Precinct 75: Evening streets, broken bodies
Precinct 75: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 8, 2025
Just after midday on Oct 2, at Crescent Street and Hill Street, a driver in a sedan hit an 8‑year‑old who was walking. Police recorded a serious injury (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Oct 2: A driver hit a person walking at Crescent and Hill; serious injury recorded (crash data).
- Sep 24: At Livonia and Snediker, police cited failure to yield by the driver after a person walking was seriously hurt (crash data).
The toll in this precinct
Since 2022, Precinct 75 has seen 19 people killed and 7,143 injured in traffic crashes (Open Data rollup). That includes 8 people walking and 1 person on a bike killed; 10 vehicle occupants also died (mode totals).
This year alone, 8 people have been killed here, compared with 2 at this point last year. Serious injuries are also up, 29 this year versus 13 last year (comparative stats).
The evening hour is when it breaks. At 8 PM, four people have died since 2022—the most of any hour. The 6 PM and 5 PM hours also carry heavy injuries and deaths (hourly distribution).
Where it happens, and why police say it happens
Pennsylvania Avenue and the Belt Parkway each carry two recorded deaths in this period. Linden Boulevard is an injury factory (hotspots data).
Police reports here list named driver behaviors again and again: failure to yield in at least 42 injury crashes, running lights in at least 13, aggressive driving and distraction in dozens more (contributing factors).
What Precinct 75 can do now
Target the evening rush. Enforce failure‑to‑yield at crosswalks on Pennsylvania Avenue and along Linden Boulevard. Post up at known trouble corners and write the summonses.
DOT can harden left turns, add daylighting at corners, and give people on foot a head start with leading pedestrian intervals. None of that needs a ribbon. All of it is standard practice, and it works when used at the right spots (crash records).
Stop the pattern citywide
Slower default speeds save lives at the moment of impact. New York has the power to lower speeds and rein in repeat speeders. Use it. A citywide 20 MPH default and mandatory speed limiters for habitual offenders would keep the worst harm out of these crosswalks. The path is laid out here: Take Action.
Council Member Chris Banks, Assembly Member Erik Dilan, and State Senator Julia Salazar represent this area. The public record in this briefing does not show whether they back the speed‑limiter bill named there. If they don’t, what gives?
One child at Crescent and Hill is in the hospital. The next one is waiting at the light. Take one step now: push your leaders to act.

Gothamist reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Eric Adams ordered the removal of protective barriers from a stretch of Brooklyn’s Bedford Avenue bike lane. The move follows complaints from local residents, especially after a viral video showed a child running into the lane from a double-parked car and colliding with an e-bike. Adams stated, 'we listened to community concerns and decided to adjust the current design to better reflect community feedback.' The Department of Transportation will revert the protected lane to its previous unprotected state between Willoughby and Flushing avenues. The article highlights ongoing political battles over street design and notes that double-parking and chaotic traffic remain unaddressed. Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro cited 'lack of action' on e-bike safety as a barrier to safer infrastructure. The decision removes a key safety measure for vulnerable road users.

Streetsblog NYC reported on June 11, 2025, that parents at Public School 110 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, are calling for a Paris-style school street to protect children.

Jun 13 - City strips protection from Bedford Avenue bike lane. Cyclists lose shield. Children dart from double-parked cars. Community complaints drive policy. Streets stay chaotic. Power struggles linger. Riders and walkers face new risk. Steel yields to politics.
Gothamist reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Eric Adams ordered the removal of protective barriers from a stretch of Brooklyn’s Bedford Avenue bike lane. The move follows complaints from local residents, especially after a viral video showed a child running into the lane from a double-parked car and colliding with an e-bike. Adams stated, 'we listened to community concerns and decided to adjust the current design to better reflect community feedback.' The Department of Transportation will revert the protected lane to its previous unprotected state between Willoughby and Flushing avenues. The article highlights ongoing political battles over street design and notes that double-parking and chaotic traffic remain unaddressed. Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro cited 'lack of action' on e-bike safety as a barrier to safer infrastructure. The decision removes a key safety measure for vulnerable road users.
