WNYC News | Aug 12, 2010

Steven Goldsmith has been New York City's Deputy Mayor for Operations for six weeks. A former Republican Mayor of Indianapolis, Goldsmith was known for both cost-cutting and rebuilding that city's downtown. In New York, he's become associated with several new initiatives, including wireless water metering, a possible fee for garbage collection, and expansion of the private commuter van industry.

WNYC's Andrea Bernstein sat down with Goldsmith to discuss his views on congestion pricing, bus rapid transit and the controversy over New York's ever-expanding bike lane network.
