At the Place de la Bourse/Beursplein in central Brussels, tourists and commuters pick their way around coils of plastic tubing, bright green construction barriers and piles of paving stones that have been ripped up in the name of urban improvement.
A few blocks north, the transformation is complete. What was once a busy boulevard clogged with traffic is now a car-free zone given over to pedestrians, bicycles, scooters and cafes taking advantage of the expanded sidewalk to offer alfresco dining.
The area’s redevelopment began in 2017, and, weather permitting, will be finished by the end of 2020. But that’s just the start. The city where the European Green Deal was unveiled to the European public will have its work cut out switching to transport fit for a carbon-neutral future.
The Green Deal promises to take the bloc to net-zero emissions by 2050 through investment in green technology and businesses, and bycutting transport emissions by 90%. Currently, transport is responsible for a quarter of the bloc’s greenhouse gas emissions, and unlike power generation, where emissions are falling, the climate impact of transport is getting worse.

A 10-year plan developed by regional authority Brussels Mobility, in consultation with municipal authorities and local residents, is aiming for a 25% reduction in car use by building new tram and metro lines, and encouraging walking and cycling.

And it will be full of dilapidated shops nobody much goes to by 2023, and they will have roads again so as to resume commerce by 2025.
Brussels sprouting...
They’ll probably erect a giant statue of GAIA that rises up to the clouds and all the pagan worshipers will follow a pathway up the statue to throw themselves off at the top. It’s a green solution.
I’m sure the Moslem terrorists who have attacked Brussels are shocked and awed at the greening of Brussels.
I wonder if Islam is on board with all the green new deal ideas?
Eurotrash have never been big fans of the peasants being able to travel any farther than they could walk. It might cause them to question the value of social nobility...
Don’t these idiots realize that the climate on this earth has being changing since God created it.
“What was once a busy boulevard clogged with traffic is now...” basically useless.
And it will be full of dilapidated shops nobody much goes to by 2023, and they will have roads again so as to resume commerce by 2025.

I don’t see them resuming anything.
The voters have no power and the leaders don’t give a flying f* about the problems of their “citizenry”.

Socialism is atheistic.
Once completed, Nobody will be able to Travel without Government Permission, for you will be DEPENDENT on Government on ALL Your Travel Requirements and Needs..

“I wonder if Islam is on board with all the green new deal ideas?”
They should be. It will reduce Brussels back to the way it was in he 7th century. Mohammed would feel very much at home.
This is hilarious and they still haven’t reduced their so-called carbon footprint as much as the US.
