The city’s new climate plan promises to drop speed limits, repurpose traffic lanes, remove 60,000 parking spots and create urban “oases” to combat extreme heat.
Because the parking spot reduxtion is one number. You surely don’t expect them to list all the current speed limits (probably quite a few different ones throuout the city) and the different reductions of those.
Thats not the issue here FFS. Its about drop which can mean TWO THINGS. But sure who ever wrote that teaser could have just said that Paris is reducing the amount of parking spaces.
When they want to be specific in the teaser they need to be consistent across the board.
No way. When something numerical is “dropped” it usually means lowered. Especially in the form “drop numerical value”, as was this case.
There is no numeric value in that teaser text though. “[…] promises to drop speed limits”
Because speed limits are usually given in essays?
They are numerical values even if not explicitly stated here because the details are not that important.
then why are the 60.000 parking spots mentioned? Why not just parking spots?
