How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets: Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered for Police Precinct 70 and the period 2022-01-01 to 2025-09-18. We counted deaths, serious injuries, modes, contributing factors, times of day, and corridor totals from those filtered records. Data was accessed Sep 18, 2025. You can view an example filtered query [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/h9gi-nx95.csv?$select=count(*)&$where=precinct=70%20and%20crash_date%20between%20%272022-01-01%27%20and%20%272025-09-18%27).

We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

What should be fixed first?

Daylight corners, add leading pedestrian intervals, and harden turns at Flatbush Avenue and Bedford Avenue. Target failure‑to‑yield enforcement at these locations. [NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)
