Taxi Crash Renews Call For Car-Free Central Park

T.A.'s Central Park Committee called on Mayor Giuliani to ban cars from the park after a February 12 collision left two joggers hospitalized. The incident occurred after a driver suffered a fatal heart attack and entered the recreation lane on the East Drive near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both joggers are recovering, luckily, but crashes are inevitable given the crowded conditions on the park drives. Joggers, skaters and cyclists need more space, and don't need to travel inches away from traffic. To be part of the Auto-Free Central Park Campaign, call Elizabeth at T.A.
