Night on N 7th: another body, another corner, same story
Precinct 94: Jan 1, 2022 - Oct 10, 2025
Just after Oct 5 on N 7 St at Roebling, a driver and a person on a bike collided. The cyclist was hurt. source
This Week
- On Nassau Ave at McGuinness Blvd, police recorded failure to yield by the driver; a person walking was injured. source
- At Greenpoint Ave and Monitor St, police recorded failure to yield by the driver; a person walking with the signal was hurt at the intersection. source
- On Huron St at West St, a driver and an e‑bike rider collided; the rider suffered a head injury. source
The count keeps climbing here
Since 2022, Precinct 94 has recorded 11 deaths and 1,655 injuries in traffic crashes. People walking account for 6 of those deaths; people biking, 2. source
The harm has not let up this year. Year to date, crashes stand at 704 with 5 deaths and 332 injuries, compared to 742 crashes, 1 death, and 364 injuries at this point last year. source
Corners that don’t forgive
Greenpoint Avenue shows a death and repeated injuries. Meeker Avenue and Vandervoort Avenue are steady injury sites. The Brooklyn‑Queens Expressway carries hundreds of injuries through this precinct on its own. source
Police reports in the past month tie injuries to drivers failing to yield at Nassau and McGuinness, and at Greenpoint and Monitor. source
Deaths cluster at dark hours here. Multiple fatalities hit around midnight, 3 AM, and 7 PM. source
For people walking, heavy vehicles leave the deepest cut: trucks are tied to 4 pedestrian deaths in this precinct’s data. source
What fixes the next corner
Start with the predictable moves at the known hot spots: daylighting at corners like Greenpoint Avenue, hardened turns and leading walk signals at Meeker and Vandervoort, tighter truck turns and routing away from crosswalks where possible. Then aim enforcement when it matters most: evening and overnight, and at left‑turn and right‑turn conflict points where police keep recording failure to yield.
Citywide tools exist. Lower the default speed limit. Require speed limiters for the worst repeat offenders. The steps and contacts are laid out here.
Who must answer for Precinct 94
Local officials for this area are Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, and State Senator Julia Salazar. The pattern on N 7 St, Greenpoint Avenue, Meeker, and the BQE is in the record. The deaths and injuries are in the record. The next move is theirs.
Act so the next person on a bike at N 7 St and Roebling gets home. Start here.
