Mayor’s Municipal Madness

From chipped paint to broken fences, there’s no problem too small.

Welcome to Mayor’s Municipal Madness – a competition of city fixes where we all win.

On the next page, you’ll see sixteen repairs our city agencies – the Departments of Transportation, Parks and Recreation, and Sanitation – will complete within the first hundred days of the administration (weather permitting, of course). These are tangible fixes to the daily frustrations New Yorkers experience across the five boroughs – from torn windscreens at Staten Island tennis courts, to broken benches in Brooklyn, to missing trail markers in Queens.

Every one of these problems will be solved. Only one will be fixed by the Mayor (and maybe a special guest or two) by Day 100 of the administration. That’s where you come in.

Over the next week, we’ll be asking you to vote (bracket-style) on which fix makes it to the final round. Voting is open 10AM to 10PM every day.

Round 1 (Top 16 to Top 8): Friday, 3/27 - Saturday, 3/28
Round 2 (Top 8 to Top 4): Sunday, 3/29 - Monday, 3/30
Semi Finals (Top 4 to Top 2): Tuesday, 3/31  - Wednesday, 4/1
Championship: Thursday, 4/2 - Friday, 4/3

City agencies make repairs like these all year long. Requests come in from elected officials, community nonprofits, and from people just like you calling into 311.

Some repair requests are life-safety issues, and agencies work to address those immediately. Other non-urgent fixes are scheduled according to priority and availability of resources.
