Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in East Flatbush-Remsen Village?
East Flatbush Bleeds—City Shrugs
East Flatbush-Remsen Village: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
One Death, Hundreds Injured: The Numbers Do Not Lie
In East Flatbush-Remsen Village, the street is a gauntlet. One person killed. 235 injured. One left with wounds so deep they count as serious. These are not numbers from a war zone. They are from the last twelve months, on the blocks where children walk to school and elders cross for groceries. NYC crash data
Sedans and SUVs do most of the damage. In the last year, cars killed one person and left dozens battered. Not a single cyclist killed anyone. Not a single truck or bus. The violence is lopsided, and it is relentless.
The Human Cost: A Name, A Sound, A Call for Help
On May 14, Maurette Lafleur, 68, crossed Rutland Road with the light. A Mercedes driver turned left and struck her. She died in the crosswalk. A neighbor heard it all. “I heard the van run over her and her bones crunching,” said Lorna Johnson. The city moved on. The street stayed the same.
Leadership: Action or Excuse?
What have local leaders done? The silence is heavy. No new bills. No public fight for safer crossings. No push for lower speed limits here. The city has the power to set 20 mph limits after Sammy’s Law. They have not used it. The cameras that catch speeders could go dark if Albany stalls. The council and the mayor could act. They have not.
What Comes Next: The Choice Is Yours
This is not fate. It is policy. Every day leaders wait, another family risks the call. Demand action. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to lower the speed limit. Tell them to keep the cameras on. Tell them to build streets that protect people, not just cars. Take action now.
