03.18.10
Janette Sadik-Khan, the woman responsible for making New York's streets pedestrian, bike, and business
friendly, is giving a
talk tonight, Thursday, March 18 2010, at Occidental College's Keck Theater (1600 Campus Road, Los
Angeles, CA 90041) at 7 p.m. - and we plan on being there!
Sadik-Khan is in town for the Street
Summit 2010 - a series of workshops and panels being held this Saturday, March 20, 2010 at LA Trade
Tech to make our streets more accessible and more friendly for everyone: cyclists, pedestrians, children,
seniors, all Angelenos!
Join us at the Flying Pigeon LA bike shop (located at 3714 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065) at 6:30
p.m. and we can ride together to see what Sadik-Khan has to say. Ride departs the shop at 6:45 p.m.
We've followed Sadik-Khan's (or JSK, as she is referred to on Streetsblog in
New York) tenure as head of the New York Department of Transportation over the past couple of years,
envious of New York's transformation, hoping that Los Angeles could some day surpass what New York has
done.
If you're not a Streetblog junkie (which we understand), here is some more background information on "JSK":
In New York City, Commissioner Sadik-Kahn has overseen an unprecedented transformation of streets.
After generations of auto-centric transportation planning, New York City streets are being re-purposed to
move and connect people over cars. Sadik-Khan has implemented numerous popular and innovative
projects--from the pedestrianization of Times Square to the construction of over 200 miles of
bike facilities in just 2 years --all of which are redefining
streets as public places for people to utilize and inhabit in better ways. Her success has gained her world
wide notoriety and she will be speaking at the 2010 StreetSummit to ellaborate on her efforts.

p.s. Sorry the formatting of this post is fucked up. I blame Midnight Ridazz as this shit looks clean in every
editor I put it in. Why is MR's site adding line-breaks to my shit? The site no longer accepts title tags for links
and images? WTF.
p.p.s. The time of this event is posted as starting at different times online. We got a call form someone at Oxy
about it and switched the ride time to get there just as some sort of short film thing is taking place. Can't miss
a minute of this awesome talk!
