The significant mobilization for the study sponsored by the statein partnership with the mayors of Cantal, de facto partners, regarding the possible deviation from the RN122, brought a lot of material to the design office commissioned for the analysis of possible alternatives.

Communicate with those administered

The Mayor of Maurs, Florian Morelle, would like to thank all the people who mobilized by email, on the market, at the town hall, or during public meetingsin order to accept a constructive exchange around the same objective: improve the crossing of the sector of Maurs and Saint-Etienne-de-Maurs, its living environment, in facilitating mobility and by calming traffic and road safety.

At the initiative of the mayors, the different means of consultation and communication used aimed to allow everyone, all profiles, to be able to speak out and be informed.

“People came, wrote, argued, it's not trivial ! This shows that this National is essential and importantfor the population.” Indeed, for two years many people expressed themselves, some on the significant presence of trucks, and therefore dangerous and noisy character that this may entail, others on their concerns regarding attractiveness for businessesof Maurs in particular.

ACAM expresses its concerns

For David Caumon, president of the Association of Traders and Artisans of Maurs and the Maursois region, it is necessary at all costs avoid a huge drop in turnover and therefore a significant loss of resale value. “Today, Maurs gives the sensation ofan active city thanks to its shops and activities. He would like all traders remain accessibleto all customers.

Lots of concerns revealing a single possible and acceptable alternative in the eyes of the ACAMthe strengthening of securing bicycles and pedestrians but no deviation. And for him to mention the fact that in terms of security, it would be more judicious to arrange the portion of this National between Maurs and Bagnacincluding two turns very accident-pronethan to propose a city ​​bypasswhile compromises could be found.

Compromises to be found therefore, and choices to maketaking into account “the short and long term” as mentioned by Florian Morelle, with for example suggestions for workarounds only for trucks creation of roundabouts, etc. So many divergent proposals and opinions, which will be analyzed by the steering committeeorganized by the prefecture and the design office, in order to make the best decisions for this sensitive subject for the Maursois living area, before an upcoming return to the population.
