Car Free High Park, a coalition of 23 organizations ranging from environmental, health, accessibility & disability, equity, sustainability, street safety, urban design, active transportation and public transit advocacy, calls for a safe, clean and more sustainable High Park by making it permanently car-free.
That’s because the full potential of High Park shines through when the park is car-free. Families are able to walk comfortably side by side. People with disabilities are provided more space and are free to move beyond the cramped and obstructed sidewalks. Park users of all ages and abilities can move about comfortably. The road is re-purposed for people walking, jogging, rolling, scooting and biking. Everyone enjoying the safety, freedom and peace that a car-free High Park provides. A joyous environment that is safe, quiet, and inspires community.
