Call it the Avenue of Death. Brooklyn’s Atlantic Ave. is becoming one of city’s most dangerous streets for pedestrians, a new study found. From 2006 to 2008, nine pedestrians were killed along the stretch of Atlantic Ave. from Cypress Hills to Downtwon Brooklyn making it one of the two deadliest strips in the city, a new study by the Tri-Station Transportation Campaign showed. That gave Atlantic Ave. nearly twice as many fatalities as Queen’s Blvd. which has become far safer since its frequent pedestrian deaths got it dubbed the “Boulevard of Death” at the start of the last decade.
