Q&A

Santosuosso says Bay Ridge drag racing persists despite NYPD efforts

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 1:27:51 · 40 sec

Santosuosso acknowledges NYPD's efforts but says the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge remains unsafe and she can hear racing nightly. Abreu asks NYPD to bring attention to Bay Ridge and Coney Island and assist council members.

Kayla Santosuosso

And again, I see that the effort is taking place, but for some reason the Belt Parkway, at least in the Bay Ridge section, I can tell you by my ears every single night, it's not being solved.

Kayla Santosuosso

So I appreciate the efforts, but again, I'm not questioning whether work is happening.

Kayla Santosuosso

I'm saying, is it working for where, for my district?

Kayla Santosuosso

And I'm telling you it's not.

Kayla Santosuosso

So I don't know what further actions we can take, but it really is, you know, a dire, dire need.

Shaun Abreu

Well, let's bring attention to Bay Ridge and to the council members'district, please.

Shaun Abreu

Thank you, Chair.

Kayla Santosuosso

Thank you.

Shaun Abreu

And to Coney Island as well.

Shaun Abreu

Wherever it's taking place, please help out the council member, please.

Shaun Abreu

Understood.
