City says ‘Slow down on McGuinness Boulevard!’
Back in the 1960s, Simon and Garfunkel sang “Slow down, you move too fast.” That warning could also be given to motorists who drive on McGuiness Boulevard in Greenpoint, according to a local lawmaker.
But Assemblyman Joseph Lentol (D-Greenpoint-Williamsburg) said drivers aren’t the only people at fault for speeding. The New York City’s Department of Transportation practically hid the speed limit signs on the busy boulevard, Lentol said.
That’s going to change, he said.
Lentol said he received a letter from DOT Brooklyn Borough Commissioner Joseph Palmieri explaining that existing speed limit signs along McGuinness Boulevard will be relocated for better visibility. The work is scheduled to be completed by May.
