After 58-year-old Matthew Jensen, a teacher at Greenpoint’s PS 110, was killed in a hit and run collision on May 18th at the intersection of McGuinness Boulevard and Bayard Street, outraged community members have initiated a rallying cry to #MakeMcGuinnessSafe.
#MakeMcGuinnessSafe is a twitter hashtag used by the grieving Greenpoint community after NYC Assemblymember Emily Gallagher lead a rally on Thursday, May 27th, in McGolrick Park to support pedestrian and cyclist safety on McGuinness Blvd.Â
The more things change the more they remain the same. This Blvd. was Oakland St. back in the day and much smaller. They destroyed many homes to build it. Now they want to go back to a version of what it was.
