New York’s Central Park is going to be
“Car Free” soon, the mayor announced Friday.
[[Bill de Blasio, New York City Mayor]]
“The most iconic park on earth will now be car free, that’s gonna be felt everywhere.”
He said it will make the park safer
for pedestrians and pedalers.

I think it’ll really help in terms of preventing accidents, and keeping everybody safe.

Without the cars, the better it is for everybody.
The park’s scenic loop already has limited hours.
But now it will be completely closed to vehicles.
But cars will still be allowed
through parts of the park.
The 4 roadways that traverse the
park will remain open to vehicles.
The car ban goes into effect June 27.
