I don't speak for the mayor, haven't met the new one yet, but in the context of a talk about planning for bikes as transportation in this city, I think his administration is going to largely ignore all the biatching and moaning about bikelanes and stripes for bicyclists on the road.

No Hassid blockades of street design that benefits all members of the public.

Planning for bikes as road users as per AASHTO guidelines is going to occur regardless of the petty complaints of the public, who often genuinely enjoy civic improvements once implemented.

He's hinted at restricting big bad parking more than once, I'd expect seattle to implement sweeping ped and bicyclist infrastructure in Seattle.

McGinn used to be state chair of the Sierra Club, i'm sure pollution, congestion, quality of life, etc, all sit high on hizonners' task list.
