Who loves traffic engineers?

 (Courtesy KING 5)

This Monday, we had an article about streets, the completion of the downtown bike loop and some innovative parking on the trendy stretch of Main Avenue .

The front page had a photograph of Inga Note, a traffic planning engineer with the city of Spokane who helps design bikeways for the city.

Turns out, Spokane isn’t the only Washington municipality with cool traffic engineers.

KING 5 in Seattle had a nice little bit on Dongho Chang , a bike-riding pavement savant who tweets like mad .

The Seattle Bike Blog is clearly impressed by Chang . They said:

First up, an apology to all other cities. Dongho Chang is our Traffic Engineer, and you can’t have him. He’s a one-person answer to anyone who has lost faith in government’s ability to serve its people. He’s smart, he listens and he genuinely cares.

Here’s KING 5’s segment. (This may not work on mobile, so head over to KING 5 to watch.) :
