Show Notes
Residents in Queens Forest Park are advocating for a permanent car-free zone on Freedom Drive, citing safety and air quality benefits. The road, which reopened to vehicles last year, is now closed to cars from April through October. While some parents appreciate the car-free zone, drivers argue its a convenient shortcut. Crash data supports the closure, with no accidents since it became a pedestrian and cyclist path. The mayors office is exploring more options, but for now, enjoy the six-month car-free period in Forest Park.
