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.

Kevin Parker Supports NYPD Residency Requirement for Accountability▸Senator Kevin Parker pushes Senate Bill S2984 to require NYPD officers to live in the city. He says outsiders patrol like an occupying force. Research shows residency means faster response, better trust, and fewer abuses. Mayor Adams backs the idea.
"we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962. To this end, I introduced Senate bill S2984, which would reinstate the requirement for all future NYPD officers." -- Kevin Parker
Senate Bill S2984, introduced by State Senator Kevin Parker, would reinstate a residency requirement for all future NYPD officers. The bill is currently a legislative proposal. Parker argues, 'we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962.' He highlights that over half of NYPD officers now live outside the city, undermining trust and accountability. Parker’s record includes laws on police misconduct, body cameras, and transparency. He cites a 2021 DePaul University study showing residency brings faster response times, better complaint handling, more diversity, and stronger community ties. Mayor Adams called the proposal 'a smart idea.' Parker urges Albany to act, stressing that most city civil servants already live in the five boroughs. He pledges to work on affordable housing for officers. The bill stands as one tool among many in Parker’s police reform agenda.

Kevin Parker Supports NYPD Residency Requirement for Accountability▸Senator Kevin Parker pushes Senate Bill S2984 to require NYPD officers to live in the city. He says outsiders patrol like an occupying force. Research shows residency means faster response, better trust, and fewer abuses. Mayor Adams backs the idea.
"we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962. To this end, I introduced Senate bill S2984, which would reinstate the requirement for all future NYPD officers." -- Kevin Parker
Senate Bill S2984, introduced by State Senator Kevin Parker, would reinstate a residency requirement for all future NYPD officers. The bill is currently a legislative proposal. Parker argues, 'we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962.' He highlights that over half of NYPD officers now live outside the city, undermining trust and accountability. Parker’s record includes laws on police misconduct, body cameras, and transparency. He cites a 2021 DePaul University study showing residency brings faster response times, better complaint handling, more diversity, and stronger community ties. Mayor Adams called the proposal 'a smart idea.' Parker urges Albany to act, stressing that most city civil servants already live in the five boroughs. He pledges to work on affordable housing for officers. The bill stands as one tool among many in Parker’s police reform agenda.

Senator Kevin Parker pushes Senate Bill S2984 to require NYPD officers to live in the city. He says outsiders patrol like an occupying force. Research shows residency means faster response, better trust, and fewer abuses. Mayor Adams backs the idea.
"we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962. To this end, I introduced Senate bill S2984, which would reinstate the requirement for all future NYPD officers." -- Kevin Parker
Senate Bill S2984, introduced by State Senator Kevin Parker, would reinstate a residency requirement for all future NYPD officers. The bill is currently a legislative proposal. Parker argues, 'we need an NYPD residency requirement, which the force had until 1962.' He highlights that over half of NYPD officers now live outside the city, undermining trust and accountability. Parker’s record includes laws on police misconduct, body cameras, and transparency. He cites a 2021 DePaul University study showing residency brings faster response times, better complaint handling, more diversity, and stronger community ties. Mayor Adams called the proposal 'a smart idea.' Parker urges Albany to act, stressing that most city civil servants already live in the five boroughs. He pledges to work on affordable housing for officers. The bill stands as one tool among many in Parker’s police reform agenda.
