Your Monday Afternoon Viewing

SwatchJunkies

October 29, 2012

Streetfilms, an organization creating short videos about smart transportation infrastructure that improves our streets, has produce two new videos about Vancouver, BC. Both are worth a few minutes of your time.

The first takes a look at how the city improved safety on its bikeways, encouraging folks of all ages to get on a bike:

The second examines the ways Vancouver and surrounding cities have worked to integrate cycling with other forms of transit–buses, lightrail, and ferries (it also guest-stars Sightline boardmember Kamala Rao):

Both videos paint a picture of a city dedicated to making cycling easy and providing cheap, efficient alternatives to driving. It’s great to see Cascadia’s northern gem being highlighted as an example to the world.
