Car-free Day

Posted by Jennifer on Jun 17 2009 | Healthy Living , Life in Vancouver

On Sunday, June 14, we enjoyed another car-free day on Main Street.  The weather was perfect — not too hot.  This year there was a lot more food available and it extended from 12th Avenue up to King Edward (25th) Avenue.

My favourite table was Drawings by Quinn.  He told me that his dream was to draw for books.  I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo of his great drawing.  I did tell him that I think his dream is going to come true.  Next “Summer Spaces” Sunday, look for Quinn on Main near 23rd.

The bike valet was a great feature as were the signs created for the event.

I spoke to some of the merchants on Main on Monday, some of whom were not happy with the event last year.  They were suprisingly pleased with the business they had and are looking forward to future car-free days.
