Former NYC Transportation Commissioner Hank Gutman says the city's current plan to fix the BQE would lead to an even larger highway.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Hank Gutman, a former city transportation commissioner, thinks Mayor Eric Adams is taking the wrong approach to fixing a crumbling stretch of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
“At two lanes it would be wider than it is today,” said Gutman, who led the Department of Transportation during former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s final year in office. “And if they expanded it to three lanes, it would be dramatically wider.” During the interview, he said he was impressed with how quickly crews built a temporary roadway to replace a part of I-95 in Philadelphia after a bridge collapsed in June. But he cautioned against comparing it to the complicated repairs needed on the BQE.
He also said city officials should consider building parks over areas of the BQE south of the triple cantilever, where the roadway runs in a trench that slices through neighborhoods.
