What changed in the past month?

Two pedestrians were killed: one at Liberty Avenue by the Van Wyck service road on Sep 20, and one on the Belt Parkway on Sep 12, according to NYC Open Data.

How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes, Persons, and Vehicles). We filtered records to Council District 28 and the period Jan 1, 2022–Sep 25, 2025, and tallied deaths, injuries, crashes, and pedestrian subsets. Data were accessed Sep 25, 2025. You can explore the base datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

Who are the local officials?

Your City Council Member is Adrienne Adams. The area overlaps Assembly District 23 (Stacey Pheffer Amato) and State Senate District 10 (James Sanders).

What policies could help now?

Daylighting corners citywide (Intro 1138) awaits a vote. City leaders can also set a 20 MPH default on residential streets and Albany can pass speed limiters for repeat offenders. See details on our [Take Action](/take_action/) page.

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.
