Blood on Liberty Avenue: How Many Must Die Before the City Acts?

Precinct 106: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Toll: Lives Broken, Numbers Rising

In Precinct 106, the street is a wound that never closes. Eleven people have died here since 2022. Two thousand seven hundred forty-seven have been hurt. Thirty-nine were left with injuries so grave they may never heal. The dead are not numbers. They are mothers, sons, neighbors. A 52-year-old woman, struck at an intersection by a motorcycle. A 51-year-old woman, crushed on the sidewalk. A child, bleeding at the curb. The pain does not fade.

The Pattern: Cars, Trucks, and the Unforgiving Road

Cars and SUVs killed three. Trucks and buses killed one. Motorcycles and mopeds killed one. The rest are left to limp, to grieve, to wonder why the road is never safe. The latest horror came in April, when a car jumped the curb at Liberty Avenue and Lefferts Boulevard. Nine people were hurt. Four were waiting for the bus. Two were on the bus. Three were in the car. Police said none of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries. But the line between life and death is thin here. The bus stop is not a shelter. The sidewalk is not safe.

The Response: Leadership and the Long Wait

The city has tools. Speed cameras. Lower speed limits. New laws. But change is slow. The police can crack down on speeding, reckless driving, and failure to yield. They can target crash hotspots. They can write tickets. They can act. But the street keeps bleeding. The silence from leaders is loud. Every day without action is another day of risk.

What Comes Next: Demand More

This is not fate. This is failure. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call the precinct. Tell them the street is not safe until the dying stops. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer crossings. Demand action, not words. The next victim is already walking.

Take action now.
