DC car-free day … or not
Apparently it’s not easy for a city to go car free, as the traffic outside my window is backed up down the street at the moment – 9:50 am – on what is supposed to be Car Free Day here in DC (and other cities around the world).
DC mayor Adrian Fenty was, however, shown on a local news report walking about yesterday and will be getting to all his appointments today by bus. The day’s not over, of course, but more extensive promotion of the day next year would probably help encourage more people to take public transportation.
