Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Baisley Park?
Baisley Park Bleeds While Leaders Stall
Baisley Park: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Numbers That Don’t Lie
One person dead. Four seriously injured. In Baisley Park, the numbers do not soften with time. Since 2022, there have been 1,265 crashes. 744 people hurt. The dead are not coming back. The injured carry scars you cannot see. NYC Open Data
Children are not spared. 88 kids injured in three years. The old are not spared. 15 people over 75 hurt. The violence is steady, unbroken, and it does not care who you are.
Who Bears the Brunt
SUVs and sedans do most of the damage. One death and 18 moderate injuries came from cars and SUVs. Trucks and buses added to the toll. Motorcycles and mopeds left one moderate injury. No one was killed by a bike, but the threat from heavy metal rolling fast is always there.
Pedestrians and cyclists are hit hardest. A man crossing Linden Boulevard, not at a crosswalk, was left semiconscious by an SUV. A cyclist ejected from his bike on 155th Street. The stories repeat. The pain does not fade.
Leadership: Words, Laws, and Waiting
The city passed Sammy’s Law, giving New York the power to lower speed limits. But the limit in Baisley Park is not yet 20 mph. Speed cameras work, but their future is always in doubt. Laws are passed, but change comes slow. The city says it is committed to Vision Zero. The dead and injured wait for proof.
No local leader has stood in the street and said, “Enough.” No council vote has forced the limit down. No press conference has named the children hurt here. Delay is a choice.
What Comes Next
Call your council member. Call the mayor. Demand the 20 mph limit. Demand cameras that never go dark.
Every day of delay is another day of blood on the street.
