THE GREAT CENTRAL PARK TRAFFIC CALMING RIDE ROLLS AGAIN!

This is a ride in Manhattan's Central Park to help make park
roads auto-free.

When: Friday, May 14, 2004, 6:00 p.m.
Whe Meet at the 6th Avenue and 59th Street entrance
to the park

We roll two by two in a single traffic lane around the southern
Loop Road. This is a non-confrontational ride to slow down car
traffic during the hours the park is open to cars.

The ride lasts about one hour or until the start of the park's
auto-free hours.

Sounds pretty in-your-face passive-aggressive to me.

I would think 'in-your-face' and 'passive-aggressive' are mutually
exclusive.

Kantor (1992, p. 177) notes that the term passive-aggressive clearly
describes a discrete behavior

Any kind of behavior can be in-your-face, if you do it where your target
can't help but notice. I personally think, "non-confrontational" and
"traffic calming" is much more of a mutual exclusion.

Quotation marks around "traffic calming" duly noted. ;-)

Last week's traffic-calming ride in Central Park was quite the
success:

So, once the cars are gone, you go too? You do have a very strange
definition of non-confrontational.
