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 Praises Safety Boosting Prospect Park Road Redesign▸Prospect Park’s East Drive gets a full overhaul. Fresh pavement replaces potholes. Cyclists and pedestrians gain wider, dedicated lanes. Cars lose ground. Officials call it a pilot for city parks. If it works, Central Park could be next.
On March 8, 2023, city officials announced a major redesign of Prospect Park’s East Drive. The project, not tied to a specific council bill, begins March 12 and is billed as an 18-month pilot. The main loop’s eastern stretch will be repaved and repainted, giving cyclists a 16-to-18-foot shared lane with authorized vehicles, flanked by two pedestrian lanes up to 14 feet wide. The city rejected a two-bike-lane alternative, citing pedestrian access needs. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie praised the upgrade, calling Prospect Park a treasure. Chief Public Realm Officer Ya-Ting Liu said, 'Re-examining how we design the roads in our park system is a perfect example of how we’re advancing the Mayor’s vision for quality public spaces throughout the city.' Officials stress the park is closed to private vehicles. The redesign aims to set a new standard for park safety and access across New York.

Myrie Praises Safety Boosting Prospect Park Road Redesign▸Prospect Park’s East Drive gets a full overhaul. Fresh pavement replaces potholes. Cyclists and pedestrians gain wider, dedicated lanes. Cars lose ground. Officials call it a pilot for city parks. If it works, Central Park could be next.
On March 8, 2023, city officials announced a major redesign of Prospect Park’s East Drive. The project, not tied to a specific council bill, begins March 12 and is billed as an 18-month pilot. The main loop’s eastern stretch will be repaved and repainted, giving cyclists a 16-to-18-foot shared lane with authorized vehicles, flanked by two pedestrian lanes up to 14 feet wide. The city rejected a two-bike-lane alternative, citing pedestrian access needs. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie praised the upgrade, calling Prospect Park a treasure. Chief Public Realm Officer Ya-Ting Liu said, 'Re-examining how we design the roads in our park system is a perfect example of how we’re advancing the Mayor’s vision for quality public spaces throughout the city.' Officials stress the park is closed to private vehicles. The redesign aims to set a new standard for park safety and access across New York.
