Great Interview with NYC Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan

Good detail on how NYC is reclaiming streets for humans.

The 11-minute film, a long one by Streetfilms’ standard, is “required viewing” for Livable Streets advocates everywhere.  Sadik-Khan sounds more like Josef Bray-Ali than Rita Robinson as she explains that streets are for people, and that design and enforecement dictate how people view and use a street.  The best streets are more about creating a place for the public than just moving cars, a concept that seems lost on officials at LADOT.  Let’s just say this, at no point does anyone in the video fret that adding a bike lane will take space away from cars.
