New York deploys full civic apparatus for first Knicks ticker-tape parade in 53 years

New York City mobilizes June 18 parade through the Canyon of Heroes, distributing 2,500 pounds of shredded paper across 22 buildings, halting construction along the route, and expanding Staten Island Ferry capacity. The logistical commitment—from cleanup crews staged by the Sanitation Department to contracted ferry overtime—reflects the franchise's first championship since 1973.
