Dear Sust-mar list, The Transportation Issues Committee of the Ecology Action Centre is interested in organizing a Car Free Day on April 19th. This day has been proclaimed World Car Free day and has the support of hundreds of cities and towns (mostly in Europe). We would like to do this as a coalition of groups as this will both help spread the word and indicate that not just one group is interested in community, air quality and physical health. More information on a Car Free Day is available at www.ecoplan.org/carfreeday . Organization of such a day is outlined on this site. Ideally, we would get the support of HRM and Metro Transit along with some health promotion groups. There are several current issues and events that could help publicise this: the Daltech Planning Symposium is on Transportation this year, the twinning of 101 seems eminent, the IRTS (Interim Regional Transportation Strategy) is about to be reintroduced to city council. HRM is spending 11 million dollars on a new parking garage when there is evidence that the top floors of other parking garages in Halifax are often empty. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out with such an event.
