Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Canarsie?
Speed Kills in Canarsie. Who Will Stop It?
Canarsie: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers Do Not Lie
Twelve dead. Thirteen left with injuries so grave they may never walk the same. In Canarsie, from 2022 to June 2025, the streets have not been kind. Nearly 1,700 people hurt. The numbers do not soften. They do not blink. They only rise.
Pedestrians pay the highest price. A 14-year-old boy, crushed at an intersection. An elderly man, struck crossing Rockaway Parkway. A woman, killed on Avenue L. Each death is a family broken, a chair left empty, a name turned to a number.
The Machines That Kill
SUVs and sedans are the main weapons. Of the vehicles that killed or maimed pedestrians here, 7 were cars or SUVs, 1 was a truck, none were bikes. The pattern is clear. The threat is heavy, fast, and steel.
Leadership: Words, Laws, and Waiting
Local leaders have tools. They have the law. They have the power. Albany passed Sammy’s Law. The city can lower speed limits to 20 mph. But in Canarsie, the limit stands. The silence is loud.
When the police swarm after a crash, the city notices. “He’s like, ‘Oh my god, another, like, 10 just flew by. You know, 30 cops, oh my god, 40 cops, that’s insane.’” said Doris Isakov. The response is swift after the blood is spilled. The prevention is slow.
What Comes Next
Every day without action is a day closer to the next siren. The city can lower the speed limit. The council can demand safer crossings. The state can keep speed cameras running. But none of it matters if leaders wait.
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand cameras that never sleep. Demand streets where children can cross and come home.
