A cyclist died further down that same street a few days ago, run over by a truck.

Paris is doing a lot to improve its infrastructure, but there's still plenty more to be done.
Yes, don't allow trucks in big cities.
I mean that's... not realistic, but road infrastructure can protect cyclists if it's properly designed. Paris is making those changes, but as its cyclist population increases, the areas which haven't been renovated are turning into death traps.
If you think groceries are expensive now, that's going to get a lot worse when we start maintaining grocery store inventories with cargo bikes.
How do you honestly think that will work? No more deliveries, no more construction, no more waste collection? Sure, you could argue some things (but not all) could be done with smaller trucks, but no trucks at all means the city will die.
