This is exactly the norm. New York politicans are always doing bursts of road maintance and bragging and trying to outdo the previous one. I checked the last 15 years and found every single mayor did this. Not all of them filled in more than the previous which is why there is stats like Filled in X by X date or filled in X in a single day or filled in X over the term.

I like Mamdami but I also like living in reality I also think presenting this as Mamdami is the first guy to fill in potholes completely undermines peoples trust in the government. I am happy to be shown im wrong and that this is exceptional but from what I see its nothing more than a good headline.
