"Mayor Adams says he cares about safety, except when it comes to McGuinness Boulevard," said Council Member Lincoln Restler, highlighting the contradiction in the mayor's priorities.
McGuinness Boulevard has logged nearly 2,000 reported crashes since 2011, injuring more than 500 people and resulting in three fatalities according to city data.
The shift from a proposed $40-million safety redesign to a plan that fails to slow down drivers illustrates the alarming trend of prioritizing business interests over public safety.
Advocates have been calling for safer conditions on the street since 2009 after tragic incidents, showing the long-standing demand for action against the road's dangers.
