DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn on Mayor Mamdani's vision for New York streets

WNYC News | Jan 22

Mayor Mamdani is promising a bold new vision for New York City's streets. He has so far pushed forward new projects long stalled under the Adams administration and he rose to prominence with his call for fast and free buses.

Key to new administration's vision for the streetscape is Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn. Flynn joined WNYC's Michael Hill to discuss his plans for the city.
