"It is a new era for New York City and a new era for New York City DOT, Flynn said at a press conference at Father Studnizki Square. We said we would hit the ground running and that's exactly why we're at McGuinness Boulevard on just the third day of this new administration. For far too long, a critical street safety redesign developed by committed public servants at DOT was set aside, even though the need was clear and the planning work was done."
"New Yorkers deserve to be safe no matter how they commute whether they bike, walk, or drive. That's why, as one of my first acts as Mayor, my administration is committing to restarting implementation of parking-protected bike lanes on McGuinness Boulevard and complete its redesign, Mamdani said in a statement. New Yorkers deserve an administration that gets right to work to deliver genuine street safety."
On his third day in office Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced implementation of the full, originally planned redesign of McGuinness Boulevard after the project was derailed by the previous administration. The Department of Transportation, led by newly appointed commissioner Mike Flynn, will install parking-protected bike lanes along the northern section from Calyer Street to the Pulaski Bridge and remove one vehicle lane in each direction. Flynn called it a new era for the city and for DOT, and said the upgrades will make it easier for pedestrians to cross, protect cyclists, and reduce reckless driving. A similar design already exists on the southern half from Meeker Avenue to Calyer Street. Construction will begin once weather warms.
