Cyclists take to the streets of Brooklyn to protest reduced McGuinness Boulevard redesign

North Brooklyn residents and street-safety advocates took to the streets of Greenpoint on their bicycles Tuesday night in protest of the city’s stripped-back redesign of McGuinness Boulevard.

Protestors accused Mayor Eric Adams of ignoring the community and his own Department of Transportation by deciding the city would abandon plans to overhaul the southern half of the roadway and instead extend the design it has already installed north of Calyer Street.
