“Take into account all specific needs”
In a press release, the Métropole de Lyon indicates that it wants “take into account all the specific needs of people who live, visit or work on the Presqu’île” so that they can reconcile “quality of life, economic prosperity and ecological transition.” The consultation will make it possible to collect opinions on several points: the list of user categories, the switchover time between the morning and afternoon regime, the operation of the limited traffic zone on weekends and the terms of access to the area.
Criticized by certain associations of traders and residents, this limited traffic zone has already been defined. It will extend from the bottom of the slopes of Croix-Rousse to the north of Bellecour, specifies the community. The Rhône and Saône quays will be outside the perimeter, so vehicles will not be impacted when crossing the city center. The Métropole de Lyon indicates that in this type of area, the “transit traffic of motorized vehicles (cars, utility vehicles, motorcycles, scooters) is not permitted” and must ensure greater comfort and safety for pedestrians. The objective is also to limit access to vehicles for local residents, delivery people, craftsmen and public transport.
