While this is nice, I do not really see any places where one can now cross the street?
Some cut-outs for pedestrians would probably be helpful for people who need to access a building on the other side.
I don’t mean crosswalks, I mean places where people can cut through the greenery to get to the “road”.
As it stands now I don’t see a way for people to actually get to the other side of the street.
Maybe they exist, but I don’t see them in the picture…
Definitely agreed. Strictly better than cars, but there has to be something we’re missing here, else this is a huuuge pain in the ass for literally no reason.
I have to disagree. Amenities such as benchs, and playgrounds can be place into the next street but there is a need to add important vegetation at least in some streets of dense urban environment to deal with heat wave and flood issues.
The problem isn’t the vegetation; it’s the lack of outlets to the other side of the road amid the vegetation. From the perspective shown here, it’s a solid 40-ish meters until the next entrance to the sidewalk.

Rue du Dr Paquelin was pedestrianized so crosswalks aren’t really needed.
It’s a very small street.

You mean like access front doors of buildings? It looks like they block everything.
Oh, I see what you mean. You’re right, if there’s a path through the bushes it’s not obvious.
I think you see the start of a path halfway down the road on both sides
Yeah. I’d do more little islands instead, which would also give space for other stuff, like benches or other seating areas, bike racks, etc.
Move the road over to one side, and give double space for greenery on the other side.
Then you can add benches, playgrounds, etc.
Still… As it currently stands it is an improvement over what came before

That is probably just perspective. By zooming, I can see two possibles places when they might be outlets.
Idk looks like a pretty short street to me I’d say it’s fine
