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
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.
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.
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.
Do NOT redesign McGuinness. Bike lanes should be on quieter residential streets where they will be much safer (there is already such a lane on Eckford). Any narrowing of McGuinness will divert truck traffic to nearby residential streets, which will lead to a dramatic decline in quality of life on those streets - in addition to being unsafe. Furthermore, the businesses on McGuinness are heavily automobile-oriented. These businesses are predominantly working class and blue collar. A rediesign would hurt them in order to benefit wealthier cyclists.
Greenpoint Ave & Kingsland Ave is the site of the "Gateway to Greenpoint"community master plan. It is supposed to create an entry point to open space projects. This area and McGuinness should use similar eco design principles.
