Just what was the point of going carless?

Dear editor, What exactly was the point of Car Free Sunday?

Dear editor,What exactly was the point of Car Free Sunday?Andrew Gower is quoted as saying, "It was a remarkable success, people were dancing in the streets, literally."Really? Inconveniencing thousands so a few can dance in the street was the goal?Closing roads for a parade or special event is acceptable. Closing roads so people can walk in the street 'just because they can' is ridiculous.The roads are there to drive on. That was the reason they were built and the reason we pay so much for their upkeep.Sidewalks and crosswalks are designed for pedestrians. Hats off to Comox for not participating in such a stupid idea. Chris Elliston,Comox
