Mayor Mamdani Announces Completion of McGuinness Boulevard Redesign in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Mike Flynn have announced the completion of the McGuinness Boulevard redesign in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The project delivers parking-protected bike lanes along the entire corridor, from Meeker Avenue to the Pulaski Bridge. This redesign aims to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers by shortening pedestrian crossing distances, slowing turning vehicles, and preventing dangerous driving. The improvements also provide a protected connection for thousands of cyclists traveling through Greenpoint. Mayor Mamdani had committed to completing the original redesign shortly after his inauguration in January, a project long championed by neighborhood residents and advocates, particularly the 'Make McGuinness Safe' coalition, following traffic fatalities on the boulevard.
