But it’s always so nice to explore a city with a bike network. That way, even if you don’t have a map or don’t know exactly where you are, you can just follow the bike signs that point you to a certain place. And you know you’ll be able to follow the signs to get back too. I really appreciate that kind of city planning. And in California, it always made me a little nostalgic for Portland and its amazing bike boulevards.

After watching and doing a bit of research into my own neighbourhood, I found out that my street in the inner city of Calgary, Canada is being converted into the city's first official greenway. This video makes a compelling argument for making our streets multi-use! I really like the combination of stormwater management and thoroughfare applied to a large swath of the city (and to give greenspace to built-up neighbourhoods is great)! Well done Streetfilms in bringing Portland's awesome ideas to life! Fantastic.
