'This is a feel-great read for those of us who love cities, especially as pedestrians and bicyclists. ' an urban visionary who cuts through the gridlock.' 'If Moses had owned a pink fingernail of beguilement, he might have scored a bridge across the Atlantic.' 'Sadik-Khan manages to be equal parts Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses.'

Anyone whose memory is longer than a New York minute who can remember when New York wasn't the pedestrian and bike friendly envy of cities the world over.' The sort of book that should be read by every officeholder.But it is also a read for the rest of us. 'No one has done more in less time to rewrite the future of New York's streets.'- Reclaim
