From Jan 1, 2022 to Sep 3, 2025, crashes in AD 57 left 14 people dead and 2,509 injured across 4,686 crashes, according to NYC’s collision database.

Which spots are worst?

Bedford Avenue and Fulton Street rank among the top injury locations in AD 57 during this period, with Atlantic Avenue and Rogers Avenue also high on the list (NYC Open Data).

What can fix this on these blocks?

Daylighting, hardened left turns, leading pedestrian intervals, protected bike lanes kept in place—not removed—plus focused night enforcement at repeat hot spots and safer truck routing.

How were these numbers calculated?

Int 1421-2025 would let restaurants and grocery stores run sidewalk and roadway cafes in curb or parking lanes year‑round. It speeds reviews, sets $1,050 fees and four‑year terms, and pushes dining closer to moving traffic — raising risks for pedestrians and cyclists.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding access to roadway and sidewalk cafes
• Neutral
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar
Year‑round expansion of roadway/sidewalk cafes can calm traffic and create buffers that benefit pedestrians, but also risks obstructing sidewalks, complicating winter operations, and creating conflicts near bike lanes. Net safety effects for vulnerable users hinge on strict clear-path, loading, and bike-lane protection rules and enforcement.
