Join us for a keynote talk by Janette Sadik-Khan, Principal at Bloomberg Associates and author of Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution. Presented by We Plan CLE, an APA Cleveland program, in partnership with The City Club of Cleveland.

One of the leading voices on urban transportation policy, Janette Sadik-Khan is internationally respected for her transformative redesigns of New York City streets and rapid-implementation strategies that are being replicated today in cities around the world.

She was Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation from 2007–2013 under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, leading one of the most sweeping revitalizations of the city’s streets in a half-century.

During her tenure, New York City added nearly 400 miles of bike lanes and the first parking-protected bike paths in North America. The department she led set in motion more than 60 plazas across the city, including the historic plazas that shut Broadway through Times Square, sparking economic recovery throughout the area. She worked with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to launch the city’s first six rapid bus lines and oversaw hundreds of intersection and street redesigns that contributed to the city’s record-low traffic fatalities. Sadik-Khan oversaw the 2013 launch of Citi Bike, the nation’s largest bike share system, which to date has been used more than 22 million times and is doubling in size to 12,000 bikes.

Join us for a conversation on what urban revolution looks like and the role transportation plays in improving the quality of life in cities.

Tickets include lunch: $20 City Club members/$35 nonmembers; full table purchase available. Event will be held at the City Club of Cleveland, 850 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH.
