Ask the Mayor: Vaccine Mandates; Rikers Quarantine; Traffic
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC, including that over 90% of DOE employees are meeting today's vaccine mandate deadline; the situation at Rikers Island; congestion pricing and Vision Zero; and more.
90% of NYC public school staff have now gotten at least one dose of the vaccine ahead of Monday’s mandate, @NYCMayorsOffice says @BrianLehrer. Mayor says he expects the number to go up today. Deadline is midnight tonight.

"I think we can strike the balance," @NYCMayor says when @BrianLehrer asks re @GovMurphy's threats in NJ Gov's effort to stop NYC congestion pricing. BdB says he's a big fan of Murphy & thinks can figure things out, like whether GW Bridge toll can mean exemption from CP charge.
