No More Waiting for Dead Bodies

Precinct 63: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 28, 2025

The Numbers That Don’t Lie

Seven dead. Thirty-eight seriously hurt. That’s the toll on the streets of Precinct 63 since 2022. These are not just numbers—they are neighbors, children, elders. In the last twelve months alone, two more lives ended. Over 800 people injured. The blood dries, but the pain lingers.

The Latest Crashes: No End in Sight

Just this spring, a 30-year-old motorcyclist was killed at Avenue U and Flatbush Avenue. The cause: unsafe speed. Last winter, a 57-year-old man died in a fiery crash on Kings Highway. The cause: unsafe speed. On Flatlands Avenue, a 24-year-old woman was struck and killed while crossing outside a crosswalk. The driver kept going. She never made it home. NYC crash data

Leadership: Promises and Silence

The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and target crash hotspots. But the carnage continues. “We wait until someone dies. We wait until a tragedy. We wait to say, ‘oh my gosh, how could this possibly have happened?’ We let this happen time and time again.” said State Senator Andrew Gounardes. The city talks about plans. The plans gather dust. “We started talking about a plan in 2014 and it’s now 2025. What is going on? We got word last fall that there was a pause, but an indefinite pause and I don’t know what that means. There’s been no conversation, no updates.” said Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes.

The Role of Precinct 63

Precinct 63 can act. Officers can crack down on speeding, failure to yield, and reckless driving. They can respond to dangerous conditions and protect the most vulnerable. They just need to know it matters. The silence is a choice.

Call to Action: Make Them Hear You

This is not fate. This is policy. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand action. Demand speed enforcement. Demand safer streets. Every day of delay is another family shattered.
