Ron A very interesting idea. Many university campuses are similar to carfree areas already. I think a private university would be a much better try than a public university as public universities are government institutions and are generally less likely to challenge the rules of their bosses. As well, since they are dependent on them for funding any things that they do that go against the "law" regarding street widths or whatever might jeopardize their funding. Private universities usually have the economic leverage and attitude to challenge something that they want to challenge. A university town seems a good place to start as minds are usually more liberal and i feel that this is seen as a liberal idea, although i feel that it is a commonsense idea that appeals to all when it is really thought about. anyways, just some thoughts david also, what about the sf bay area as a sight possibility??? --- "Ronetele <ronetele13-/[email protected]>" <ronetele13-/[email protected]> wrote: > Paul & David, > > Very powerful big ideas; I like it.
