About the Mayor
April 25, 2011
New York City Mayor Michael A. Bloomberg signed a bill on April 11 adding the name of former Mayor Ed Koch to the Queensboro Bridge. "This is probably the very best structure that I could be identified with because it's in my [former congressional] district, it's a workhorse bridge. It's a bridge that everybody loves," Koch said.
The 86-year-old Koch was the city's 105th mayor. He helped repair the Queensboro and other bridges while in office from 1978 through 1989.
