This week on the Talking Headways podcast we’re joined by Cardozo Law professor Michael Pollack to talk about his new book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America’s Most Overlooked Resource. Michael discusses who manages, owns, and feels ownership of sidewalks and advocates for a Department dedicated to them. We also talk about the nexus between sidewalks and roads, the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Denver's successful funding and maintenance referendum.
