The tables on the road were only there for the inauguration day, but bike lane is here to stay.

Leave it like this (well replace the asphalt for nice tiles) and you'll actually get more people to come by and stay for a coffee, use the stores, etc..

They probably still need a serviceable road for deliveries. Probably no alley. Trucks can be heavy as for efficiency they load them up. Can’t use tile roads, they don’t hold up over time.

It depends on the type of tiles you use. Paris has a lot of tiled roads in pedestrian centric areas, they've been there for decades and are not more damaged than asphalt. They're changed every 15 years or so, from my experience living with a neigbborhood like this nearby.

Yes they do it at night, but they still need some road that can handle the load. Tile just doesn’t hold up.

The black road isn't tiled?

That is clearly asphalt

The user I responded to suggested to replace it with tile, I was providing a few reasons why it couldn’t be.
