You will NEVER see a pizza-guy stopping for a red traffic light. Nor bicyclists (especially in Amsterdam).

About the ramp, I wished I had seen this picture sooner. We are planning a new librarybuilding (a combined public and academic library, a first in the Netherlands as far as I know) and we had a discussion about the stairs a few weeks ago. Now we get a grand staircase and an elavator for the disabbled. This would be a great entry for the library.
About the scooter. It was on the news in the Netherlands. The scooter is an electric scooter, that is why it makes no noise. The pizza-guys have a very bad rep over here. Because they drive like crazy. So they hope the bit of humor will decrease their bad reputation.

From the comments of the WIN blog, it looks like it’s the Robson Square building in Vancouver, BC.
