A shock announcement. The outgoing and candidate mayor, Anne Hidalgo, announced on Tuesday at a press conference on cycling in the capital, that she would cut 60,000 parking spaces to make them bicycle paths, if she was re-elected . Or, almost half of the parking spaces in the capital that could disappear, notes Le Parisien.
"We have to go further"
“Taking a bike is living Paris with a new rhythm; it is discovering, rediscovering and appropriating Paris in a different light, becoming aware of the distances, contemplating its diversity and realizing that we don't always know it as much as we think, "she notes, lyrical. Currently, 1,018 kilometers of cycling facilities are available in Paris. Anne Hidalgo who wants to make Paris a “100% cycling city” now wants to go further.
"We have to go further to make Paris a city where it is possible and enjoyable to cycle everywhere," she says. While the cycle revolution seems to be underway in the capital, especially since the December strike, the candidates are sharpening their proposals concerning the bicycle, which has become a major stake in the ballot. This Wednesday, at the initiative of the Paris en Selle association, many contenders for the post will give a great oral on the subject.
