VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Transportation Photo Shoot on Sunday, August 26
Join International Sustainable Solutions in partnership with regional agencies such as SDOT, King County Metro and Sound Transit for a series of photos showing the benefits of moving people on foot, bicycles, buses, or light rail, rather than in their cars.
It's a great opportunity to help create compelling images for a transportation alternatives message! The City of Seattle is closing 2nd Avenue near Cherry for this photo shoot. Mayor Nickels and County Executive Sims are both expected to participate. OnRequest Images is providing pro bono professional photographic support. The photos will be used in a Commuter Toolkit, a series of materials highlighting the importance of developing robust alternatives to people driving alone in their cars, and illustrating some of the key transportation initiatives now under way.
Planned photos include:
1) 177 cars (based on our current average of 1.15 people per car)
2) 200 people standing without a vehicle, showing how much space is wasted when people drive alone in cars
3) Three simulated buses with volunteers boarding (an average bus carries about 60+ riders)
4) 200 riders in the simulated space of one Link light rail train
5) 200 bicyclists
Folks with bikes should show up at noon at 2nd and Marion. It should only take about 30 minutes.

Yes! Heckle away!
Why is it always that Nickels can hop onto the whole "woo woo bikes are great" thing when it suits his fat ass and then puss out when it comes to actually implementing good, sound bike-friendly/appropriate transportation policy?!
