I mean, like in Jakarta, we have what's called Car Free Day every Sunday.

Um, September the 22nd is the World Car-Free Day, and we hope that on that day we'll be able to offer the Buddha, uh, one hundred thousand, uh, car-free days.

If you don't use a car, you use a motorcycle, and, uh, each week you may like to pledge one motorcycle-free, uh, day as an offering to the Buddha.

And this is something which happened over the weekend.

If you are in the East Side, I know a lot of East Siders are very happy for the inaugural Juchet Car Free Day, which took place on Saturday, where half a click of Juchet Road turned into a vibrant pedestrian street festival.
Tim OhHOST
Between 3.30 p.m. to 9.30 p.m., they closed off right from Dunman Road all the way to East Coast Road.
Tim OhHOST
There was free entry and the turnout.
Glenn OngHOST
Haley Steinfeld, Love Myself, right here on KISS92.

All the great songs in one place.
Tim OhHOST
And speaking of love, I think everybody loved the inaugural Juche at Car Free Day.
Tim OhHOST

So that made obviously big news with social media, and it's getting a lot of attention now, but none of those kinds of infrastructure investments happen quickly or by surprise.
Hilary BergshawHOST
There's so much work that goes into that, and actually for Burnaby residents, there's lots of opportunities for people to hear about the processes of what's going on, and the city actually puts a great amount of effort into resident involvement through surveys, through engagement, things like Car Free Day.
Hilary BergshawHOST
Can you speak a little bit to somebody who maybe is wondering how to hear more? 'Cause City Hall can feel like a big impenetrable force sometimes.
Hilary BergshawHOST
How does a resident learn more about their city and what's going on?
