*1.* *I made a new video. Its special. I think you'll really like it. * *[video] Paradise On the Prairies https://vimeo.com/121991829* Grab a coffee and enjoy. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It starts with a little handdrawn 3-D animation of Portage and Main with protected bike lanes and then takes you on a journey to see what I see. Takes a few minutes to watch the whole thing. Just might change the way you see Winnipeg. If you like it, please share it on Twitter https://twitter.com/SwansonAnders/status/576481125473902593 with anyone who wants to see it happen (or is in a position to...).

*2. Inspired? * That video is also my submission to the Winnipeg Capital Budget process. (That's why it's exactly 10 minutes.) You can have your say too. If you are in Winnipeg, consider signing up to speak in delegation on Monday (PW) or Tuesday (EPC) to share your enthusiasm for a complete bike network asap with our politicians. The clerks to talk to are Destiny Watt, dwatt@winnipeg.ca and Carlos Gameiro cgameiro@winnipeg.ca, respectively. Send them an email asap.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks, Anders Swanson

P.S. For all those of you who chipped in to get me that camera, this one is for especially you. Thanks so much again.
