Mayor Michael Bloomberg has big plans for this city.

With the mayoral election a week away, he discussed his vision for New York with NYU Wagner students yesterday morning at the Kimmel Center. The event was sponsored by the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service's Urban Planning Student Association.

Bloomberg took the stage and discussed his December 2013 plan for the city, specifically citing changes in transportation, environment, affordable housing, safety and education.

"We have the experience, we have the infrastructure," he said.

Bloomberg also addressed his hopes to make New York the greenest city in the U.S. He wants to completely expand the city's parks system and plant 650,000 more trees. He said he hopes to completely transform the waterfront, especially around the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge, saying he wants to "make our waterfront almost unrecognizable compared to what it was in 2001."

Students' reactions to the mayor's plans were mixed. Second-year Wagner student Hallie Caplan said she was impressed by Bloomberg's plan, but questioned some of it.

"I wonder about the fiscal integrity of all this," Caplan said.

Affordable housing and education are also included in Bloomberg's plan. If elected to another term, he said he hopes to see more middle class families move to the city, with superior school systems being the incentive.

"I believe we're at a tipping point in our school system, and it's a point of no return," Bloomberg said.

He also discussed potential subway changes and said he hopes to add an express F train.

But second-year Wagner student Alan Biller said he is skeptical about Bloomberg's transportation objectives and the motivation behind them.

"It's going to be interesting to see if all of these initiatives get carried out," Biller said.
