Imaginem a Nova Iorquina Times Square.... Sem Carros!

E agora... imaginem, que esta nova praça sem carros vai começar Hoje!!!
Viva a actividade fisica e já agora um grande bem haja para o Sr Presidente da Camara - Michael Bloomberg - que à custa do pequeno "nanny state needy man" que mora dentro dele - tanto tem feito pelo bem estar dos Nova Iorquinos. Para quem não está a ver o que quero dizer, relembro que foi o Sr Bloomberg que passou a lei "anti-trans", que decidiu reduzir o conteúdo do sal nas refeições servidas nos restaurantes, etc, etc.

Ora aqui fica a noticia da BBC sobre o assunto:

"Car-free Times Square in New York
New York's iconic Times Square is getting a major makeover, with city officials banning cars from stretches of Broadway.
Vehicles are being barred between 42nd and 47th streets at Times Square and 33rd and 35th Streets at Herald Square.
City officials say the move will reduce pollution and pedestrian accidents and ease traffic flow in the area known as "crossroads of the world".
Pedestrian plazas will provide shoppers and tourists with a place to relax.
Barriers along parts of Broadway were put in place late on Sunday, with official celebrations of the new car-free area planned for Monday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said the makeover of the city's landmark - notorious for its traffic jams - will hand the place to pedestrians.
"It's good for traffic, it's good for businesses and we think it is going to be great deal of fun," city transport commissioner Janet Sadik-Khan said last week."
