A spokesperson for New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson's office told CNN about 30 pay phones are expected to be removed by the end of March, with Johnson himself saying they would start in Hell's Kitchen."The antiquated and outdated pay phone booths take up much-needed sidewalk space," Johnson said in a statement to CNN.
