City Hall mum on whether Mamdani still wants to remove Ed Koch’s name from Queensboro Bridge

Mayor Zohran Mamdani previously supported removing Ed Koch's name from the Queensboro Bridge but has not clarified his current stance. City Council Speaker Julie Menin and others initially backed the renaming but later changed their positions. The Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, which opposes Koch's handling of the 1980s AIDS crisis, collected endorsements for the renaming.
