 After doing so much research from Ontario for my last video, this is such a refreshing read. It's the polar opposite. While Ontario is desperately trying to make it easier to drive and park in downtown Toronto, Amsterdam residents are not just putting those desires at the bottom of the list, they've explicitly marked them as "undesirable" goals. On the "car parking near destinations" there's a call out quote that reads, "Let the city become car-free, except for people who really need it." 👏 4 comments
"To ensure that everyone can participate in society, everyone must feel safe and free to participate in traffic." "Good transit is very important if we want to discourage the car and keep the city accessible for the disabled. Also nice for integration if more people are on the tram together :). Moreover, for air quality very welcome." @notjustbikes I think it is also important to emphasise that this governmental letter is both relatively information dense and technical, but still written in very understandable Dutch. Clear, concise language, without being condescending. Many praises |

The other pull-out quotes read:
"Safe playgrounds for children are very important to me and this is something that is sometimes lacking in Amsterdam, so I would like to pay more attention to this. every child has the right to a safe playground!"
