Anne Hidalgo Hidalgo and David Belliard, whose list is the big favorite of the ballot, want to make ecology and the reduction of pollution the "base" of their common project.
Speed limit to 30 km / h
They presented during a videoconference their "manifesto for Paris", which also includes objectives in terms of decentralization of governance, economy "driving the ecological transition" and to develop "solidarities".
"The health issue is a municipal issue, it is at the heart of our project," said Anne Hidalgo, emphasizing "the treatment of all pollution", for example that of lead due to the fire in Notre- Lady of Paris.
Half of the parking spaces will be used to enlarge the sidewalks
The joint program of environmentalists and "Paris en commun", Anne Hidalgo's electoral platform, plans to release diesel in 2024, limit speed to 30 km / h in Paris, create a network of tracks “Vélopolitain” cycle paths to cross Greater Paris by bicycle, or even the transformation of half of the parking spaces in five years to enlarge the sidewalks. Other projects: "Pedestrianize and green the surroundings of 300 schools", and create in each arrondissement at least one pedestrian center.
The ring road will also be transformed, with the creation of a lane reserved for shared transport (bus, shuttles, taxis, carpooling), and, ultimately, a cycle path. Of the 170,000 trees that the Paris City Council plans to plant, "a hundred thousand will concern the ring road," said Jean-Louis Missika, deputy mayor in charge of town planning. "We have to change the way of thinking about public space, there are too many individual cars," said David Belliard, for whom "diesel passenger buses in Paris are no longer possible!" "
