Are you ready to rally?

You've already signed up to attend the Rally for a Car-Free Central Park on Tuesday evening, October 26th, from 7 to 8:30 pm inside the Universalist Church (a.k.a. Landmark on the Park, 160 Central Park West at 76th Street).

Be there at 7 pm sharp to make sure that you get a seat.

Make your voice heard! At the rally you'll be joined by hundreds of citizen supporters, dozens of elected officials, public health professionals and members of the media.

At the rally you'll see:

  • A powerful new documentary film, "The Case for a Car-Free Central Park," featuring anti-injury, asthma and obesity experts, other notable New Yorkers and a diverse array of park users
  • Riveting speeches from supportive elected officials, leading authors, heath advocates and park users who believe that New York City has much to gain and little to lose by closing Central Park’s loop drive to motorized vehicles
  • The results of a new study that shows closing Central Park's loop drive will have a negligible traffic impact on the streets surrounding the park while vastly improving the health of all New Yorkers
  • The Mayor should celebrate Central Park's 150th birthday by converting select street entrances to grassy areas and instituting a three-month car-free summer.The presentation of 75,000 petition signatures to leading park officials and elected representatives

Let's show Mayor Bloomberg that New Yorkers want more pollution-, noise- and hazard-free park space!
