SUMMARY:Documentary Film Looks at Street Safety for Cyclists
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 5/21 @ 6:30PM\nYou may have seen a white bicycle installa
 tion\, called a “ghost bike\,” next to a street\, and wondered what it
  was doing there. It’s a tribute to a cyclist who lost their life in tra
 ffic\, a sadly too-frequent occurrence\, and one that Cleveland nonprofit 
 Bike Cleveland was founded 15 years ago to address. It’s not a Cleveland
  issue though — it’s a national one. (My hometown of Chicago has recen
 tly seen an epidemic of cyclist deaths in traffic.)\nThat’s the issue th
 at the 2025 documentary film Changing Lanes addresses. Directed by Ben Wol
 f and featuring David Byrne and Janette Sadik-Khan\, it explores street de
 sign and how it can be altered to make it safer for all users. It revolves
  around the issues raised when a beloved community member is killed in a h
 it-and-run crash in Brooklyn\, when a citizen group advocating for protect
 ed bike lanes on a dangerous street faces backlash from business and gover
 nment. “Changing Lanes situates this local struggle within broader hist
 orical\, environmental\, political\, and social contexts through interview
 s with politicians\, activists\, urban planners\, entrepreneurs\, and cult
 ural icons including musician David Byrne and legendary urban planner Jane
 tte Sadik-Khan – a compelling call to action for democracy at street lev
 el\,” the film’s promotion tells us.\nThe film will have a special scr
 eening at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque in partnership with 
 Bike Cleveland. The screening will be followed by a discussion featuring C
 leveland Director of City Planning Calley Mersmann\; urban planner/transpo
 rtation expert Angie Schmitt\; and Families for Safer Streets NEO chapter 
 leader Patty Knilans\, moderated by Bike Cleveland Executive Director Jaco
 b VanSickle.\nGo here for tickets.\ncinematheque/changing-lanes/\n[mappres
