“This will complicate life for Parisians.
But it will also, and above all, complicate the lives of non-Parisians who come to the capital to work, shop, have fun ... These measures to reduce the number of parking spaces and increase prices will add chaos to chaos!
Rachida Dati, mayor of the 7th arrondissement and head of the LR group on the Council of Paris, is not angry against the new parking policy of the municipal majority.
The opponent to the mayor (PS) of Paris sees in the future invoicing of motorized two-wheelers an attempt by the City to compensate for the loss of revenue which will result from the planned elimination of half of the parking spaces.
“It could lead to a loss of earnings of at least 180 million euros per year.
So we are now attacking two-wheelers ... contrary to what Anne Hidalgo had announced before the municipal campaign, "recalls Rachida Dati, who doubts the" ecological "interest of the future parking plan of the capital.
“The elimination of one in two spaces will increase traffic, cause new congestion, increase pollution!

“Is it a question of fighting pollution or of replenishing the coffers?” Asks Danielle Simonnet (PCF)

In Paris, the parking of motorcycles and scooters becomes chargeable
“There are a million people who come to work in Paris without having the means to live there.
They do not all have an alternative means of transport to the car.
And the tariff changes planned for professionals will not apply to employees, ”concludes the elected, not sure whether to vote for the future deliberation.
Co-chair of the group of Independents and progressives in the Council of Paris, the deputy (Agir) Pierre-Yves Bournazel is clearly less critical of the future parking “strategy” presented by the majority.
In any case with regard to the payment of motorized two-wheelers.
“I myself made this proposal in 2019. It was abnormal that bikers were the only ones not to pay for their occupation of the public domain.
"
Pierre-Yves Bournazel doubtful
Unreachable this Tuesday, Delphine Bürkli (DVD) would certainly say no less.
The one who co-chairs the group of Pierre-Yves Bournazel had she not submitted the idea, last January, that her 9th arrondissement serve as a test territory for the reform of parking for motorcycles and scooters?
The future increase in car parking prices, on the other hand, leaves Pierre-Yves Bournazel more dubious. “I am in favor of reducing the number of cars in town. But it would rather be a strategy of strong investments to develop alternatives to the car. To reduce pollution, we must give people the means to have more virtuous behaviors. By incentive measures. Not by raising prices. "
So, will the majority of Anne Hidalgo encounter difficulties in getting these new tariffs voted at the next Paris Council in July? She will obviously be able to count on her environmental allies: “These are proposals that we made during the campaign, demands even. We are satisfied that this reform is implemented from the start of the term of office. A reform unpopular with bikers, but popular with the greatest number. And which, it is true, allows new recipes to be generated. "
