New York City’s newly elected mayor planned to spend Saturday announcing a pedestrian safety plan. Then President Trump brought a captured foreign leader to his doorstep.
Mr. Mamdani, a staunch critic of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians, knew he would not extend the orders, but he had to decide how and when he would rescind them.
On his first day in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked every order that former Mayor Eric Adams issued after his indictment in September 2024 on federal corruption charges.
The bike-lane project, a source of corruption charges during the Adams administration, will be finished as planned in Greenpoint, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would finish the original, full plan for the roadway as soon as weather permitted, and that he would not be “bowed by big-money interests.”
