At four months of the municipal elections, the candidate EELV to the mayor of Paris David Belliard presents on Europe 1 his program for the capital. "We have been working on this plan for 30 years," says the man who wants ecology to be "victorious" in this electoral battle.

INTERVIEW

Officially candidate for mayor of Paris for a few weeks now, the ecologist David Belliard launches Tuesday his campaign for the municipal elections (March 15 and 22, 2020).

But the member of the municipal majority led by Anne Hidalgo, credited mid-September 13% of voting intentions according to a survey, took advantage of its passage on Europe 1 to unveil in preview a few lines of its program, including the ecological revolution he intends to lead for the capital. Among its flagship measures, a redesign of modes of transport to "free Paris from the car".

  • Pedestrianizing the surroundings of the 300 most polluted schools: "We must protect the health of our children," says David Belliard, who wants to allow them "to go to school safely". "100% of schools in Paris have a polluted air, including one in three are particularly," said the elected to create around the schools of islands of pietonnisation, with green spaces. The city councilor, who declares war on the car, also wants to make a pedestrian district in each district.
  • Transform Paris and its crown into a bike: David Belliard proposes "a change of model" for Paris, because the situation "is catastrophic" according to him, after notably "12 days of heat wave this summer". The candidate wants to make Paris a 100% bike-friendly municipality with secure bi-directional trails and major bike routes linking Paris to its metropolis. It also offers the duplication of the most saturated metro lines, such as line 13, with bike lanes.
  • Transform the ring road into an urban boulevard: "This will remain a traffic lane," explains David Belliard. Like the marshals, "one or two lanes will be reserved for cars", with traffic lights. But now, the Paris ring road can also be crossed on foot or by bicycle. "Before we thought Paris with the car, tomorrow we change the model." In his viewfinder, the SUV, "heavy and extremely polluting", he would like to disappear. "It is up to the government and the builders to take responsibility" to stop "this aberration".
  • Recovering parking space: "This space is not intended for Parisians" today, plague David Belliard. He wants to recover almost half of the parking spaces to make green spaces or public benches.
