He's rebuilding the city-owned portion of the BQE, which is about a mile and a half of the BQE's entire 35.5 mile long length.

Give him points for doing what he can with what he has, but he's not replacing the entire thing.

Car brain infects socialists too. Mamdani isn't perfect, but let's just hope he's better than those that came before him.
