NYC Reporter Demands Knicks Street Signs Stay Up: Overtime Proposed

NYC Street Signs: A Knicks Block Controversy New York City, June 1, 2025 – A short video circulating online has brought attention to a seemingly minor yet intriguing issue: the temporary street signs celebrating the Knicks' playoff success. The video, filmed on West 25th Street near Mikal Bridges Block, shows a man who identifies himself as a reporter expressing concern about the signs' removal deadline. "NYC has to take down the Knicks blocks ASAP," the reporter states in the video. He argues that the signs should remain up longer than 24 hours after a potential loss. He proposes a solution: "Hit up some union guys and tell them, hey, we'll pay you overtime. We'll pay you three times overtime." The video, which has already garnered thousands of views, highlights a small but relatable aspect of city life: the temporary nature of celebratory displays. While the removal of the signs is a routine matter, the video injects a touch of humor and raises questions about the balance between timely cleanup and the public's desire to enjoy these fleeting tributes.
