As part of her climate change plan, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo is pedestrianizing streets, building bike lanes, and planting trees. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions, reduce traffic noise and make the city more able to resist heat.

She has been very aggressive and upset some car drivers. But the results are starting to pay off.

would look better with flowers

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

It looks like they're going for natural wildflowers, which means that there will be periods of time where it's basically all just green. What you get in return though is lots of interesting grasses but the image is pretty low resolution so you can't really see all that.

I like your guess but I feel like it's mow.

Someone French please help!

[-] Horsey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In my accent I’d say “mo”.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Was that a street or a parking lot? Because I see cars on the far right side, and this dead ends anyway.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

That's just a street in Europe, it's what they look like.
