Great Streets, Healthy Cities: Car Free Sundays Best Practices
Car Free Sundays are fantastic programs where the streets are opened to people and closed to cars. Car Free Sundays allow people to walk, bike, dance, skate, and do just about any physical activity on public spaces that are always there but are normally reserved solely for the use of automobiles.
This will be a great opportunity to learn about and discuss Car Free Sundays and other pedestrian related issues. We’re looking forward to meeting with a diverse group of engaged citizens from a wide range of communities, so please pass this information on to your friends, family and community.
On behalf of our partners at the World Health Organization and with generous funding provided by the Ministry of Health Promotion, 8-80 Cities (formerly Walk and Bike for Life) would like to invite you to this exciting event on February 2nd, 2010.
Great Streets, H ealthy Cities will highlight the best practices of planning and implementing Car Free Sundays from the foremost international program examples. Three leading Car Free Sundays/Ciclovias experts from New York, San Francisco, Bogota and Guadalajara will be speaking at the event, each providing a unique perspective and a diversity of implementation tools/models. Following the presentations by each of the speakers, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas.
All are welcome to join us for this free event. You won’t be disappointed!
