Ariel KadouriDon't let Mayor Adams and a few businesses kill the plan to make McGuinness safe!
If you haven't please check out the campaign and sign the petition https://linktr.ee/mcguinness
Don't let the astroturfing & money win. The community deserves better.
Unfortunately the mayor caved to a few business owners and his car loving aide over the safety of the community.

The city Department of Transportation apparently has decided to walk back its own plan for a street redesign on McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint after a top aide to the mayor told him businesses hated the plan. https://www.thecity.nyc/2023/7/6/23786520/argento-eric-adams-mcguinness-redesign
CargoBikeLife@akadouri @atthenius Question: Do you think it’s helpful or not for someone who lives 200 miles from NYC but go there sometimes to sign? I’d like to because I care but I don’t want to “water down” the results. Thanks for sharing this by the way!
@CargoBikeLife @atthenius It's fine to sign! It should ask you for your location and organizers can filter out the stats from there.
I hope the crowd yesterday helped dispel the "young bikers who don't live here" trope. There were people of all ages, local parents/kids, local officials, business owners, and most of the crowd was on foot.
legraLeGraI am still coping with my guilt from uptown that we let a similar thing happen to Fordham Road (207 street in upper Manhattan) and lost.
meetings and visioning sessions for years— similarly, most folks want safety and efficient public transit, but a $a few of well funded 💩s did not and killed it.
Everyone in nyc is pulling for McGuiness safety because shining the light on this governance 💩 might actually make positive changes elsewhere easier in the future.
