NYC Restores Original McGuinness Blvd Bike Lane Plan

The Department of Transportation reinstates a traffic reduction plan following political and legal controversies.

The NYC Department of Transportation has returned to its original plan for McGuinness Boulevard, reducing car lanes and adding protected bike lanes.
This decision reverses a previous compromise influenced by local business interests and political connections.
The original plan was supported by the Make McGuinness Safe group, formed after a fatal 2021 hit-and-run incident on the boulevard.
Recent legal actions involving Mayor Adams and his aides have coincided with the restoration of the initial plan.
Community leaders and safety advocates have praised the decision, emphasizing the importance of safer streets for all New Yorkers.
