This was the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.

The referendum will eliminate 10,000 more parking spots in Paris, adding to the 10,000 removed since 2020. The city's two million residents will be consulted on which streets will become pedestrian areas.

Paris town hall data shows car traffic in the city has more than halved since the Socialists took power in the capital at the turn of the century.

Making city streets & sidewalks safer & more accessible for humans on foot, in chairs, on self-powered & electrical wheels rather than allowing the dominance of polluting larger vehicles—what will those crazy Frenchies think of next??

I'm honestly jealous.

I live in a very walkable area of Kansas City, but it would be even better if there were fewer streets and more green space instead, but we Americans with our cars and our fat asses would never approve of something like this.
