http://carfreeusa.blogspot.com/2014/09/portlands-new-bridge-will-be-carfree.html

Promoting the Joys of Carfree Life in the USA (Since February 2006). Monday, September 08, 2014. Portland's New Bridge will be Carfree.

Car Free - LA.

Promoting the Joys of Carfree Life in the USA (Since February 2006). Tuesday, July 21, 2009. The Case for a Subway to the Beach in LA.

The following piece from two days ago by David Aaronovitch is too important to hide behind a firewall:.
