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.

Adams Removes Bedford Avenue Bike Lane▸Jun 13 - City will rip out a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. The lane calmed a deadly stretch. Drivers still parked illegally. Children darted into traffic. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face more danger. Policy shifts, safety slips. Streets stay lethal.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Adams will remove the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a corridor known for high crash rates. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, 'before this bike lane from 2018 to 2022 this is the area that had the second largest numbers of pedestrian fatalities and crashes in the city.' The lane faced opposition from some Hasidic leaders, citing children running into the lane from illegally parked cars and buses. Despite tweaks—school bus zones, daylighted corners, no standing areas—drivers kept parking illegally, blocking sightlines and endangering children. The city rarely removes protected lanes, but Adams acted after political pressure. Moving the lane to Classon Avenue, as some demand, would force cyclists onto a chaotic BQE ramp. The decision highlights persistent driver violations and policy gaps that leave vulnerable road users exposed.

Adams Removes Bedford Avenue Bike Lane▸Jun 13 - City will rip out a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. The lane calmed a deadly stretch. Drivers still parked illegally. Children darted into traffic. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face more danger. Policy shifts, safety slips. Streets stay lethal.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Adams will remove the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a corridor known for high crash rates. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, 'before this bike lane from 2018 to 2022 this is the area that had the second largest numbers of pedestrian fatalities and crashes in the city.' The lane faced opposition from some Hasidic leaders, citing children running into the lane from illegally parked cars and buses. Despite tweaks—school bus zones, daylighted corners, no standing areas—drivers kept parking illegally, blocking sightlines and endangering children. The city rarely removes protected lanes, but Adams acted after political pressure. Moving the lane to Classon Avenue, as some demand, would force cyclists onto a chaotic BQE ramp. The decision highlights persistent driver violations and policy gaps that leave vulnerable road users exposed.

Adams Removes Bedford Avenue Bike Lane▸Jun 13 - City will rip out a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. The lane calmed a deadly stretch. Drivers still parked illegally. Children darted into traffic. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face more danger. Policy shifts, safety slips. Streets stay lethal.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Adams will remove the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a corridor known for high crash rates. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, 'before this bike lane from 2018 to 2022 this is the area that had the second largest numbers of pedestrian fatalities and crashes in the city.' The lane faced opposition from some Hasidic leaders, citing children running into the lane from illegally parked cars and buses. Despite tweaks—school bus zones, daylighted corners, no standing areas—drivers kept parking illegally, blocking sightlines and endangering children. The city rarely removes protected lanes, but Adams acted after political pressure. Moving the lane to Classon Avenue, as some demand, would force cyclists onto a chaotic BQE ramp. The decision highlights persistent driver violations and policy gaps that leave vulnerable road users exposed.

Adams Removes Bedford Avenue Bike Lane▸Jun 13 - City will rip out a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. The lane calmed a deadly stretch. Drivers still parked illegally. Children darted into traffic. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face more danger. Policy shifts, safety slips. Streets stay lethal.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Adams will remove the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a corridor known for high crash rates. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, 'before this bike lane from 2018 to 2022 this is the area that had the second largest numbers of pedestrian fatalities and crashes in the city.' The lane faced opposition from some Hasidic leaders, citing children running into the lane from illegally parked cars and buses. Despite tweaks—school bus zones, daylighted corners, no standing areas—drivers kept parking illegally, blocking sightlines and endangering children. The city rarely removes protected lanes, but Adams acted after political pressure. Moving the lane to Classon Avenue, as some demand, would force cyclists onto a chaotic BQE ramp. The decision highlights persistent driver violations and policy gaps that leave vulnerable road users exposed.

Jun 13 - City will rip out a protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue. The lane calmed a deadly stretch. Drivers still parked illegally. Children darted into traffic. Now, cyclists and pedestrians face more danger. Policy shifts, safety slips. Streets stay lethal.
Streetsblog NYC reported on June 13, 2025, that Mayor Adams will remove the protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue, a corridor known for high crash rates. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, 'before this bike lane from 2018 to 2022 this is the area that had the second largest numbers of pedestrian fatalities and crashes in the city.' The lane faced opposition from some Hasidic leaders, citing children running into the lane from illegally parked cars and buses. Despite tweaks—school bus zones, daylighted corners, no standing areas—drivers kept parking illegally, blocking sightlines and endangering children. The city rarely removes protected lanes, but Adams acted after political pressure. Moving the lane to Classon Avenue, as some demand, would force cyclists onto a chaotic BQE ramp. The decision highlights persistent driver violations and policy gaps that leave vulnerable road users exposed.
