As a new college graduate I am headed to Seattle in the fall to start a job in downtown Seattle. While I am excited to spend for Seattle, I am slightly hesitant due to the lack of viable bicycle infrastructure. After spending two weeks in Portland this summer I was amazed by their neighborhood greenways and ease of bicycle use. I urge you to consider spending a portion of this income on bicycle infrastructure as it will revitalize Seattle. Thank you, Andrew Sheridan
