It has been a long-held dream of New Yorkers of a certain (greenish) stripe: the streets of Manhattan free of cars. Now, for a few hours, on a few streets, on a few weekends this summer, that dream will become reality.

Spain tried something similar on certain, pedestrian-heavy streets of Madrid while I was living there. It was a huge success (for the pedestrians) and soon moved from experiment to the way of life.
