The headline is misleading, I have one of these streets just in front of my building and there is a road lane and parking spots. They basically removed 1 lane and divided by three or four the number of parking slots, to replace them by larger sidewalk and a lot more vegetation.
I've voted for this policy to be extended to other streets, but I've to admit that the process was debatable: less than 5% of parisians have voted, and the list of streets to be remade is still to be established.
