The City of Burien is seeking to create a temporary Transportation Benefit District on this November’s Ballot.  It’s a $25 vehicle license fee to fund bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

On a side note, it’s good to see the American Heart Association mobilize on these issues.  Getting people to use cars less has enormously positive public health consequences.
