[sustran] Car-free Sundays - Updates

[Eric Britton]

Our friends from Walk and Bike for Life <http://www.walkandbikeforlife.org/>
are updating their (and our) database on past and present Car Free Sunday
Projects worldwide. If you happen to have one in your city or know about
one, would you be so kind as to share what you have in hand?  

 

We will also be preparing a special feature in World Streets on Car Free
Sunday, so your inputs will get broad circulation.

 

Copies of your responses please to editor at worldstreets.org and
laura.penalosa at mail.mcgill.ca 

 

1.      When did the first Car-free Sunday type event originated in your
city? How many days a year does it take place?

 

2.      Approximately how many people participates every Sunday? What have
been the increases from when it first started?

 

3.      How was the event funded? (City, private sponsors, others) What was
the approximate cost?

 

4.      What made your city's Car-Free Sundays particularly unique from
those in other places? What type of entertainment and extra activities did
you incorporate in order to encourage people to participate?

 

5.      What benefits were you able to identify as a result of this event?

 

6.      What were the main barriers that you encountered and do you have any
suggestion on how to deal with them?

 

7.      How do you see your event in 5 years?

 

8.      Who can people contact if they want information on your program
(name, telephone, e-mail). 

 

9.      Can you also provide the web site link to your program?

 

 

Once again, thanks for sharing.
