Thursday, December 23rd, 2010 “I am convinced that unless one understands the grain of the city at the physical level, the structure of the spaces and buildings, and how to make them seamless and connected – it is very difficult to create cities which are integrated, connected and sustainable for the future.”

Bridging the Gaps in Bicycling Networks: An advocate’s guide to getting bikes on bridges

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010CITY OF SEATTLE
We are at a turning point in transportation. We cannot sustain the financial, environmental and health costs of a transportation system that is overly reliant on automobiles.

We are prepared to commit to that path by prioritizing walking, biking and transit in how we use our streets, how we spend our dollars, and how we collaborate with county, state and federal governments.
