Council Member Lincoln Restler expressed frustration, stating, 'The priority of our community and the 10,000 people who signed a petition, and every elected official that represents Greenpoint, is to dramatically slow down traffic on this dangerous boulevard - and this plan fails to do so.' His remarks underscore community dissatisfaction with the bike lane installation plan, which many see as inadequate to address safety concerns.
DOT spokesperson Vin Barone defended the plan, asserting, 'This redesign for McGuinness Boulevard will make this corridor much safer for everyone, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.' This statement reflects the agency's position on the project's potential benefits.
