The stylized red car splashed against a black background certainly looks threatening. The question posed on posters lining the streets of the French capital ahead of a referendum on Sunday is rhetorical: “Do you want more SUVs on the streets of Paris or fewer?”
Mayor Anne Hidalgo is hoping the 1.3 million Parisians entitled to vote will opt for the latter choice. “The bigger, the more environmentally damaging” is how the center-left politician sums up her views on cars. It’s around this stance, and others, that she has been radically remodeling Paris in recent years.
You can bet this is on Chowtown’s agenda.
