The impact of the redesign is dramatic:
Surge in the number of people
biking on PPW.
Speeding went way down:
From 74% of cars to 20%.
Sidewalk cycling disappeared:
From 46% of cyclists to 3%.
Car traffic volumes and travel
times stayed the same.
Crashes resulting in injuries went
down 63%.
And it's popular. 70%+ approval.

know what I'm going to spend
my first year doing?" Mr.
Weiner said to Mr. Bloomberg,

“…a cyclist has an increased
heart rate and respiration.
That means that the act of
riding a bike results in
greater emissions of carbon
dioxide from the rider. Since
CO2 is a greenhouse gas
and a pollutant, bicyclists are
actually polluting when the
ride.”

How do you play “The Game”?
• Many editors, writers, and TV producers have
a narrative in mind.
• They will not deviate from it even when the
facts work against them.
• Your job: recognize their game, call it out…
…and then heighten it.
