The Safest Places to Walk in Brooklyn
Northside/East Williamsburg
I wouldn’t believe it if I weren’t looking at the data with my own eyes, but once you go north of the bridge there were no pedestrian deaths in Willamsburg from 2009 to 2011, from the waterfront to the Queens border, until you get well above McCarren in Greenpoint, up to Calyer Street. This must be thanks to careful drivers, as we’ve all seen those swarms of careless drunks jaywalking on Bedford. [photo]
