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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.
