- Q18085750 abstract "McGuinness Boulevard is a boulevard in Greenpoint, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It runs between Interstate 278 to the south to the Pulaski Bridge in the north, which connects to Queens and Jackson Avenue (NY 25A). South of Driggs Avenue, it is called McGuinness Boulevard South.A major street going through Greenpoint, it was formerly known as Oakland Street, which went from Driggs Avenue to the Newtown Creek. The road was widened considerably in 1954 after the Pulaski Bridge opened, replacing the Vernon Avenue Bridge to the west. In 1964, it was renamed after former local Democratic alderman Peter McGuinness.The boulevard has a reputation as a dangerous speedway, with three pedestrians and one cyclist dying on the boulevard between 2008 and 2013. It has consequently been compared to Queens Boulevard, Queens's "Boulevard of Death", due to the fatality rate, which is one of the highest among streets boroughwide. According to one study, at the intersection with Nassau Avenue alone, drivers violated traffic laws almost four times per minute. As a result, the speed limit was lowered to 25 miles per hour from 30 mph in 2014 as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's Vision Zero plan. Even so, locals are requesting speed cameras, left-turn traffic lights, and pedestrian "countdown" signals.Other controversies have arisen on the street, including a planned homeless shelter at 400 McGuinness Boulevard, which was temporarily canceled due to neighborhood opposition. Its opening was delayed to September 2012.".
