Summary

Featuring David Byrne and Janette Sadik-Khan, CHANGING LANES explores why streets are designed as they are and how to make them safer. After a beloved teacher is killed in a hit-and-run in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, residents push to convert a dangerous four-lane boulevard into a two-lane street with protected bike lanes. Backlash grows, political support wavers, and neighbors unite to fight for a safer, more livable city.
