A cyclist sustained serious injuries on McGuinness Boulevard, which was intended to be safer for biking. The crash happened in an unprotected bike lane after a driver failed to yield. Originally, the Department of Transportation proposed a road diet to improve safety by reducing car lanes, but Mayor Adams halted these plans, prioritizing campaign donor interests over public safety. Activists highlighted design flaws, noting that a parking lane intended to protect cyclists is underutilized. The incident has raised concerns over ongoing safety measures in the area.
If they had built the one-lane road diet that we were initially promised, you'd have cars going slower and a lane of parked cars protecting that bike lane.
The Department of Transportation had originally hoped to remove one lane for cars along that portion of the roadway as part of a 'road diet' redesign, but Mayor Adams intervened.
