I've heard that Hamburg, Germany and other cities in Europe and around the world are going car-free by 2034. Is this true?

Several Cities in Europe have been car-free for many years. Apart from Venice, which is a special case, there are no cities or towns with populations over 50,000 that are car-free. -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |

Several Cities in Europe have been car-free for many years. Take Venice for example. Almost everybody says Venice is car-free, but it is *not*. True, a good part of Venice *is* car-free, but not all of it. Take the Lido and Mestre (both parts of Venice), for example. And there is even a car bridge to the main tourist part of Venice, where there is a parking lot, the Piazzale Roma. |

Take Venice for example. Or take Montisola, which is not a city but an island. I believe only two cars (the doctor's and the priest's) are allowed, plus the bus. Locals use scooters. And may have cars parked on the coast of the lake at the other end of the (people and bike) ferry. |

They have small electric trucks that bring them: http://www.fahrzeugbilder.de/1024/e-...827--29589.jpg Then again the island is very small, they don't have to go long distances, so the batteries last them quite long.
