somthing to look into for sure.
and promising news:
- the city of san francisco is looking to establish Sunday Healthways, where streets in the bayview, tenderloin and chinatown neighborhoods would be closed to cars on sunday mornings in lieu of walkers, joggers, bicyclists and even practitioners of yoga and tai chi.
- the neighborhood of williamsburg, brooklyn will enjoy four saturday afternoons in a row starting in June where its main street (bedford) will be closed to automobile traffic. Many of the merchants are enthusiastic, knowing it will allow them to accommodate more customers with outdoor seating on the street. The impetus? Would you believe it's the NY Department of Transportation, part of city's PlaNYC 2030 initiative to create more streets as pedestrian public realms.
