Comments on: Bulletin: Alki “Car-Free Day” to be announced next week https://westseattleblog.com/2008/07/bulletin-alki-car-free-day-to-be-announced-next-week/ West Seattle news, 24/7 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:14:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: Pamela Erickson https://westseattleblog.com/2008/07/bulletin-alki-car-free-day-to-be-announced-next-week/#comment-400283 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:14:55 +0000 https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=9327#comment-400283 LONG overdue – A closed promenade has long been a wonderful part of many cities – even Lake Washington Blvd to Seward Pk has been doing same (and yes, allowing local traffic to get home &out!) for years. Rio de Janairo shuts the long strip along Copacabana & Ipanema every Sunday (entire day) AND Wednesday nites, if I recall, and bikes & rollerbladers separated from walkers/promenaders – entire extended families meet up and socialize, running into friends and making more. I guess the previous emailer is my answer to, “WHAT HAS TAKEN SO LONG?”
