Hello APGD

Montreal Adds Nine More Car-Free Streets after ‘Mind Blowing’ Success Four years after Montreal decided to make a 2.5-kilometre stretch of a busy downtown artery car-free every summer, the transformation continues to receive rave reviews from users and local businesses.

“To use a technical term, it blew my mind,” said Vancouver’s former chief planner Brent Toderian…”They weren’t lazy about it—they didn’t just throw up barriers and ban cars. It might be the best bargain I’ve ever heard,” Toderian said. #Montreal

Thanks to all who came out for our Love Local Wine Walk. We gave away 30 packets of Florida wildflower seeds and raised $350 for our Green Up Fund. Those funds will go toward phase 2 of our pollinator garden in Alley no. 3. Thanks to Chef Tonda for letting us use her private event space for check in

What if—instead of noise and fumes—we filled our streets with people, trees and the sound of chirping birds?

Photo of alley during daytime with lots of greenery, including small trees. There is a large mural of a man on one wall, along with colorful artwork in the background.

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders —far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.

Recalling the time we made a homemade crosswalk from latex paint and roofing paper to make a point, haha. It took ten years, but look at our crosswalk today! #safestreets #crosswalk #APGD🌿✨

Intrigued by the idea of anti-advertising—imagine a public message crafted simply to spark joy in anyone who sees it, with no product or agenda attached.✨ #Orlando #ecodistrict #publicspace

Heya! Our first books arrived for our upcoming APGD Little Lending Library. We’re taking a slightly different approach to ours - the books will be focused on things relevant to our community. So, books about Florida birds, sustainable gardening, life in Central Florida, etc. #apgd #ecodistrict
