- Earlier that day, a 14‑year‑old on a bike was badly hurt in a collision with a truck by 990 Grand Street. Source.
The toll in Precinct 90
Since Jan 1, 2022, traffic crashes in Precinct 90 have killed 14 people and injured 2,988. Source.
Cyclists: 4 dead, 561 injured. People walking: 3 dead, 476 injured. Drivers and passengers: 5 dead, 1,726 injured. Source.
Corners that keep breaking people
Morgan Avenue leads the list with two deaths and 59 injuries. Union Avenue shows repeated harm, including two deaths at “Union Ave,” plus another death with 69 injuries at “Union Avenue.” Broadway also appears with one death and 166 injuries. Kent Avenue is there too. Source.
Police note common driver errors in these crashes: inattention/distraction, following too closely, disregarding traffic control, failure to yield, alcohol involvement, and improper passing. Source.
What Precinct 90 and DOT can target now
- Protect crossings at Union Avenue, Broadway, and Morgan Avenue with daylighting, hardened turns, and leading pedestrian intervals.
- Slow turns and through‑traffic where people bike and walk. Use raised crossings and tightened corners on repeat corridors.
- Aim enforcement at failure‑to‑yield and distraction where the injuries stack up.
Citywide levers that would matter here
Lower speeds save lives. New York City now has the authority to set safer limits and is rolling out 20 MPH zones. Use it where people are being hurt. See how and where to push for a wider rollout here.
The worst repeat offenders do outsized harm. Albany has a bill—the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C)—to require speed limiters for drivers with heavy point loads or many camera tickets. Push your representatives to back it. Details and call scripts are here.
Local offices for this precinct: Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, and State Senator Julia Salazar. This record does not show their sponsorship status on the speed‑limiter bill. Ask them to put it on the record. Context.
The work in front of us
One woman died on Meserole. The books already held too many names. The next one is preventable if we slow cars, harden the dangerous corners, and stop the repeat offenders. Start with one call. Take action.

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.

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.

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.
