There’s been a lot of change on McGuinness Boulevard, and we don’t just mean recently. 62 years ago, then-Councilman Joseph T. Sharkey put forward a proposal to rename the stretch of road connecting the Pulaski Bridge and BQE once known as Oakland Street to McGuinness Boulevard.

This year's festival — running Nov. 8-9 at the Ukrainian National Home on Second Avenue in the Village — is headlined by "Changing Lanes," director Ben Wolf's documentary about the the joy, pathos, bathos and exhilaration of the McGuinness Boulevard bike lane saga.

In recent years, the redesign of McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint has emerged as a neighborhood flashpoint, sparking deep-seated debates about car culture, public space, gentrification, and environmental issues. Changing Lanes, a new documentary from Ben Wolf, traces the journey to implement the redesign and the impact it has had on Greenpoint.

A new documentary showcases the controversial redesign of McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

The film also highlights some of the larger changes in the city’s streetscape over the decades, including the impact mayors from John Lindsay to Mike Bloomberg have had on the use of city streets.

Ben Wolf, the filmmaker, joined NY1’s Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Friday to talk about the documentary, “Changing Lanes.”

Reminding New Yorkers of the new corruption allegations against two of Mayor Eric Adams’ associates, Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani campaigned at McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

It’s a bike safety project that ex-Adams’ senior adviser Ingrid Lewis-Martin allegedly took bribes to alter on behalf of a powerful area family.

Before Ingrid Lewis-Martin was indicted on bribery charges, she was one of the most powerful people in Mayor Eric Adams’s orbit. Now she may hasten his fall in New York.

Two members of a powerful Brooklyn theatrical production family bribed Mayor Adams's chief adviser to block the safety redesign of McGuinness Boulevard, court papers show.

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, the former chief adviser to Mayor Eric Adams, is accused of taking bribes in exchange for acting on behalf of favor-seekers across New York City.

Imagine destroying everything you've spent decades building to stop the city from building a bike lane. Welcome to Gina and Tony Argento's world.

What's going on with Lewis-Martin and Broadway Stages? And where does a road safety project fit into the nexus of alleged corruption inside the Adams City Hall?

The Adams administration will be reduce the number of lanes on McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, reversing a decision made last month.

The city Department of Transportation announced Wednesday it will transform the four-lane roadway into two lanes of traffic and one lane of parking in each direction. The parked cars will then serve as barriers for bike lanes.

Some advocacy groups are pushing back, saying the new design will divert traffic into residential neighborhoods, hurting nearby businesses and slowing the path of emergency vehicles.

Plans to redesign McGuinness Boulevard in Brooklyn are back at the drawing board after the Adams administration reversed course, scrapping a plan it previously approved.
