Comments on: Advocacy director David Hiller announces resignation http://blog.cascade.org/2011/05/david-hiller/ Creating a better community through bicycling, throughout Seattle, King County and Washington state. Sat, 18 May 2013 16:21:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kevin Henderson http://blog.cascade.org/2011/05/david-hiller/comment-page-1/#comment-20278 Kevin Henderson Tue, 17 May 2011 16:20:31 +0000 http://blog.cascade.org/?p=5858#comment-20278 My first in-person contact with David Hiller was at one of last year's public meetings on the Vulnerable User bill. This was an incredibly emotional event, with testimony by several family members who had lost loved ones as a result of negligent driving. I will always remember David's solemn promise not to give up working on their behalf. David is absolutely someone you want on your side, and he will continue to do great things to make it easier and safer for all of us to get around. Looking forward to great successes! Congratulations, David. Kevin My first in-person contact with David Hiller was at one of last year’s public meetings on the Vulnerable User bill.

There is no doubt that you will continue to help lead the bicycling community, for which you have become an important voice, through the myriad of coming challenges. However all of Seattle should gain with your influence on local transportation issues which you know so well.

I would hazard a guess that I will see you down there again. First brew is on me. Can you say "Fish Tale?"

I've been watching from afar and was always so glad to see the good, hard, noisy work continue -- obviously you'll be missed. Big shoes, big voice to fill. Hope to see you for a beer and five-year recap (!) the next time I'm in town. Congrats. Kari David, all the best to you for the future.

What a tribute! I thank you for being the smartest guy in the room on everything related to transportation. Please bring to Mike McGinn's efforts what you brought to Cascade: passion, smarts, and a heart in the right place. Maybe you'll start returning my phone calls now that you work for a politico... :) Thanks David and I wish the best for you.

While three years wasn't nearly enough time, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from you and witness what true passion and dedication to a cause really means. You will be greatly missed in the Advocacy Dept., but I know you'll continue to be a champion in the community for bicycling. David,
