On March 27, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the first-ever Mayor's Municipal Madness - a bracket-style competition of city fixes - which resulted in more than 11,600 New Yorkers from across the city voting for a project to be fixed personally by the Mayor in their own neighborhood.
"Welcome to the mayor's municipal madness. The first ever competition of city fixes. City government fixes thousands of tiny little problems every year, like a broken basketball ram or a bump on a bike path," said Mayor Mamdani in a video of the announcement , alongside New York Liberty Guard Natasha Cloud. "Small frustrations like these are our job to worry about so you can focus on the big things."
While City government makes thousands of small fixes year-round, Mayor's Municipal Madness invites them into the process, encourages friendly competition between New Yorkers, and highlights the city workers who keep New York running. The best part of this competition is that everything on the bracket gets fixed.
Voting is open from 10AM to 10PM daily:
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
