Park Slope Bleeds While City Stalls—Who Will Stop the Next Crash?
Precinct 78: Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 4, 2025
The Toll in Plain Sight
Two dead. Fifteen left with serious injuries. In the last three and a half years, the streets of Precinct 78—Park Slope, Prospect Park, and beyond—have not been gentle. These are not just numbers. They are bodies broken on the pavement, families waiting in hospital halls. In the last twelve months alone, 356 people were hurt in 633 crashes. Three of those injuries were life-altering. No one walked away from those days the same. Crash data
Pedestrians and cyclists take the worst of it. Taxis, sedans, SUVs, and trucks all play their part. A 72-year-old woman was killed by a taxi at Flatbush and 5th. Another pedestrian, age 60, was crushed at Flatbush and 4th. Cyclists have been thrown, struck, and left bleeding on Union and Atlantic. The stories repeat. The pain does not fade.
Leadership: Promises and Delays
The city has the tools. Speed cameras slash speeding. Lower speed limits save lives. Albany passed Sammy’s Law, giving New York City the power to set safer speeds. But the city drags its feet. The law sits unused. The cameras face expiration unless Albany acts again. Each day of delay is another day of risk.
Precinct 78 can do more. Police can enforce speed limits. They can ticket drivers who fail to yield. They can target the corners where blood has already been spilled. But enforcement is only as strong as the will behind it. The silence of leaders is a choice. So is action.
The Path Forward
This is not fate. Crashes are not weather. They are the result of choices—by drivers, by city hall, by the police, by all of us. The tools exist. The data is clear. The bodies are real.
Demand more. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Call the precinct. Tell them you want lower speed limits, more enforcement, and streets that put people before cars. Do not wait for another name on the list. Take action now.

Flatbush Avenue Bus Lane Plan Advances▸City eyes a center bus lane on Flatbush. Concrete islands promise safer crossings. Details remain thin. Cars may still block buses. The street could change. Pedestrians and riders wait. The city holds its breath.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-06-09) reports the Department of Transportation plans a center-running bus lane on Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn. The project aims to connect neighborhoods and calm traffic. DOT Assistant Director Dustin Khuu said the goal is a 'high performing transit priority street.' The plan includes concrete bus boarding islands and may reduce car lanes, giving more space to pedestrians and buses. However, the article notes gaps: 'DOT didn't share a block-by-block breakdown,' and curbside parking may remain, risking bus lane obstruction by double-parked vehicles. The city may physically protect the lane, but details are pending. The B41 bus, serving 28,000 daily trips, crawls at 4 mph during rush hour. The proposal highlights the need for clear enforcement and design to keep cars out of bus lanes and protect vulnerable road users.

Flatbush Avenue Bus Lanes, Pedestrian Islands Planned▸Flatbush Avenue will lose car lanes. Bus lanes and pedestrian islands will take their place. Fifty-five killed or badly hurt since 2019. Buses crawl. Pedestrians dodge traffic. The city moves to fix a deadly, clogged corridor.
Gothamist reported on June 4, 2025, that New York City's Department of Transportation plans to overhaul Flatbush Avenue between Livingston Street and Grand Army Plaza. The redesign replaces two car lanes with 24/7 bus-only lanes and adds pedestrian islands. DOT officials said, 'almost 70,000 daily bus riders are stuck waiting too long for slow buses, drivers are caught in a mess of traffic and pedestrians are left crossing intersections clogged with vehicles.' Since 2019, 55 people have been killed or severely injured in crashes along this stretch. The plan removes curbside parking and bans cars from bus lanes, aiming to speed up twelve bus routes and protect people on foot. Most residents in the area do not own cars and depend on slow buses. The proposal reflects a shift toward prioritizing vulnerable road users and addressing systemic danger on one of Brooklyn's busiest corridors.

Flatbush Avenue will lose car lanes. Bus lanes and pedestrian islands will take their place. Fifty-five killed or badly hurt since 2019. Buses crawl. Pedestrians dodge traffic. The city moves to fix a deadly, clogged corridor.
Gothamist reported on June 4, 2025, that New York City's Department of Transportation plans to overhaul Flatbush Avenue between Livingston Street and Grand Army Plaza. The redesign replaces two car lanes with 24/7 bus-only lanes and adds pedestrian islands. DOT officials said, 'almost 70,000 daily bus riders are stuck waiting too long for slow buses, drivers are caught in a mess of traffic and pedestrians are left crossing intersections clogged with vehicles.' Since 2019, 55 people have been killed or severely injured in crashes along this stretch. The plan removes curbside parking and bans cars from bus lanes, aiming to speed up twelve bus routes and protect people on foot. Most residents in the area do not own cars and depend on slow buses. The proposal reflects a shift toward prioritizing vulnerable road users and addressing systemic danger on one of Brooklyn's busiest corridors.
