To ensure cars didn’t take back control of #Paris streets as the pandemic was “ending” (no, it hasn’t ended), like they have in so many cities, Mayor #AnneHidalgo made sure that 60k parking spaces and many streets were permanently transformed into seating for restaurants, people places and bike-lanes.

Leadership.

@BrentToderian I’m so disappointed and frustrated with town near me that didn’t do this. Especially Carmel, CA all because of parking.
