On the way home from our staff retreat yesterday, we strolled down the lovely Berry Open Street in Williamsburg, currently undergoing a permanent redesign. It was full of neighbors peacefully enjoying a gorgeous late summer evening. Good things are possible when there's the will!

MYTH: You can get on the LIE or Lincoln Tunnel instead of
"getting off of one highway" [BQE] to shave off a couple minutes.
FACT: The Lincoln Tunnel connects Manhattan to New Jersey & is under the Hudson River. The Queens Midtown Tunnel is in LIC.

Endangering 🚴♀️ by putting a bike lane on a truck route only to endanger residents & cyclists on residential streets that will see up to 40% of the diverted traffic from McGuinness Blvd - doesn’t make much sense now does it?
More importantly, it doesn’t seem too safe, now does it?

We heard a terrible accident that occurred last night on Nassau & McGuinness.
A witness informed us that a cyclist ran a red light & was hit by a car.
The witness approached the scene & discovered that the cyclist was intoxicated. The driver remained on scene. No arrest was made

This is a major concern by all of Greenpoint that

As a constituent on West Street, I am extremely concerned about the traffic, speeding and accidents that will only get worse when 12,000 vehicles find new routes in our neighborhood.

NYC DOT conducted a car volume study in 2021 at the height of the pandemic. According to their study, 800-1300 vehicles travel on McGuinness Blvd per hour during peak hours. Peak hours are from 6am - 8pm.
A single car travel lane can handle only 700 vehicles per hour.

McGuinness Blvd must be a safe thoroughfare and is wrong for a bike lane. The recently implemented bike lane and that opposition letter only prove us right.

This is 100% PREVENTABLE in Greenpoint. We should not have to risk emergency services reaching extremely time sensitive events in time because of a “road diet.” SIGN OUR PETITION 🖊️
Once 4 lane 9th Ave is now down to 2 lanes, forcing Ladders to reach further. Luckily, the 1st due TL35 is now a 95ft Tower & were able to just make the roof, but most Towers are 75ft. Having a longer ladder means having to navigate wider turns.

Shortly before 11pm, just blocks away from Banker's Anchor, a cyclist that appeared to be intoxicated ran a red light & was struck by a car on Nassau &McGuinness, according to the witness. Was the cyclist leaving the Bike + Brew, that was advertised by the “safety” crew?

Why was Kathy, a PAID TransAlt lobbyist allotted time to speak @ CB1 meeting?She doesn’t live in Greenpoint. Actual residents were not given time to speak though they had signed up to. CB1 didn’t allow anyone to speak in opposition of the plan & they were cut off if they did.

Less than half a block on 1 side of McGuinness Blvd (in between Nassau & Norman) was closed off due to construction, making it one lane. The traffic on the boulevard due to just half of one block being blocked off was backed up all the way to the Pulaski Bridge.

The traffic on the non obstructed 2 lane side, as you can see, was moving perfectly.

removing any lanes of traffic will make McGuinness Boulevard unsafe, polluted, and gridlocked.

TA named Bronwyn TA activist of the year. Kevin uses DOT to police constituents. He also lies about businesses supporting MMS. He did the same on Meeker & Berry. He has also harassed many women through out Greenpoint & Williamsburg.
But somehow our local pols are their besties

You continue to align yourself with that coalition that censors public feedback and admittedly said that they do not give any negative feedback of their design to the DOT. You are one sided, you do not believe in democracy. You also evade questions with seldom responses.

Reducing McGuinness Boulevard to one lane was never about safety and this is a prime example. This is also an example of blocking the road with obstacles to create congestion on purpose.

All the studies we have been shown are the effects of a road diet on a commercial zone, not an industrial business zone. Industrial businesses & workers in & surrounding Greenpoint are worried about the negative impact a road diet can have on their livelihoods.
