walking or bicycling range of City facilities or who live near
rapid transit routes, city facilities will remain open. However,
public parking lots, including those at the beach, will be closed.
This measure will l1mit the use of private autos for transportation

the air pollution emergency, of the parking lot closures, and of
the request for the public to use an alternative mode of transpor;:;"
