Flush from this year's victory over banning rental electric scooters, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has a new on-street target in her sights in the form of SUVs, reports BBC News.
Bidding for a place in history as the woman who made Paris green, she has promised another city referendum.
The vote next February will be on whether to increase parking fees for so-called sports utility vehicles.
If last April's e-scooter referendum is anything to go by, the mayor should be confident of another easy victory.
On that occasion only a fraction of the electorate turned out, and they were in their vast majority people who actively hated e-scooters.
For SUVs, Ms Hidalgo has promised that residents of Paris proper will not be affected. In any case, ownership of SUVs - and of cars in general - is relatively low inside the capital's 20 arrondissements or districts. So opposition will be minimal.
Rather, the people most inconvenienced by higher parking fees are suburbanites who drive SUVs into Paris for work or pleasure. Handily, they won't be voting.
The 64-year-old Socialist had been promising a new initiative to build on the e-scooter ban.
But the timing has raised suspicions that she's using it to divert attention from her own SUV - as in Startlingly Unnecessary Voyage.
