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

Every 15 years is terrible for road length, you’re kinda proving my point. Costly replacement too. It just doesn’t work for any type of road that needs to carry loads.
Or any place with extreme weather, or a lot of rain, or etc.
Tiles aren’t for heavy traffic.
Sure, but that doesn't make them not viable for pedestrian centric areas. The point isn't durability or low cost, it's enjoying a city center.
And they're not replaced because they're broken, they're replaced because they turn ugly.
Shops can use a rug, there’s lot more efficient, durable and less costly options that provide the same or better.
They break, and they’re ugly from wear. They’re worn because they’re not the right material for the use case. And no one wants to cart a hand dolly on broken tile. You’re really doing a fantastic job giving more reasons why tile shouldn’t be used when heavy loads are anticipated……
And yet the trend in cities like Paris is to move to these type of roads instead of asphalt... You should call them, tell them they're wasting their money
Because they likely have alleys that delivery vans go down, I already addressed that in my first comment ;)
It’s almost like people probably are using g the best material for the situation since you know, they live there and designed it =D
Being a smart ass doesn’t work when your “opinion” was already covered by the person you responded to.
