Cyclists rejoice, motorists will have to do with it. In an interview with  Le Parisien , Anne Hidalgo announces the sustainability of the 50 km of bike paths created during the deconfinement in Paris. On the other hand, it is not planned to develop them. “They will remain as they are, because I don't want to put the city under construction for that, but with David Belliard [deputy in charge of transport], we will look at what can be done to improve the aesthetics. Certain tracks will have to be better secured. […] I am thinking of Boulevard Magenta or Les Maréchaux. "

Restaurant owners are also smiling, less those looking for a place to park, because the mayor of Paris wants "also to perpetuate the terraces installed by restaurateurs [after deconfinement]. This will be discussed at the Paris Council in September. "

"An exceptional site like the Invalides" at Porte de la Chapelle

Regarding the peripheral, its passage to 50 km / h has not yet been recorded. The various scenarios concerning it must be "discussed with the mayors of all the municipalities concerned". But “by 2024, lanes [of the ring road] will be reserved for public transport, clean cars and carpooling. Until then, we will begin to massively revegetate the embankments, ”announces the mayor of Paris.

After a first term devoted to cycling, Anne Hidalgo indicates that her second will be "that of revegetation". She had already mentioned the urban forests on the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville or the Opéra Garnier. There, the mayor of Paris wants to “launch the great project of the Porte de la Chapelle: I want to make it an exceptional site, like the Invalides or the Champ-de-Mars. "
