LUND, Sweden, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Officials in Lund, Sweden, say they are considering banning cars and buses from the city's historic center.

The Local said Tuesday the proposal was one of three suggestions the city came up with as it tackled the city center's chronic traffic congestion.

The other two proposals included less stringent street closures and access restrictions.

The city council will study the proposals and convene a session next fall.
