From the Examiner article - "Why not be car-free for real?" Bravo!

In 2011 North America, WCFD just seems to be an excuse for patting ourselves on our backs and handing out free swag. It used to the be that World Car Free Day was a chance for cities to show their residents what a street or an entire district could be like without cars.

Many European cities jump-started their successful pedestrian zone projects by taking advantage of WCFD events to build support. It seems like yesterday was another missed opportunity to do something similar. Why not a Ciclovia on Car-Free Day?

I like Jaffe's idea of making Pennsylvania Avenue car-free, but it shouldn't be the only street. How about a rotating car-free day each month on different neighborhood retail streets? It would help attract DC residents to explore other neighborhoods and build support for car-free or car-light activity across the whole city.

(PS: The Captcha box first gave me a math equation with square root and division symbols. Where the heck is the square root key on my keyboard?)
