On the 22th of september 2009 the Swedish environmental action group [http://klimatet.org Klimax], the 40 years old environmental and urban planning organization [http://alternativstad.nu Alternativ Stad (=Alternative City)] and the public transport activists in [http://planka.nu Planka.nu] are creating a car free zone in the center of Stockholm. The action is also a protest against all the new road projects like Förbifart Stockholm and Södertörnsleden which are planned in the Stockholm area. Our demand is investments in public transport instead of more crazy road projects!

Time and localisation for the action is 22/9, shortly before 5 PM at the crossroad of Sergels torg and Hamngatan in the center of Stockholm.
