LIVE: NYC Mayor Mamdani Puts $25 Million Into Winter Safety as City Expands Code Blue and Snow Crews
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced a $25 million winter safety investment as NYC prepares for snowstorms, icy streets and extreme cold. The winter preparedness plan expands Code Blue outreach for homeless New Yorkers while strengthening the city’s snowplow fleet, salt supplies and emergency response operations.
New York’s Department of Sanitation has upgraded more than 650 plows, purchased 120 new snow blowers and secured over 500 million pounds of salt. More than 3,000 emergency snow shovelers have also registered to help clear streets and pedestrian areas. The administration is expanding snow-clearing routes to cover bus stops, sidewalks and other pedestrian infrastructure. The plan comes as forecasters anticipate a warmer, wetter El Niño winter, which could bring challenging rain, sleet and snow conditions. Follow the latest details of Mamdani’s winter preparations and what the investment means for New Yorkers.
