Mcguinness Boulevard - Norman Ave - Meserole Ave

McGuinness is a dangerous highway spitting the middle of a residential neighborhood. It leads directly to a major bike bridge but is basically unbikeable. There needs to be real protected bike infrastructure here. Not the joke, fake protected lanes like you've used on Grand, that are fully accessible to cars. REAL PROTECTION. Just look at what the rest of the world is doing, this isn't that hard.

truck deliveries for key food cause trucks to occupy the entire east side sidewalk and force pedestrians to walk in the street near speeding cars. absolutely treacherous.

dropping pin randomly for this one, but every inch of this city is terrible for novice cyclists, and for many seasoned cyclists as well, because vehicles are routinely given priority. the better and truly safer the bike lanes are, the more people will use them. they should be narrow enough that cars cannot enter them and protected by jersey barriers or steel bollards.

create 2 way bike lane from PB bike lane exit/entrance along west side of McGuinness, as far as possible (to BQE). PROTECTED BIKE LANE (not paint, not flex posts - actual jersey barriers or similar)

I personally cross McGuinness Blvd several times a day and have never had an issue with cars. I have however almost been taken out by crazy cyclists who do not follow any rules. They go faster then cars and take corners without looking. Bicycles do not belong on McGuinness and need to be treated as hazardous. McGuinness is safe and if you take out a lane it will cause so much traffic and noise/air pollution doing more harm then good

It seems to me that the meetings are set-up to give people a chance to blow off steam and this agency isn't required to respond. I'd like an answer to these questions; what can your department do for us?, do you coordinate with other agencies?, how long will this process take-think of the simplest suggestions-and give us a timeline. Is any department within the NYCDOT interested in slowly with lots of notice and organization getting rid of McGuinness Blvd.? Can your agency come up with a process that will provide off-the-street parking for residents? dedicated streets for bicyclers? for public transportation? Or will we be saddled with pointless painted lines and bike barriers no one will pay any attention to? are you able to get cops to monitor traffic? speed cameras [fyi if they are on McG they are shut off]?

Install a wide, fully-protected, sidewalk-level bike lane on both sides of the street. Two-way bike lanes cause more injuries because drivers don't look both ways

As a driver in Greenpoint, it is difficult to navigate because the cyclists do not follow the traffic laws of the street. If you attend a community meeting to voice your concerns as a driver, your opinions are disregarded and ignored because you have opposing views. Parking is incredibly difficult to find throughout Greenpoint and getting rid of two lanes on McGuinness will do nothing but add excessive traffic, less parking, no guarantee for biker safety, and added air pollution. When suggested about using medians as a biker pathway, the idea was disregarded by the group representative because it went against the majority and wasn't brought to DOT attention until the driver who brought up the plan suggested it to DOT. There are other ways of making McGuinness safer however, bikers should not be allowed to ride there. Leonard St. bike paths are never being utilized though cyclists claim side streets to be "so dangerous", which is false. The Polish driving community is 100% excluded from all conversation about reducing lanes of traffic because of a language barrier that is being ignored to push the cyclist agenda. Parking is already reduced because of Citibikes, film studios, private driveways, fire hydrants, and alternate side parking. Please consider the opinions of the entire Greenpoint community as opposed to solely listening to cyclists opinions. Cyclists do not care if individuals in the working class need to use their cars to go to work, are handicapped, or are elderly.

Cars at the gas station regularly go up on the sidewalk. The driveways for the gas station are too wide and not clearly marked so cars use the whole sidewalk. It is unsafe to walk on the sidewalk along the gas station.
