The traffic condition in my city is unbearable, streets made for 19th century carriages overflowing with parked cars. Pedestrization is going veeeery slowly, with heated resistance from people who would drive to their own bathrooms if they could.

As part of her climate change plan, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo is pedestrianizing streets, building bike lanes, and planting trees. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions, reduce traffic noise and make the city more able to resist heat.
She has been very aggressive and upset some car drivers. But the results are starting to pay off.
I fucking LOVE this. What an awesome humanistic policy!
I dream about stuff like this
Gorgeous
Pronunciation: Muh. Probably
Mough.
I like your guess but I feel like it’s mow.
Someone French please help!
French person to the rescue.
It’s \mo\ or “m-oh”.
Nailed it!
Not French, but to me it reads as “M-yoo”
Google translate just says “moo” (not elongated like a cow, just short, like “Mu”)
In my accent I’d say “mo”.
This is awesome. What did all those people do with their cars?
how many parking spaces are erased? 20?
apparently, in Paris, 1 in 3 households have cars ☞ https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/2012694#tableau-TCRD_001_tab1_departements
Who cares?
Nobody needs a car in Paris
Absolutely gorgeous. It goes to show how wonderful a space can be if you design it right.
Could argue it’s Less street 😁
would look better with flowers
Paris has so many flowers that there are more bees inside Paris than outside Paris.
Although that’s also because of the pesticides used outside Paris.
It looks like they’re going for natural wildflowers, which means that there will be periods of time where it’s basically all just green. What you get in return though is lots of interesting grasses but the image is pretty low resolution so you can’t really see all that.
Was that a street or a parking lot? Because I see cars on the far right side, and this dead ends anyway.
That’s just a street in Europe, it’s what they look like.
On first glance I thought this could have been a two way road with trees in the middle and they closed one way for this pedestrian area.
But it actually was some kind of parking lot/access street. The actual Rue de Meaux continues straight on while what we’re looking at is just a 100m long off-branch.
Looks pathetic and sad actually…
the first pic, yeah
Bottom one too. They both do. Top one is usual garbage, the bottom one just looks…horribly fake, no proper room for trees. Gonna be a shit show in a few years
I wish I lived somewhere pathetic… Jk I live in Tx
