Twenty streets of Paris before and after in one minute
Pros: the place looks wonderful and peaceful, much lower carbon emissions
Cons: people with problems walking more than a small distance will absolutely hate this setup - at least some of the streets seem to make concessions for public transportation, fortunately
@csolisr ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ exactly. Making Paris for walkers only excludes all the elderly or people with mobility issues, those who cannot take the subway. No one thought of that. Tough.

@VeroniqueB99 @csolisr

Imagine yourself on a mobility scooter, or using a walker in one of the โ€œbeforeโ€ pictures. The โ€œbeforeโ€ was most definitely *not* some kind of panacea for people with mobility issuesโ€ฆ on the contrary they look like hell to deal with.

@DavidM_yeg @csolisr You're assuming they're on foot. People with mobility issues needs cars to get around. They cannot walk for example to the "closest" bus/Metro stop cuz it's too far for them. Examples abound. Now, th enter of the city is ONLY accessible for people who can walk for long-ish distances. Nothing has been done to accommodate them (or the elderly same thing). Not to mention that they didn't increase/improve pubic transportation and or public parking.

This is your assumption. Take a look at this

@lgsp @DavidM_yeg @csolisr Those are becoming super common in Europe. They're a great alternative between bikes and cars. ๐Ÿ‘
