"This is the beginning of a road we will travel together," the new mayor said after swearing in.

De Blasio's inauguration ceremony will be held at noon Wednesday where he'll be sworn-in again by former President Bill Clinton on the steps of City Hall using a Bible once owned by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
