Precinct 69: Evening light, hard deaths
Precinct 69: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just before dusk on Jan 27, 2024, a 14‑year‑old was hit at Glenwood Road and E 81 Street. He died there. NYC Open Data
He was one of 11 people killed on Precinct 69 streets since Jan 1, 2022, alongside 2,359 injured. The record is ours to see. NYC Open Data
The clock that keeps striking 6 PM
The deadliest hour here is 6 PM. Four people died then in this period; nights stay bloody through 11 PM. NYC Open Data
This year, one person is dead so far; by this point last year it was two. But injuries are rising: 556 this year versus 428 last year to date. Bodies break even when headlines fade. NYC Open Data
Where the street bites back
Rockaway Parkway and Glenwood Road carry the most lives lost in this precinct’s dataset over this span. Flatlands Avenue and Avenue L sit close behind. The corners are known; the toll is written. NYC Open Data
At Avenue L and E 88 Street, a driver turning left struck and killed a pedestrian; the report lists Failure to Yield. CrashID 4785035
At Glenwood Road and E 105 Street, a man behind the wheel with Alcohol Involvement and Tinted Windows hit and killed a 68‑year‑old crossing. CrashID 4699493
On Rockaway Parkway, a 91‑year‑old woman was killed mid‑block; the record cites Driver Inattention/Distraction. CrashID 4594504
Precinct 69 knows the map
These are police streets. Target the hours that kill. Post at Rockaway Parkway, Glenwood Road, Flatlands Avenue, Avenue L. Enforce turns. Ticket failure‑to‑yield at the crosswalk. Watch for speed as the light goes down. NYC Open Data
Proven tools fit these corners: daylighting at unsighted mouths, hardened lefts, leading pedestrian intervals, speed humps where cut‑throughs invite flight. None of this is theory. The bodies are the proof. NYC Open Data
The law can slow the cars
City Hall can drop residential speeds to 20 MPH. Albany already opened that door. The fix is simple: slower streets, fewer funerals. /take_action/
The worst repeat speeders can be stopped with speed limiters. The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force chronic offenders’ cars to obey the limit. It is ready when lawmakers are. /take_action/
Names on the line
This precinct sits in Council District 46, Assembly AD 58, and Senate SD 19. Council Member Mercedes Narcisse. Assembly Member Monique Chandler‑Waterman. State Senator Roxanne Persaud. The bills are on the table. The danger is on these blocks. What gives?
One boy at Glenwood. One woman on Rockaway Parkway. One left turn on Avenue L. The hour is 6 PM. The work is clear. /take_action/

Mayor Delays Third Avenue Safety Redesign▸Jul 17 - Two men died crossing Third Avenue. A driver sped through a red. The city knew the danger. The mayor stalled safety plans. The street stays deadly. The toll mounts. The fix waits.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-17) reports Mayor Adams delayed a redesign of Brooklyn's Third Avenue, long known as hazardous. Last week, a speeding driver ran a red light, killing two pedestrians. The article quotes Adams, who once called Third Avenue 'extremely intimidating' and said it 'must be at the top of our list.' Despite this, his administration 'put the brakes on a potentially life-saving road redesign,' favoring business interests. Attorney Peter Beadle notes, 'they had a plan ready to go and then it was pulled back.' The city could face legal action for failing to act despite knowing the risks, echoing a 2017 state court ruling on municipal liability.

Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-17) reports Mayor Adams delayed a redesign of Brooklyn's Third Avenue, long known as hazardous. Last week, a speeding driver ran a red light, killing two pedestrians. The article quotes Adams, who once called Third Avenue 'extremely intimidating' and said it 'must be at the top of our list.' Despite this, his administration 'put the brakes on a potentially life-saving road redesign,' favoring business interests. Attorney Peter Beadle notes, 'they had a plan ready to go and then it was pulled back.' The city could face legal action for failing to act despite knowing the risks, echoing a 2017 state court ruling on municipal liability.

Despite this, his administration 'put the brakes on a potentially life-saving road redesign,' favoring business interests.

Mayor Delays Third Avenue Safety Redesign▸Jul 17 - Two men died crossing Third Avenue. A driver sped through a red. The city knew the danger. The mayor stalled safety plans. The street stays deadly. The toll mounts. The fix waits.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-17) reports Mayor Adams delayed a redesign of Brooklyn's Third Avenue, long known as hazardous. Last week, a speeding driver ran a red light, killing two pedestrians. The article quotes Adams, who once called Third Avenue 'extremely intimidating' and said it 'must be at the top of our list.' Despite this, his administration 'put the brakes on a potentially life-saving road redesign,' favoring business interests. Attorney Peter Beadle notes, 'they had a plan ready to go and then it was pulled back.' The city could face legal action for failing to act despite knowing the risks, echoing a 2017 state court ruling on municipal liability.
