NEW YORK (WABC) — New York City Council will held a hearing to discuss the Mamdani administration’s response to recent snowstorms.
The hearing was originally scheduled for this past Monday, but was postponed due to the historic blizzard that hit the Tri-State area.
Officials had to answer questions about the city’s snow removal operations.
Lawmakers also focused on accessibility concerns during the storm that hit the city in January.
Acting Sanitation Commissioner Javier Lojan testified during the hearing.
Meantime, all streets on Staten Island have now received one pass from a plow post snow. Some need more, especially dead ends and bus lanes, and the work is continuing.
The Sanitation Department says it made big progress on Forest Avenue and promises the St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be great.
