During the transport strikes last december/january, Paris had a huge surge in commuting by foot/bike/scooters; it is possible to make it happen again, it worked well, actually so well that bike lanes became too crowded, sometimes more than car lanes. I think they are aiming to make the same kind of "behavior" happen after may 11th, but enhanced.
Cars were in surge too at that time mostly for people not living inside Paris but needing to go inside, since the distance plus less bike lanes in the cities around makes bikes impractical for that use case. That's likely to happen again, sadly there is no good way to solve both inside-inside and inside-outside street sharing at the same time...
