Mayor Mamdani has expressed support for a campaign to reopen Columbia University’s historic College Walk, a pedestrian path that was closed in 2017 following a student protest. The move comes as advocates argue the closure has disrupted the neighborhood and limited public access to a key green space. Critics of the closure have long pushed for its restoration, citing safety concerns and the path’s role in connecting local communities. The university has faced pressure to reconsider its decision amid ongoing debates over public access and institutional accountability.
