US EditionMamdani Revives McGuinness Safety Project Killed by Bribery Scandal
Mayor Mamdani restores full protected bike lanes on McGuinness Boulevard after bribery scandal halted prior plans, addressing safety concerns for one of Greenpoint’s deadliest streets.
- On Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced he is moving forward with street-safety upgrades on McGuinness Boulevard at Father Studzinski Square, advancing a redesign stalled by Former Mayor Eric Adams’s administration.
- Last year, Manhattan prosecutors alleged that Ingrid Lewis‑Martin accepted more than $10,000 and benefits, including $2,500 and $10,000 in catering at Gracie Mansion, arranged by Tony and Gina Argento, leading the Adams administration to scale back the project.
- The plan will include protected bike lanes in both directions on McGuinness Boulevard, with each direction featuring one travel lane, one parking-protected bike lane, and a parking/loading lane, and Mamdani said work will begin as soon as the weather warms.
- The upgrades will protect cyclists, reduce reckless driving, and make it safer and easier for children and parents to cross the street, fulfilling Mayor Zohran Mamdani's campaign promise to complete projects stalled by the prior administration.
- Amid broader fights over bike lanes, street‑safety advocates said McGuinness symbolizes corruption, while Zohran Mamdani pledged to finish DOT projects amid a Queens judge blocking an Astoria lane.
