Want to learn about Dutch Streets? This is the video! We met up with Meredith Glaser in Amsterdam to go for a ride and learn about what’s so great about what we can learn from Dutch street design. Meredith is a prominent figure in the movement to help other cities to learn from the Dutch. You can learn more about Meredith and the work she is doing at: https://urbancyclinginstitute.com/meredith-glaser/
