Iโ€™m surprised the mayor of NYC answered his questions

https://greenpointers.com/2023..../07/06/mayor-asks-do

Excerpt:

Streetsblog NYC reports that Adams has asked the DOT to rethink their previously chosen plan to redesign McGuinness, a plan that meant whittling down the major thoroughfare from four lanes to two. Though Adams had previously shown support for safer street measures as a former borough president, it seems that he has now yielded to the desires of major campaign donors and local business owners, the Argento family, who have donated more than $15,000 to his election campaign.

The Argento family, who owns the major film and TV production company, Broadway Stages, faced criticism from the community after reporting from THE CITY revealed that several businesses and LLCs listed as opposing the redesign had ties to Broadway Stages. The company recently hosted a town hall at one of its soundstages with DOT representatives and elected officials alike. Though Broadway Stages advertised the event as open to the public, several activists from an oppositional group were barred from entering the property, despite previously registering online as requested.

In June, the New York Times reported that Lewis-Martinโ€™s activities as an Adams advisor โ€œraised ethical concerns, including her work to boost the mayor through political action committees funded by donors with business before the city.โ€ Lewis-Martin has also fought against other Open Streets measures in Brooklyn. Streetsblog NYC also noted that the town hall meeting at Broadway Stages featured an appearance from Brooklyn Democratic Party leader and Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, whose district does not overlap with North Brooklyn and to whom the Argento family has donated over $80,000 in campaign contributions. Hermelyn is a strong Adams supporter whose husband eventually resigned from a position in the Adams administration after questions arose about a potential conflict of interest:

Disappointing that you are simply repeating an anti Argento narrative when this story should take the time to look at how the community is legitimately divided. By accepting one sideโ€™s rhetoric โ€œ they are the only ones interested in safetyโ€ you miss all those regular folks who say make the road safe ,which could get everyoneโ€™s support if you focus on it .Hint: why canโ€™t we have full bike lanes and keep our car lanes and get safety ? .Sad to see Greenpointers โ€œout of its healing role and not doing the foot work that would show you how many regular everyday Greenpointers oppose the plan as proposed .,Why not leave Argento out for once along with Transportation Alternatives and Mutual Aide and talk to the many real Greenpointers who have a real difference of opinion on how to make the road safer ?
