Auto-Free Central Park

• Removing motorists from Central Park will ease traffic congestion, not worsen it.

• There used to be roadways going through Washington Square Park. Valuable lessons arise from examining the community organizing used to remove the cars and the traffic consequences of that change.

• The traffic impact of the collapse and repair of the West Side Highway also has bearing on the efforts to remove cars from Central Park.

• Debating why and how to open Central Park by closing the loop road to cars.

• Present car-free hours on the loop road.

• People have been calling for Central Park to be Auto-Free as early as 1924.

• Check out Transportation Alternatives' Auto Free Central Park Home Page. TA is a grassroots organization working for transportation reform in NYC. I hope you'll get involved.
