CicLAvia in the Time of Coronavirus with Tafarai Bayne

With social distancing, cities are reconsidering the domination of streets by cars. As coronavirus shuts down countries around the world, stricter quarantines and travel restrictions cause a significant decline in the air and water pollution of major cities. These unplanned environmental pollution declines from the virus outbreak are just temporary, experts say, and banning cars on all of the roads forever may not be realistic; but CicLAvia, which opens LA streets temporarily to people by closing them to cars, is persevering and making inroads as a leader in the global Open Streets movement. Don Ward and Nick Richert talk to Tafarai Bayne, Chief Strategist of CicLAvia. When we share our Zoom meeting link on social media, we are joined by Dorothy Wong, Joni Yung, and Wendy Conlon for a discussion of biking in the time of the Virus.
