“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

@BrentToderian It really isn't that remarkable. Paris was built before cars and so transitioning away from them isn't as hard. And the transition from combustion engine cars to EVs will also have a significant positive impact on cities that aren't able to do what Paris did.
