Precinct 77: Blood on the Streets, Silence in the Precinct

Precinct 77: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025

The Numbers That Don’t Lie

One death. Five serious injuries. 376 people hurt. That is the toll of traffic violence in Precinct 77 over the last year. These are not just numbers. Each one is a body broken, a family changed. Crashes keep coming. The disaster moves slow, but it does not stop.

The Faces Behind the Numbers

A 39-year-old man, crushed crossing Atlantic Avenue. A 37-year-old cyclist, dead on Rogers. An 88-year-old woman, gone after a crash on Clinton. A 46-year-old moped rider, killed on Kingston. A 57-year-old motorcyclist, helmet on, still dead on Utica. These are not accidents. They are the result of choices, of speed, of inaction.

What Has Been Done—and What Hasn’t

Local leaders talk about Vision Zero. They talk about lowering speed limits and redesigning streets. But in Precinct 77, the carnage continues. The police have the power to enforce speed limits, ticket reckless drivers, and crack down on failure to yield. They can target the corners where blood stains the curb. They can act. Too often, they wait.

What Comes Next

Precinct 77 can be a shield or a bystander. The choice is theirs. The choice is yours. Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand enforcement. Demand safer streets. Demand action before another name becomes a number.

Don’t wait for another body in the road. Take action now. Here’s how.
