Though many approved of the changes brought forth by Sadik-Khan, her tenure was still riddled with media controversies and a lawsuit regarding her policies on bike lanes, plazas and bike share programs.
Currently, she chairs the National Association of Transportation Officials/Global Designing Cities Initiative and works with mayors around the U.S. as part Bloomberg Associates to help innovate transportation around the country.
