Utica, Church, Linden: a body count and a clock
East Flatbush-Rugby: Jan 1, 2022 - Aug 26, 2025
East Flatbush bleeds at the corners. Names on the map. Bodies in the street.
Church Avenue takes people and keeps going
A 30‑year‑old man died at Church Avenue and Kings Hwy at 7:09 p.m. on Jan. 25, 2025. The records say the car was a sedan, “going straight,” and the cause included “Unsafe Speed.” The pedestrian was “Crossing Against Signal.” He died at the scene. That’s all the city will allow you to know (NYC Open Data crash 4788144).
On July 17, 2025, at Church Avenue and E 55th St, a 36‑year‑old man was killed. The vehicle was a Ford SUV. The sheet lists “Alcohol Involvement.” It also lists “Crossing Against Signal.” One person is gone. The SUV drove away on four tires (crash 4828979).
In November 2022, an older woman was struck on Church Avenue while “Getting On/Off Vehicle Other Than School Bus.” The driver was unlicensed. She died. The van’s front end tells the rest (crash 4579422).
Utica and Linden: injuries pile up
Utica Avenue racks up injuries — 71 people hurt since 2022, with three serious injuries logged. Linden Boulevard shows 72 injuries and three serious injuries. These are the top local hot spots (top intersections). On Aug. 14, 2025, a 61‑year‑old woman was struck at Utica and Lenox. The sedan hit her while “Going Straight Ahead.” The report says “Severe Bleeding,” “Semiconscious.” No more words for that (crash 4835070).
A day later, near Albany Ave, another pedestrian was listed as “Unconscious,” legs crushed, after a crash involving an Infiniti sedan and a parked Chevy SUV (crash 4837211).
Night falls, the numbers rise
Across East Flatbush‑Rugby, the worst hour is 7 p.m. Nineteen hundred hours. Three deaths and 67 injuries stack there. Late night hurts too: 9 p.m. shows four serious injuries; 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. add more hurt (hourly distribution).
Pedestrians bear it. Since 2022, four pedestrians are dead, 176 injured. Cars and SUVs are the main striking vehicles, listed in the city roll‑up. Trucks and buses injure fewer people here but still kill (mode split and vehicle rollup).
What drives the harm
The city’s ledger calls out “other” factors most often. It also flags inattention, failure to yield, and unsafe speed. Alcohol appears too. The words are dry. The outcomes aren’t (contributing factors).
The fixes we can put down now
Start where people are dying and getting hurt:
- Daylight the corners on Utica Avenue and Linden Boulevard. Pull parking back. Clear sightlines.
- Add leading pedestrian intervals and hardened turns at Church Avenue and Kings Hwy; extend them down Church’s long run.
- Work the night hours. Targeted enforcement and temporary calming where the clock shows the worst: 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. (hourly distribution).
City Hall and Albany hold the keys
The Council has bills moving. One would force DOT to install school‑adjacent traffic devices within 60 days of a study finding the need. Farah N. Louis co‑sponsors it (Int 1353‑2025). Another, co‑sponsored by Louis, pushes a crackdown on unlicensed commuter vans, ordering maximum penalties when stopped (Int 1347‑2025).
In Albany, Senator Kevin Parker voted yes in committee on a bill to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators. The bill targets drivers with stacks of points or camera tickets. Committee votes advanced it on June 11 and 12, 2025 (S 4045).
Lower speeds citywide. Stop repeat speeders. These two moves cut deep and fast. The city already has the tools. Use them. Call it what it is: a choice. See our guide and make the calls (/take_action/).

Myrie Condemns Adams for Neglecting Safety Boosting Bus Lanes▸Aug 5 - Mayor Adams’s DOT has proposed just seven miles of new bus lanes for 2024. The law requires thirty. Riders wait. Buses crawl. Advocates rage. The city drags its feet. Streets stay dangerous. The promise of safer, faster transit goes unmet.
""It s unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability with the tools he has at his control,"" -- Zellnor Myrie
On August 5, 2024, the Department of Transportation revealed it has proposed only seven miles of bus priority lanes for the year—less than a quarter of the thirty miles required annually by the Streets Master Plan law. This marks the lowest bus lane mileage since 2018. The matter, titled 'Adams Has Proposed Just 7 Miles of Bus Lanes This Year — Less Than 1/4 of Requirement,' has drawn sharp criticism. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie called it 'unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability.' Scott Stringer accused the administration of using 'community engagement as an excuse to not get things done.' Brad Lander pledged to push for more dedicated bus lanes. Riders like Alex Gean described daily gridlock. The DOT claims more lanes are coming, but offers no details. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, pedestrians—remain at risk as the city fails to meet its own safety and mobility targets.

Myrie Condemns Adams for Neglecting Safety Boosting Bus Lanes▸Aug 5 - Mayor Adams’s DOT has proposed just seven miles of new bus lanes for 2024. The law requires thirty. Riders wait. Buses crawl. Advocates rage. The city drags its feet. Streets stay dangerous. The promise of safer, faster transit goes unmet.
""It s unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability with the tools he has at his control,"" -- Zellnor Myrie
On August 5, 2024, the Department of Transportation revealed it has proposed only seven miles of bus priority lanes for the year—less than a quarter of the thirty miles required annually by the Streets Master Plan law. This marks the lowest bus lane mileage since 2018. The matter, titled 'Adams Has Proposed Just 7 Miles of Bus Lanes This Year — Less Than 1/4 of Requirement,' has drawn sharp criticism. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie called it 'unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability.' Scott Stringer accused the administration of using 'community engagement as an excuse to not get things done.' Brad Lander pledged to push for more dedicated bus lanes. Riders like Alex Gean described daily gridlock. The DOT claims more lanes are coming, but offers no details. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, pedestrians—remain at risk as the city fails to meet its own safety and mobility targets.

Myrie Condemns Adams for Neglecting Safety Boosting Bus Lanes▸Aug 5 - Mayor Adams’s DOT has proposed just seven miles of new bus lanes for 2024. The law requires thirty. Riders wait. Buses crawl. Advocates rage. The city drags its feet. Streets stay dangerous. The promise of safer, faster transit goes unmet.
""It s unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability with the tools he has at his control,"" -- Zellnor Myrie
On August 5, 2024, the Department of Transportation revealed it has proposed only seven miles of bus priority lanes for the year—less than a quarter of the thirty miles required annually by the Streets Master Plan law. This marks the lowest bus lane mileage since 2018. The matter, titled 'Adams Has Proposed Just 7 Miles of Bus Lanes This Year — Less Than 1/4 of Requirement,' has drawn sharp criticism. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie called it 'unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability.' Scott Stringer accused the administration of using 'community engagement as an excuse to not get things done.' Brad Lander pledged to push for more dedicated bus lanes. Riders like Alex Gean described daily gridlock. The DOT claims more lanes are coming, but offers no details. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, pedestrians—remain at risk as the city fails to meet its own safety and mobility targets.

Aug 5 - Mayor Adams’s DOT has proposed just seven miles of new bus lanes for 2024. The law requires thirty. Riders wait. Buses crawl. Advocates rage. The city drags its feet. Streets stay dangerous. The promise of safer, faster transit goes unmet.
""It s unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability with the tools he has at his control,"" -- Zellnor Myrie
On August 5, 2024, the Department of Transportation revealed it has proposed only seven miles of bus priority lanes for the year—less than a quarter of the thirty miles required annually by the Streets Master Plan law. This marks the lowest bus lane mileage since 2018. The matter, titled 'Adams Has Proposed Just 7 Miles of Bus Lanes This Year — Less Than 1/4 of Requirement,' has drawn sharp criticism. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie called it 'unacceptable that Mayor Adams has not prioritized improving bus speeds, service, and reliability.' Scott Stringer accused the administration of using 'community engagement as an excuse to not get things done.' Brad Lander pledged to push for more dedicated bus lanes. Riders like Alex Gean described daily gridlock. The DOT claims more lanes are coming, but offers no details. Vulnerable road users—bus riders, pedestrians—remain at risk as the city fails to meet its own safety and mobility targets.
