If McGuiness Blvd is one way with a bike lane, there will be even more congestion and more noise. Living near mcguiness there is a lot of noise and one way traffic will make that worse. There are bike lanes on Leonard and the quieter streets are safer for bikes. Please understand that longtime residents do own vehicles. Bikes are not the only form of transportation to be considered.

Please stop making unnecessary changes to our streets. Turning mcguiness into one lane in each direction will be a disaster. Don't change mcguiness boulevard

Dangerous Left Turn

Cars don’t have enough time to turn left onto McGuinness from Norman Ave and often make left turns quickly that get close to pedestrians crossing McGuinness.

Bike Parking Needed

There are very few places to safely lock up a bike on this stretch of Nassau, which is a popular commercial stretch and it would be easier to make more car-free trips if I were more confident I could securely lock up.

Bike Lane Requested

There are no north/south bike lanes on the east side of McGuinness, which forces people trying to get up to Pulaski or the other side of Greenpoint and vice-versa to places like McGolrick Park, to ride on busy streets and truck routes. Humboldt would be a great candidate for, at the very least, a conventional bike lane. But I would prefer if DOT removed a parking lane and made a protected bike lane. It would also provide an essential connection to the Greenpoint Ave bike lane, making trips between the two sides of Greenpoint safer and more predictable.

Drivers constantly turning left through oncoming traffic and not looking for pedestrians in the crosswalk.

PS 34 school buses currently drop off on Norman in front of the school but it creates a chaotic scene daily with drivers trying to pass through and honking. A safer alternative could be creating a loading zone at this corner along McGuinness for buses and delivery trucks to use throughout the day that would prove a safe pull off away from traffic flow. Wouldn't that be great?!

I oppose any DOT plan to removing vehicular moving lanes from McGuinness Blvd. If McGuinness were one moving lane in each direction, that extra volume would wind up on local Greenpoint streets, and it will bring traffic on McGuinness to a standstill. I'm a cyclist, and I see no need for bike lanes on McGuinness. We should be using side streets, they are safer. If DOT needs to paint extra bike lanes on side streets to lead to the Pulaski Bridge then do that. It will cost a lot less than $39 million and be a lot easier to alter if needed.
