STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Months after protected bike lanes and a major redesign narrowed Seaview Avenue in Ocean Breeze to a single travel lane each way, the project continues to stir controversy, with local officials citing rising “driver frustration” and new concerns about pedestrian safety.
State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, a Democrat representing the North Shore and a part of Brooklyn, also shared complaints about the Seaview Avenue redesign during a bipartisan coalition in September 2025.
“We have seen the failure of this design that DOT came up with at Seaview Avenue. Almost 100% of my constituents are complaining about it,” Scarcella-Spanton said at the time.
