Franklin and Fulton: a morning crash, a long record
Precinct 79: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 25, 2025
Just after 9 AM on Oct 20, 2025, at Franklin Avenue and Fulton Street, a taxi going straight and a man on a bike collided. He was hurt. Source.
This Week
- Oct 20: A taxi and a cyclist crashed at Franklin and Fulton; the cyclist was injured. Source
- Oct 17: An SUV and a cyclist collided at Myrtle and Franklin; the cyclist was injured. Source
A toll counted in names and numbers
Since Jan 1, 2022, on streets in Precinct 79, 13 people have been killed and 2,270 injured, including people walking and biking. Data.
Eight of the dead were people on foot. One was on a bike. Data.
Crashes here total 4,170 in that span. Twenty‑four people suffered serious injuries. Data.
Nights are long on these blocks
Deaths pile up after dark. At 4 AM alone, police recorded three deaths across these years. Two more came at 11 PM. Data.
Bedford Avenue leads the pain with two deaths and 158 injuries. Myrtle Avenue shows two deaths and 33 injuries. Data.
Who bears the hit
People walking are struck most often by drivers in cars and SUVs. In this precinct since 2022, SUVs are tied to four pedestrian deaths; sedans to one. Trucks account for two. Data.
Fix the corners where people fall
Start where the bodies fall: daylight the crosswalks on Bedford and Myrtle. Install leading pedestrian intervals and hardened left turns at Franklin, Bedford, Nostrand, and Myrtle. Add protected bike links through the Franklin–Myrtle–Fulton triangle. Target truck turns where pedestrians have been killed.
Police in Precinct 79 can focus enforcement at late‑night hours and at known hot spots. Prioritize failure‑to‑yield and red‑light runs. The record shows where and when to look. Data.
Stop the worst repeat offenders
A small group of drivers does outsized harm citywide. One analysis found that 1.5% of motorists account for 21% of pedestrian deaths, and vehicles with 16 camera tickets in a year are twice as likely to kill or seriously injure; 30+ tickets multiplies the risk fifty‑fold. Source.
The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would force repeat offenders to install intelligent speed limiters after 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year. Ask Assembly Member Stefani Zinerman, State Senator Jabari Brisport, and Council Member Chi A. Ossé where they stand. What gives?
Slow the default, save a life
New York City has the power to lower more speed limits under Sammy’s Law. A 20 MPH default on local streets would give people a fighting chance. The city can act. So can you. Details and contacts here.
One corner. One morning. Then another corner, another night. This will not stop by itself.

Judge Allows Bedford Bike Lane Removal▸Jul 9 - A Brooklyn judge cleared the way for Adams to tear out Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane. City data showed crashes fell with protection. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face exposed pavement and risk.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-09) reports Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo ruled Mayor Adams can remove three blocks of Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane without advance notice. The city’s own Department of Transportation found the protected lane cut crashes and injuries by 47 percent, but the judge called the change 'only a modification.'

The decision highlights gaps in notification laws and the risk of reverting to unprotected lanes on a Vision Zero priority corridor.

She wrote, 'Modification of the bike lane is not a major transportation project.'

Judge Allows Bedford Bike Lane Removal▸Jul 9 - A Brooklyn judge cleared the way for Adams to tear out Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane. City data showed crashes fell with protection. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face exposed pavement and risk.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-09) reports Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo ruled Mayor Adams can remove three blocks of Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane without advance notice. The city’s own Department of Transportation found the protected lane cut crashes and injuries by 47 percent, but the judge called the change 'only a modification.' She wrote, 'Modification of the bike lane is not a major transportation project.' Critics, including Council Member Lincoln Restler, say the removal endangers vulnerable road users and bypasses public input. The decision highlights gaps in notification laws and the risk of reverting to unprotected lanes on a Vision Zero priority corridor.

Judge Allows Bedford Bike Lane Removal▸Jul 9 - A Brooklyn judge cleared the way for Adams to tear out Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane. City data showed crashes fell with protection. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face exposed pavement and risk.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-09) reports Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo ruled Mayor Adams can remove three blocks of Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane without advance notice. The city’s own Department of Transportation found the protected lane cut crashes and injuries by 47 percent, but the judge called the change 'only a modification.' She wrote, 'Modification of the bike lane is not a major transportation project.' Critics, including Council Member Lincoln Restler, say the removal endangers vulnerable road users and bypasses public input. The decision highlights gaps in notification laws and the risk of reverting to unprotected lanes on a Vision Zero priority corridor.

Jul 15 - A judge stopped city crews from tearing out Bedford Ave’s only protected bike lane. The lane, shielded by parked cars, now waits for a court fight. Cyclists and advocates hold their ground.
NY Daily News reported on July 15, 2025, that an appellate judge blocked New York City from removing the protected Bedford Ave bike lane in Williamsburg. The city planned to move cyclists next to car traffic, but the court granted an emergency restraining order after advocates appealed. Ben Furnas of Transportation Alternatives called the lane a 'critical safety project.' City Hall insists the reconfiguration is legal and claims the appeal delays 'easing the safety concerns plaguing Williamsburg parents.' The protected lane, installed in October 2024, separates cyclists from moving vehicles. The ruling highlights ongoing policy battles over street design and cyclist safety.

Jul 9 - A Brooklyn judge cleared the way for Adams to tear out Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane. City data showed crashes fell with protection. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face exposed pavement and risk.
Streetsblog NYC (2025-07-09) reports Judge Carolyn Walker-Diallo ruled Mayor Adams can remove three blocks of Bedford Avenue’s protected bike lane without advance notice. The city’s own Department of Transportation found the protected lane cut crashes and injuries by 47 percent, but the judge called the change 'only a modification.' She wrote, 'Modification of the bike lane is not a major transportation project.' Critics, including Council Member Lincoln Restler, say the removal endangers vulnerable road users and bypasses public input. The decision highlights gaps in notification laws and the risk of reverting to unprotected lanes on a Vision Zero priority corridor.
