Today is supposed to be car free day in the downtown core of Montreal. The building I work in is in the middle of the car-free zone but I’m seeing a steady flow of cars going by out my window. Apparently car-free day doesn’t work, despite being conveniently positioned between the two rush hours.
“Montreal Car-Free Day” is more like “A Few City Blocks of Montreal Almost Car-Free Few Hours”. Even as a purely symbolic gesture it’s still incredibly lame.
Update: I just discovered that the perimeter is even smaller than I thought and doesn’t come as far north as this building. My point is still valid though.
