Brooklyn Street Safety is Back to 2014 Levels
Brooklyn politicians who have claimed they have made “streets safer” are not telling us the truth.
Transalt shared this chart about street safety from 2014 – 2021. We are back to high fatality rates from 2014.
Why? There aren’t enough police on the road to regulate people.
People, including our politicians like Councilman Justin Brannan and NYC Comptroller Brad Lander don’t care and have been caught speeding by red light cameras. (Source and Source)
Previously NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams also did the same from 2018 – 2020. (Source and Source) Now the police drive him around. (Source)
We have heard some of the politicians label themselves “a champion of street safety.” There are no champions for street safety in Brooklyn.
In 2020, Senator Andrew Gounardes said, “We have to do better.” (Source) But he didn’t do anything differently to change the streets. He likes to tweet his sympathies for the children who died, but he doesn’t change the roads where children have died in this community.
Senator Gounardes was silent when his friends Brannan and Lander broke the law.
