Zohran Mamdani: “DSNY will also deploy over 1,000 emergency snow shovelers…”

“As part of our primary snow clearing operation, LYFT has committed to greatly expand the number of Citi Bike Station snow clearing crews and expediting their Snow removal efforts. DOT will remain in contact with Lyft throughout the storm. DSNY will also deploy over 1,000 emergency snow shovelers beginning Sunday night, another early activation. To aid this effort, we have added an additional evening shift with 300 shovelers in advance of the height of the storm and we're utilizing 33 DSNY vans and two DSNY buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster.” (05:28–05:36)
