New York City has launched 'Operation Front Door,' a crackdown aimed at addressing issues affecting tourism and local residents in Midtown Manhattan. The initiative, led by the NYPD in collaboration with other city agencies, targets illegal pedicab operations and vendors. The operation is part of a broader strategy by the administration of Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer, to embed NYPD members into various city agencies. This move comes as the police commissioner and other top officials are under federal scrutiny. The operation covers key areas such as Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.
