Reclaim the Streets
April 24th 2006 23:52
I got talking to someone with a 'Reclaim the Streets' badge the other day, and found out about a festival I’d never heard of before.
It’s a large street party with the purpose of stopping traffic in an area; sending a message to various Sydney authorities that people desire better public transport, improved conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and skaters, more urban leisure space, street gardening, liveable neighbourhoods and the re-humanising of our streets.
It isn’t just a Punk festival – there’ll be music for pretty much everyone. So if you’re sick of congested roads and few alternatives as far as public transport, get to the next festival.
I don’t know when it is, but I’ll try to find out as soon as I can
