During a meeting between residents of the area and Corine Parayre, deputy mayor, the blockage on the fiber installation file was discussed but it is mainly the TER Technicentre which is of concern.
Rue de Lutèce, a very small dead-end street, very nicely decorated with flowers, located behind the young workers’ home, in the Acacias district of Orléans: it was with these local residents that Corine Parayre, deputy mayor, had an appointment a few days ago.
Parking problems
About ten of them showed up. Among the subjects discussed, two which have nothing very original. The non-connection to fiber, firstly, knowing that Orange intends to provide an aerial service, which is refused by the town hall, which is campaigning for the burying of the networks and therefore refuses the installation of new poles.
Then parking: the National Centre for Territorial Public Service is singled out, which attracts a large number of trainees but does not offer them parking, hence the use of spaces in the Acacias sector.
On another note, a local resident felt that a single street lamp, instead of the two on the street, would be enough to provide lighting. Another mentioned the low visibility of the “dead end” sign posted at his entrance. Corine Parayre, for her part, announced the upcoming installation of a composter and a ping-pong table.

A noise barrier?
But the central issue was noise pollution. Rue de Lutèce runs alongside the railway line, which local residents say they can easily live with, as the traffic is not constant, unlike the hum generated by the Technicentre, located just behind it, which is used for maintaining the TER trains.
A low-intensity crackling, certainly, but uninterrupted and as such described as tiring. Discussions have already been initiated with management. Measures have been requested and promised… Without anything changing, however: “At times, there is an effort, but it does not last.” The wish of local residents would be for a noise barrier to be put in place. Corine Parayre has therefore undertaken to review the issue with the establishment’s managers.
