Sunset Park keeps the tally
Since 2022, Precinct 72 has recorded 17 deaths and 3,113 injuries across 5,142 crashes. Police list 32 serious injuries in that span. NYC Open Data.
People on foot have borne 7 deaths and 401 injuries. People on bikes: 2 deaths and 505 injuries. NYC Open Data.
Afternoons are the danger hours. Around 3 PM and 4 PM, injuries peak, and police count multiple deaths in those hours. Precinct 72 analysis.
Corners that don’t forgive
The worst corridors here are 4 Avenue and 3 Avenue, where police count the most deaths and injuries. 5 Avenue also ranks high. Precinct 72 analysis.
Police reports cite driver failure to yield among the named factors tied to deaths and injuries. Precinct 72 analysis.
A few days ago, a 75‑year‑old woman in Sunset Park crossed with the walk signal. A driver hit her and fled. “The crash happened in Sunset Park as she was crossing the street with a walk signal,” police said, as quoted by Gothamist.
Make the next turn safer
Simple tools fit these streets: daylight the crosswalks on 4 Avenue and 3 Avenue; harden left turns; give walkers a head start at signals; aim failure‑to‑yield enforcement at the afternoon peak. These match the documented spikes by hour and the named factors here. Precinct 72 analysis.
Citywide fixes are on the table. The city now has the power to lower speeds. The state is weighing speed limiters for repeat offenders. Both are laid out here: Take Action.
Council Member Alexa Avilés, Assembly Member Robert Carroll, and State Senator Steve Chan represent this area. The question is simple: will they back the tools already described in our action plan?
Lower the speeds. Stop the repeat speeders. Start on 4 Avenue and 3 Avenue. The next walk signal should not be a gamble.
Take one step today: push your officials to act.
