Council Member Simcha Felder has represented South Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish community for over two decades but has drawn criticism for opposing street safety measures. After the tragic deaths of a mother and her two children on Ocean Parkway, Felder's lack of response has raised concerns about his commitment to community safety. His history includes blocking speed camera programs and opposing changes aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety, reflecting a long-standing prioritization of drivers' interests over those of vulnerable community members.
Felder has consistently opposed measures that prioritize pedestrian safety, enabling a culture of reckless driving in his community. His opposition has endangered local families.
In response to the deaths of a mother and her two children, Felder's silence on street safety highlights a troubling disconnect between political decisions and community safety.
