McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint Is Borough’s Deadliest
Mon, Apr 26, 2010
The hit-and-run death of Neil Chamberlain last week on McGuinness Boulevard is the result of systematic “lawless driving” in the area, a study by Transportation Alternatives found. Since 2008, two people have been killed and two seriously injured on the strip. Volunteers found over eight hours, drivers ran red lights 150 times, yapped on their mobile phones 89 times, and failed to yield to pedestrians 114 times at the boulevard’s intersection with Calyer Street.

I have lived on Mcguinness Blvd all 23 yrs of my life and i have never had a problem crossing the street. I sympathize and know full well that drivers around here are crazy and speed constantly, but knowing all that ppl need to pay more attention to crossing the streets. Not trying to be rude, just stating a fact.
I agree. There’s a reason there are always flowers on the median in the middle of McGuinness. Stay on the sidewalk and wait for the walk sign!
