66 % of voters to extend the system – Liberation

The result is however to be compared to participation. Only 54,489 voters moved to the 218 open polling stations in the capital, or 3.9 % of people registered on the electoral lists. It is twice as much as in the previous two votes, who had seen some 8 % of the voters mobilize. The proposals were then more divisive: the tripling of the SUV parking rate in 2024, or the ban on self-service electric scooters, a year earlier.

What give grain to grind to the municipal opposition, which has continued to denounce a « COM » «  around a very consensual question. « Who is against the vegetation of the streets? » Person »thus quipped with Liberty Nelly Garnier, elected LR of the town hall of the 11th arrondissement.

Be that as it may, the left -wing municipality is reinforced in its choice to continue the pedestrianization and vegetation undertaken since the release of containment in 2020, around the famous « streets to schools ». More than 200 of these ways which serve schools have partially or completely closed to cars, with the reinforcement of many plantations. The 500 new eligible tracks are not yet determined. They will be from April, in each of the 20 arrondissements of the capital, for a deployment in the coming four years. Estimated average cost: between 300,000 euros at 800,000 euros per street.
