This fall, Baltimore is scheduled for a serious carectomy. Under persistent pressure from Greg Cantori and his staunch supporters, including Sunday Streets, the city will host a Ciclovia during which pedestrians—cyclists, skaters, walkers—will dominate the streets. As in Bogota, a Ciclovia celebrates pedestrian traffic and bans cars from road travel (or, at the very least, limits it to certain lanes or sectors of the city).
Kudos to StreetFilms for helping advocate for the Ciclovia and for convincing Baltimore’s city legislators that it was a worthwhile idea.
