East Flatbush-Remsen Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 16, 2025

The Numbers That Don’t Lie

One dead. Eight seriously hurt. In the last twelve months, 252 people have been injured in traffic crashes across East Flatbush-Remsen Village. The deadliest blows fall on the old and the young. A 65-year-old woman was killed crossing with the signal at Rutland Road and E 95th Street this spring. She was crushed by a sedan making a left turn. She never made it to the other side. NYC Open Data

Crashes come steady, not sudden. In just the first half of this year, crashes are up. Injuries are up. The numbers climb while the city waits.

The Human Cost

A man steps into the crosswalk. A car turns. The man does not get up. A cyclist is thrown from his bike at Lenox and Rockaway Parkway. A child is struck crossing with the light. The stories repeat. The pain does not fade.

A relative, after a recent fatal crash, said: “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter.” The grief is bottomless. The street does not care.

What Leaders Have Done—and Not Done

Council Member Darlene Mealy co-sponsored a bill to ban parking near crosswalks, aiming to clear sightlines and protect people on foot. The bill sits in committee. No law yet. NYC Council Legistar

State Senator Roxanne Persaud voted yes on the Stop Super Speeders Act, a bill to force repeat dangerous drivers to install speed-limiting devices. The bill passed committee. It is not yet law. Open States

Assembly Member Monique Chandler-Waterman missed a key vote on extending school speed zones. The silence is loud. Open States

The Next Step Is Yours

Every crash here is preventable. The dead are not statistics. They are neighbors. They are family. Call your council member. Call your senator. Demand action. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.

The street remembers. The city forgets. Don’t let them.
