Beijingers want clean-air to stay

The South China Morning Post and the China Daily reported Monday that most Beijingers want the strict driving restrictions which took more than 1 million cars off the road to clear the air for the Olympics to continue after the gold is gone. 

"We want to hear more public opinion on whether, or how, to keep the rule," Wang Li, deputy director of Beijing's traffic bureau, was quoted by state media as saying. --taken from an article in the South China Morning Post. http://olympics.scmp.com/Article.aspx?id=2904&section=latestnews

Here's a China Daily article saying one environmental official is trying to keep the restrictions, though this article came out before Monday's article saying no decision has been made. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-08/24/content_6965609.htm
