Two injury crashes are logged at Seaview Ave and Remsen Ave: on Aug 1, 2025 (CrashID 4832489), and on Jul 20, 2025 (CrashID 4829299). Both are recorded in NYC’s collision database ([NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)).

Where are the worst trouble spots in this area?

Belt Parkway has the highest injury count in this zone, followed by Seaview Ave, Shore Parkway, and Rockaway Pkwy, according to the area rollup from 2022 through Sep 4, 2025 ([NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)).

Are injuries getting better or worse this year?

Year‑to‑date, this area shows 83 crashes and 83 injuries versus 77 and 73 at this point last year — increases of 7.8% and 13.7%, respectively, per our compiled stats from NYC’s crash database as of Sep 4, 2025 ([NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)).

What policies could help now?

Two measures are in play: lowering NYC’s default speed limit (enabled citywide) and passing New York’s Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045) to require speed limiters for repeat speeders ([Open States](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045)).

How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4). We filtered by neighborhood Canarsie Park & Pier (NTA BK1893) for the period 2022‑01‑01 to 2025‑09‑04. We counted total crashes, injuries, and pedestrian‑injury breakdowns, and compared year‑to‑date 2025 vs. the same period in 2024. You can start from the Crashes dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95) and apply the same filters.
