Ugh just look at all the ruined businesses! Nobody is there anymore! All the commerce is lost, and it became a dead zone in the city!
What car brained people actually believe when they see this happen.
Pretty sure many business owners do say this and I'm not sure why, when the evidence is clearly to the contrary.
"the places where it worked are different compared to my special snowflake case"
I like the look.
I hate cobblestone alleys :|
Doesn't look like proper cobblestone. This should be a lot nicer
Even if. Anythig not asphalt is very annoying to drive on with something like long-/skateboards.
We have some stretches of cobblestone on a bicycle road. When driving over it, you will have the great experience of a vibration plate at max strength.
Just driving over it at 20km/h for 10-15sek will take out all momentum and will make your legs numb as fuck.
But I can accept it in the pedestrian areas where you arent really meant to move by anything else than your legs.
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.
*dive through traffic
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.
What I love is that if you’d told me the after picture was actually a restoration, I’d’ve bought it.
They did a superb job of giving it the ambience of a traditional promenade.
Interesting
