Blood on Bay Ridge Asphalt: Leaders Talk, Neighbors Die
Precinct 68: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Dead and the Broken
In Precinct 68, the numbers do not bleed, but the streets do. Fourteen people killed. Over 1,700 injured. One serious injury after another. The dead are not just numbers: a 74-year-old man crushed at Bay Ridge Avenue and Ridge Boulevard; a cyclist thrown from his bike on the Belt Parkway; a woman, 48, ejected and killed on 68th Street. The list goes on. Each crash is a family changed forever. See the data.
SUVs and sedans hit hardest. In the last three years, SUVs and cars killed four pedestrians and left dozens more with broken bodies. Trucks, bikes, motorcycles, and mopeds all played their part, but the weight of the carnage falls on the biggest vehicles. Children are not spared. In the last year, 82 people under 18 were hurt in crashes here.
Leadership: Action or Excuses?
The police have the tools. They can enforce speed limits. They can ticket reckless drivers. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. But enforcement is only as strong as the will behind it. Crashes keep coming.
Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about safer streets and lower speed limits. But talk is not enough. The city now has the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph. It has the power to install more speed cameras. Yet every day of delay is another day of risk. The numbers do not lie: in the last year, crashes rose by 11% and injuries by 32%. Deaths fell, but only for now. The next tragedy waits at the next light.
What Comes Next
Precinct 68 can do more. The police can crack down on speeding and failure to yield. They can flood crash hotspots with tickets and patrols. Local politicians can push for street redesigns, more cameras, and lower speed limits. Residents can demand action.
Do not wait for another name on the list. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand safer streets. Demand enforcement. Demand change. The dead cannot speak. The living must.
