The redesign will remove one lane of vehicle traffic on the southern half of McGuinness Boulevard in favor of a parking-protected bike lane and improved pedestrian access.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez emphasized the project's goal, stating, "Our redesign will make McGuinness Boulevard safer for everyone on the street - whether you're biking, walking, or riding a bicycle."
Local advocates have long awaited this change, with Mayor Eric Adams' previous plans facing criticism as the community pushed for more comprehensive safety measures on McGuinness Boulevard.
Despite some delays and changes in plans, the southern redesign aims to enhance safety with pedestrian islands and designated loading zones, expecting substantial completion by year's end.
