At the end, the anchorwoman says that the city of Seattle is spending $240 million dollars over the next decade to add bike lanes and increase the number of bike commuters. $240 million dollars? Can that be right? That can't just be for bike projects can it? Can it?

yep, thats what mayor gridlock got from the feds for creating his BMP.
I found action 3.1 comical, as i've not seen done, anywhere, to date (cough, cough, Stone Way, cough).

Thats why I keep going to these (and posting about) Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board meetings. The SBAB is responsible for oversight of SDOT's implementation of a lot of this work.

The video was going okay until it said that bikes need to use bike lanes if they are offered. That isn't true, and I don't use them where they aren't safe (eastlake near furhman as an example).

A person operating a bicycle upon a roadway may use the shoulder of the roadway or any specially designated bicycle lane if such exists.

then can ya tell those asshats to install some FUCKING SIGNS indicating WTF a "sharrow" is.
I see " driver education" is low on their list, so consider it a belated x-mas wish.

Yeah, it sucks.
I'm trying. Government groups don't work very fast.
For some reason, they seem to think that hanging door flyers on the houses for 4 blocks on either side of the road that gets sharrows is enough education.
The university of North Carolina is doing a study on a couple of the roads (before and after) where SDOT is installing sharrows this year.
If we are lucky, this summer Cascade is going to do a huge education campaign hanging information on every house door in the city, maybe we can get "what is a sharrow" information added in there.

you do realize that sharrows work even though people don't know what they are, right?
that makes them better than other treatments (like bike-in-a-house sharrows) that need explanation.
