Let me assure you, there isn't anybody walking up and down my sidewalk these days,

This was someone who was not involved in anything risky; he was walking down a sidewalk to his apartment. It doesn't get much more mundane than that.

If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptable...

I think the sidewalk program, I think we need to bring that back. I think that was a good idea. If we could find the money to do that again, we need to bring that program back. It's part of the infrastructure of this city. It makes it look better and you see a lot of people doing a lot more walking because of it.

They've told him that he could be walking without a limp in as few as 10 days.

The sidewalk has been out there 100 years,
