The Adams administration has paused the 34th Street busway project following opposition highlighted by the New York Post, despite widespread support from local elected officials and the community. Mayor Adams often contradicts public representatives' preferences when a minority resists street redesigns. Candidate Zohran Mamdani has condemned Adams for prioritizing special interests over community needs and undermining his earlier commitments. In contrast, Governor Hochul reported success with congestion pricing, revealing improved traffic conditions and reduced pollution, contrary to previous forecasts from the MTA.
"If your standard for transit improvements/projects is 'if there's literally any local opposition, we won't do it' then you simply won't do anything."
"Adams has a penchant for going against the wishes of the public's democratically elected representatives when a loud minority opposes a Department of Transportation street redesign."
