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.

Pronunciation: Muh. Probably

I like your guess but I feel like it's mow.

Someone French please help!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 46 minutes ago* (last edited 39 minutes ago)

Not French, but to me it reads as "M-yoo"

Google translate just says "moo" (not elongated like a cow, just short, like "Mu")

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

In my accent I’d say “mo”.

This is awesome. What did all those people do with their cars?

[–] merde 21 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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.

would look better with flowers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

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.

Could argue it's Less street 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Was that a street or a parking lot? Because I see cars on the far right side, and this dead ends anyway.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That's just a street in Europe, it's what they look like.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

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.
