I just looked Max up on Google and only just found out about his death. I am very sorry to hear about it. I took creative writing and creative poetry classes and a class on Romantic Poetry with Max at La Trobe University between 1998 and 2001. I remember going to his tutorial they day after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it was a very sombre ocassion. I remember Max then wrote a quite wonderful poem about the helplessnes he felt at international global geopolitical events. I was just thinking of it in relation to the events in Israel/Palestine currently. I would really like to find that poem he wrote.

We need the 3 E's of Vision Zero Engineering Education Enforcement In that order.

So few people present.... Such a small audience. And most of the youtube comments come from Dutch people. Like me. There is such a LONG way to go in Canada and this part of the world to make their cities more fluent in terms of personal transportation. Their infrastructure is o far away from us in The Netherlands in all ways conceivable. Bizarre. It seems like almost nobody cares about personal freedom there. You candrive a ar and buy a gun easy but not cycle to buy a loaf af bread.

Communists,Spew!!!!!!

Equality is what exists in the US. Equity is a Marxist fantasy.

She looks like the type of person a great guy would leave. She such a nag 😮

👎🏾Kate’s idea is to lock up homeless people for not being able to support themselves. She’s also anti-abortion. I feel bad for any women that knows her 👎🏾

@57:30 The problem is not the unbalanced property tax generation. The problem is incorrect valuations on the large developed parcel on the left.

I live in the Netherlands. Just saw a presentation of Fred Young a landscape architect, showing to a group of neigbourhood people in Seatle, a presentation of our bike culture. How our infrastructure is organised, how we use our bikes, how our traffic sytem is adjusted to the everyday use of bikes , in the cities. Basicly the all in all conclusion was; that we spent a lott of our tax-money in the infrastucture in general in keeping everybody as safe as possible in traffic. I like to see the initiatives from different neighbourhood to implement a more friendly street life in Seatle. I hope that the city counsel is willing to support these initiatives, cause change in the way people live together can be a strong motivator of sense of community. And from that comes a more willing mentality to come to a consensus in how to share the public spaces, and meet eachother while on a bike , or being on foot. So if ever this initiative coming from the city of Seatle could be an example for more cities in the US, the better. I guess the strenght of a nation depends on the strenght of community, depends on the strenght of being together as citizens, as in find a common ground that goes beyond colour of skin , or being rich or poor..or being democrat or republican. The Netherlands was the first nation to recognise the independency of the United States of America as a free nation. Young men and woman from the US military gave their life to liberate our little country the Netherlands from german occupation and end ww2. The declaration of independence of the United States of America is beginning in writing with these words; "WE THE PEOPLE..."...it is a fact it is not propaganda..it is there in writing, therefore every initiative to get people together..in that peacefull manner, from grassroot neighbourhood initiative, for getting bike friendly roads, to a more sustainable healthcare system, a more honest tax-contribution from the richest of the richest, to restore the failing infra -structure all across the nation, to be more aware of poverty and hunger, to be more aware of the poorest , and the obscene difference between the have and the have not...that can all be history of the 20th century to leave behind. Now more then ever the nation is at perril. The only way for the US to get back up there, as a shining example of freedom and democracy and equality as a nation, the only way is to remember those first powerfull words in your own declaration of independence..."WE THE PEOPLE..."

Euhmmm...The Nazis fire bombed Rotterdam intentionally during a ceasefire ,and demanded the Dutch to surrender unconditionally , or Amsterdam & The Hague would be next. It's all in the past, and yes it's forgotten and forgiven...... But it was no bleeding 'miscommunication ! ' 😡

fell asleep, autoplay lead me here

It all comes to the point off cost. Well if you have less road accidents with bike lanes then without you do not have to think about cost

What a load of propaganda garbage.

If you wan´t to accomplish something leave your political preference out of it, especially if you don't know what you're talking about.

One thing that keeps on surprising me as a dutch person is that in the discussion but also in the counter arguments for biking, people seem to think there is only one choice. So you either bike, use a car or public transport. Biking is just another option for transport, so if there indeed is a lot of snow, or you need to go to a hilly environment you can use a car or train like I do. I bike much less in winter than in the other seasons. And if the roads have iced up I don't bike at all. But I can still walk, or have other options. And biking shouldn't be made available for the die hard biking community. It needs to be as accessible as walking without you making a statement by biking. That is why you should bike with a helmet on. Because when you go walking you also don't wear a helmet. Biking itself brings so much health that it counters the risk factors. However older people with electric bikes constitute a large proportion of the insured and deaths on a bike in the Netherlands. Perhaps that could be an acception. On the other hand, Americans have a much higher risk of dying in a car, than dutch cyclist do in the Netherlands. So why not demand helmets in cars if the risk is so high?

45 years ago the netherlands was like the usa. The insane amount of kids getting killed in traffic got moms to the streets. 45 years later we got a good system and saver. Its starts with a plan and just keep going.

Do know that the Dutch police officers often were urging the government to make streets safer, because they don't want to scrape dead kids of the pavement. They can't sleep at night when they do. They didn't say no more bikes, just safer streets.

Question 5 is a bikepath in Belgium

Great to see some progress on this long neglected safety hazard

Thank you for this statement. I may not live in Seattle, being Bedfordshire, UK based, but I can see the help and difference this would do to a community. I myself have been trying to enact upon similar beliefs, mainly because It is the only real way for small populous transportation to really work well in cities. This topic is getting interesting now that many people are starting to become advocates

This man is a Communist Traitor!

With the dawn of the electric bike hills seize to be a problem I suppose, except for downhill maybe 🙈 Edit: I live in Eindhoven. Interesting fact, ASML. Look them up if you're science oriented. I'm not originally from Eindhoven but proud inhabitant.

Why would you waste 10 minutes on introducing two speakers by 5 people who really have nothing to say....

1) I noticed how large Melissa happens to be and thought to my self, car culture must be exacerbates the obesity crisis. car culture must encourage immobility. I know from my own experience when I was twenty that I would rather ride a bike than drive a car. But because the town I live in is car centric I had to get a drivers licence. Ever sense then I have become more and more heavy set. so ya, America needs bike paths like people need to breath. The city of the healthy future will embrace bike paths. The city of rampant diabetes will embrace car culture. 2) Two years after this talk was given, American cities burn to the ground because smurf politicians allowed and encouraged it to burn. Two years later, Seattel, Portland, Chicago, New York City, and Minneapolis collapse dew to elitist bigots letting the rioters terrorize the community. I didn't think much of Trump or his campaign in 2016. But sens then, I have learned to appreciate what he has accomplished for the nation even though the petty and insecure be against him. Trump is a rare breeze of fresh air for being honest. What he promised on the campaign trail he took great stride in accomplishing. Trump is also a commercial real estate investor that is highly interested in knowing what type of spaces small business and people want to cohabit in harmony.

Fietser = cyclist Not this convoluted 'person on a bike.'

I doubt Melissa thought the panel really got the essence

@24:20 ... no, everything isn't about race.

I just read a message this morning from a friend about the joy of writing poetry. It prompted me to re-watch this video, and think about Max.

Unfortunately the USA is now dysfunctional, so is hopelessly behind The Netherlands...

Couldn't hear it all.

13:48 great compilation of projects continent-wide

Need for helmets is a chicken or the egg situation; do we make cycling safer to make cycling without helmets safe, or do we wait until more bikes are used then build the cycle ways? I suggest we are not going to get the increase in cycling until the cycle ways are available and safety is achieved, then helmets might become un-needed and cycling will become more attractive. Millions of Europeans commuting in this way along cycle ways provides tangle proof.

Having read the mail flyers, and heard the candidates debate, and having listened to numerous commercials, I for one do *NOT* see or hear *any* evidence of "mud slinging", except by some obviously biased individuals, like the one below. And I don't mind telling you, you're not exactly helping your chosen candidate by saying such things.

Cary Moon is running a Mud Slinging campaign against her opponent, have you read her flyer? She is using Mayor Ed Murrays allegations against Jenny Durkan and saying that she is a corporatist. That is not true, she has raised 95% of her campaign funds from small donations. If anyone is corporatist its Cary Moon, her net worth is over 4.5 Million, her family ran a corporation her entire life, and now she's using the "anti-establiment" talk for herself. That is not progressive, in fact that is more likely the way a Conservative runs their campaign. If you can't win with your merit and your experience alone then you do not get my vote. That is why I am voting for Jenny Durkan

Well done!

Love it. I wish more people would stop at intersections like this, take a short video clip, and post online.

Ironically, like our bikeway network, this video stops and breaks down continuously when I try to play it -- it won't let me just go from start to end.

at some point the meeting minutes will appear here, maybe www.seattle.gov/seattle-bicycle-advisory-board/meetings/meeting-minutes

Chuck's mike cuts out around 1:18:30, great stuff up until that point though

Regarding the comments at 1:30:08 about northern New Jersey: this is not accurate. Most NNJ drivers are considerate, patient, skilled, and courteous. Of course, there are exceptions -- and it is these impatient/aggressive drivers who need to be dealt with. I ride all over NNJ: check my channel and you'll see some examples of terrible driving (and riding) but these represent a tiny minority.

great job guys!

Great presentation! Shame that the video camera was not situated on the left side of the room, however.

Great job SNG!
