a choice. Every delay is a wound. The city can lower the speed limit now. The council can demand more cameras, more street redesigns, more protection for the ones on foot and bike. But they will not move unless you make them.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand action. Take action now.

Senate passed S 7785. The bill carves out large Mitchell-Lama housing from bus traffic rules. Lawmakers voted yes. The carve-out weakens enforcement. Streets grow less safe for people on foot and bike.
Bill S 7785, titled 'Relates to bus operation-related traffic regulations,' passed the Senate and Assembly in June 2025. The measure, sponsored by Senator Jamaal Bailey, excludes violations in cooperative housing developments with at least 10,000 Mitchell-Lama units from bus operation traffic regulations. The bill advanced through committee and received broad support in both chambers. By exempting these large complexes, the law weakens traffic enforcement where thousands live. This move increases risk to pedestrians and cyclists, stripping away protections that save lives. Vulnerable road users lose another layer of safety in dense city streets.
