Paris has revealed plans for pedestrianizing the city that include creating 100 hectares of new pedestrian space by 2030 and transforming car lanes to human-friendly pathways and rain gardens.
Love this part: "walking is free, it's emission-free, it's noise-free, it's good for your health and, as we see every time we pedestrianise, it's also good for local businesses."
People-friendly cities for the win!

@erinwhalen That will be wonderful! Paris is a city made to be walked in!
@erinwhalen happening right across Europe.
@erinwhalen I wish we could do something like this in America.
@erinwhalen Hurray for Paris! Other cities need to follow their lead.
@erinwhalen @ccferrie And London can't even manage to do Soho.
@erinwhalen This would make me want to go back much more. There is so much to do in Paris, but it's a stinky car hell.
@erinwhalen As someone who spends a lot of time in a pedestrian-ized area, I hope that Paris doesn’t this as an opportunity to ignore traffic management in the area. Once the cars stop running over people, the bicycles quickly start doing the job.
@erinwhalen Unless you are disabled, though Paris is pretty good at helping the disabled.
