[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP, that's not what I took it to mean, and it's not how WABA was promoting it [/quote]

It wasn’t a WABA event. [/quote]

No, it was a District of Columbia government event that involved several agencies. However, WABA heavily promoted it and even sponsored an event. Here is language that WABA chose to post on their website:

[i]The District of Columbia is hosting the region’s first ever Open Streets event, where folks of all ages are invited to [b]use car-free streets to exercise, jog, dance, scoot, bike, play roller hockey, and enjoy being outside[/b].

WABA and the Rita Bright Family and Youth Recreation center will lead a fun, social ride from the Rita Bright Center to DC Open Streets.[/i]

WABA was definitely promoting this as an event where pedestrians should be in the streets. To asset a different interpretation is being disingenuous.

I'm the one who pointed out it wasn't a WABA event. I totally agree with you! I was pointing it out to highlight that WABA can say whatever they want, but it doesn't make it right, or accurately convey the intention of the event (although I also agree with you that the bolded IS accurate).[/quote]
