Prospect Park Bleeds: No Safety Until City Acts
Prospect Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Prospect Park
One dead. Six seriously hurt. In three and a half years, that is the cost of moving through Prospect Park by bike, foot, or car. The numbers do not flinch. 194 crashes. 128 injured. The park is green, but the pavement runs red.
A 25-year-old woman on a bike died on Parkside Avenue. A truck, a flatbed, a bike. She was ejected. She did not get up. NYC Open Data
A 17-year-old boy, also on a bike, was struck by an SUV at Park Circle. He was thrown. He survived, but the scars will last. NYC Open Data
Children are not spared. In the last year, one under 18 was injured. The young, the old, the strong, the frail—none are safe from the metal and speed.
Who Bears the Brunt
Bikes, cars, trucks, mopeds. All have drawn blood. In the last three years, bikes caused three pedestrian injuries. SUVs and cars caused five. A moped, one. Trucks, none this time, but the record is not clean.
The pain is not spread even. Cyclists and pedestrians take the worst of it. The numbers show who is most exposed. The city counts, but the city does not shield.
What Has Been Done—And What Has Not
The city talks of Vision Zero. They build bike lanes, lower speed limits, install cameras. But the pace is slow. One death is too many. The words are right, but the work is not done. The Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program lapsed. Cameras need Albany’s blessing to keep running. The law to lower speed limits exists, but the city has not pulled the trigger for 20 mph everywhere.
Every day of delay is another day of risk.
What Next: Demand Action
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand a 20 mph speed limit. Demand cameras that never sleep. Demand streets that do not kill.
Do not wait for another body on the road. Take action now.
