As part of the exchange and information meeting on November 14 on the progress of the Vallon des Hopitals urban project, a resident of Saint-Genis made a comment regarding the absence of drop-off points in front of the metro . “We cannot drop off or pick up passengers. It's a shame not to have taken it into account. »
Béatrice Vessiller, metropolitan vice-president in charge of Urban Planning and Land, indicates her disagreement to boos from the audience: “To force people to come to the metro other than by car. There is nowhere in the Sytral mobility network a drop-off at metro stations. However, we can still come and drop off passengers since there are a few parking spaces. »
The mayor does not share her opinion
“I have a divergent point of view on the question,” says the mayor (DVD), Marylène Millet. “I had the opportunity to show it to Bruno Bernard, president of Sytral when he came to Saint-Genis. It's a necessity. There are a lot of people leaving this station, I am thinking in particular of the students with their suitcases. We all park in the bus lane which leads to fines. The president was committed to studying this possibility,” maintains the councilor.
“A drop-off point has been set up at the Oullins metro station. It's practical. People don't park on it all day. We could perhaps integrate it into the urban project…”, slips the mayor.
