Paris paved the parking lot, and put up the pyramids

Roads that once hemmed in the river were liberated during the pandemic as temporary bike roads.
The paths became part of Le Plan vélo de Paris, Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s $650 million two-part plan over 10 years to increase bike infrastructure.
During rush hour, there are more bikes than cars on Parisian streets for the first time ever.
The Louvre's iconic glass pyramids stand where there was once a parking lot.
Now, Canadian leaders can choose: the pyramid or the parking lot.
