Nearly a year after backing away from its plan to overhaul McGuinness Boulevard, the city announced Tuesday its plans for the southern half of the busy thoroughfare — breaking from what it had initially proposed last summer.
Rather than removing a lane of vehicle traffic between Calyer Street and Meeker Avenue, as had been suggested last year, the Department of Transportation will continue the design already in progress on the northern half of the road: protected bike lanes along each curb, with two vehicle traffic lanes open during peak hours. Between 7 p.m.-7 a.m., the right-hand vehicle traffic lane will become a parking lane, meant to slow car traffic on the fast-moving street.
