Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in East Flatbush-Rugby?

Deadly Silence on Flatbush Streets: Demand Action Now
East Flatbush-Rugby: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 19, 2025
The Toll: Broken Bodies, Lost Lives
In East Flatbush-Rugby, the street does not forgive. In the past twelve months, 2 people died and 7 suffered serious injuries in crashes. 342 were hurt. Most never make the news. The numbers are cold, but the pain is not. A man, age 30, killed at the intersection of Church Avenue and Kings Highway. A woman, age 79, struck and killed by a van while trying to board a vehicle. These are not distant tragedies. They happened here, on your block, on your way to work, outside your child’s school.
The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Young
Cars and SUVs did most of the damage—over 150 pedestrian injuries and 2 deaths. Trucks and buses killed one and hurt more. Motorcycles, mopeds, and bikes left their own scars. The young are not spared. Fourteen children under 18 were injured this year alone. The violence is steady, not sudden. It comes in the form of a sedan running a light, a distracted driver, a van with an unlicensed man behind the wheel.
Leadership: Votes, Silence, and Missed Chances
Local leaders have acted, but not enough. State Senator Kevin Parker voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed limiters. But others missed key votes. Assembly Member Monique Chandler-Waterman missed a committee vote on a bill to extend school speed zones. Senator Zellnor Myrie missed several safety votes, though he did ride the streets and say, “We should be making this as easy as possible and as safe as possible for as many people as possible.”
The city has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has not done so.
The Call: Demand More Than Words
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit, fix the crossings, and stop the next crash before it happens. Do not wait for another name on the list.

Myrie Supports Safety Boosting Universal Daylighting with Barriers▸Seven Brooklyn officials urge DOT to clear cars from corners. They want boulders, planters, and bike corrals—not just paint.

On January 17, 2024, seven Brooklyn elected officials—including Council Member Shahana Hanif, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Assembly Members Marcela Mitaynes, Jo Anne Simon, Robert Carroll, and State Senators Zellnor Myrie and Andrew Gounardes—issued a joint letter to the NYC Department of Transportation. They called for 'universal daylighting with hardened materials such as boulders, planters, and bike corrals' at intersections. The officials cited recent fatal crashes and urged the city to opt into a state law banning parking within 20 feet of corners. They want federal funds used for these changes. The group opposes DOT’s slow pace and reliance on paint, demanding physical barriers. Community board leaders and advocates support the move. DOT says it will review the letter and remains committed to evidence-based daylighting.

Myrie Supports Safety Boosting Universal Daylighting with Barriers▸Seven Brooklyn officials urge DOT to clear cars from corners. They want boulders, planters, and bike corrals—not just paint. Their call follows deadly crashes. They press the city to use state law and federal funds. DOT promises review. Advocates back the push.
On January 17, 2024, seven Brooklyn elected officials—including Council Member Shahana Hanif, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Assembly Members Marcela Mitaynes, Jo Anne Simon, Robert Carroll, and State Senators Zellnor Myrie and Andrew Gounardes—issued a joint letter to the NYC Department of Transportation. They called for 'universal daylighting with hardened materials such as boulders, planters, and bike corrals' at intersections. The officials cited recent fatal crashes and urged the city to opt into a state law banning parking within 20 feet of corners. They want federal funds used for these changes. The group opposes DOT’s slow pace and reliance on paint, demanding physical barriers. Community board leaders and advocates support the move. DOT says it will review the letter and remains committed to evidence-based daylighting.

Myrie Supports Safety Boosting Universal Daylighting with Barriers▸Seven Brooklyn officials urge DOT to clear cars from corners. They want boulders, planters, and bike corrals—not just paint. Their call follows deadly crashes. They press the city to use state law and federal funds. DOT promises review. Advocates back the push.
On January 17, 2024, seven Brooklyn elected officials—including Council Member Shahana Hanif, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Assembly Members Marcela Mitaynes, Jo Anne Simon, Robert Carroll, and State Senators Zellnor Myrie and Andrew Gounardes—issued a joint letter to the NYC Department of Transportation. They called for 'universal daylighting with hardened materials such as boulders, planters, and bike corrals' at intersections. The officials cited recent fatal crashes and urged the city to opt into a state law banning parking within 20 feet of corners. They want federal funds used for these changes. The group opposes DOT’s slow pace and reliance on paint, demanding physical barriers. Community board leaders and advocates support the move. DOT says it will review the letter and remains committed to evidence-based daylighting.

Seven Brooklyn officials urge DOT to clear cars from corners. They want boulders, planters, and bike corrals—not just paint. Their call follows deadly crashes. They press the city to use state law and federal funds. DOT promises review. Advocates back the push.
On January 17, 2024, seven Brooklyn elected officials—including Council Member Shahana Hanif, Borough President Antonio Reynoso, Assembly Members Marcela Mitaynes, Jo Anne Simon, Robert Carroll, and State Senators Zellnor Myrie and Andrew Gounardes—issued a joint letter to the NYC Department of Transportation. They called for 'universal daylighting with hardened materials such as boulders, planters, and bike corrals' at intersections. The officials cited recent fatal crashes and urged the city to opt into a state law banning parking within 20 feet of corners. They want federal funds used for these changes. The group opposes DOT’s slow pace and reliance on paint, demanding physical barriers. Community board leaders and advocates support the move. DOT says it will review the letter and remains committed to evidence-based daylighting.
