National Park(ing) Day in Providence

The takeaway of the local coverage this week of the latest Texas Transportation Institute traffic analysis was that we're a lot better off than congested-clogged places like Los Angeles. Such conclusions, while accurate, distract attention from a steadily growing amount of local traffic.

Critical Mass offers one approach of challenging cars.

Tomorrow, some creatively park-minded local activists will take over a bit of downtown Providence, as part of National Park(ing) Day. Art parks will form from 11 am to 2 pm, or thereabouts.
