“Garden Street”. The formula of Jacques Baudrier (PCF) has all the makings of an oxymoron but it well sums up the latest invention of the City of Paris to green the capital. According to the deputy of Anne Hidalgo (PS) responsible for monitoring construction sites and coordinating work on public spaces, the recipe is simple: “You turn away all the cars, you pedestrianize and you do as much as possible greenery, by putting trees and strips of vegetation planted in the ground. » Beyond the slightly provocative formula, the reality is more complicated, continues the elected official: “We need streets without parking entrances where there is little passage, both wide enough and without pipes underneath to plant trees there. »
