Oslo just declared that it will become the first major city to ban cars

Quote:It will also build more than 35 miles of bike lanes by 2019 and invest heavily in public transport. 

The permanent ban will affect the 350,000 or so car owners in the Norwegian capital.

Obviously, Europe is a different animal than North America, but nice to see a cultural shift in thinking.

I bet it will be a long time before a city in North America bans cars from its downtown.
