This was decided so that motorists could go to the post office. They then exited on the left at the new market, crossing the square. A total aberration for defenders of soft mobility. This initial idea has just fallen through.

The mayor did not look favorably on the cohabitation of pedestrians and cars and the decision was endorsed by the College.

Exception

Exceptions are planned for delivery people who will be able to frequent businesses morning and evening. “We will block motorists at the entrance. A terminal will be present. It will only be open in the morning and evening like the Grand-rue. In summer, we found it a shame that cars passed under the hall. And I found it ugly that vehicles crossed the square. No one is complaining about the fact that this second entry will not see the light of day, everyone has gotten used to going around. We asked the architects to think about this and ultimately they thought the idea was good, especially for families and children. The only ones who will have a pass will be the postal workers.“, this Vincent Magnus.


Soon the end

The work on the park, carried out by the Galère company, should be completed by the end of January. The plantings have been completed and approval of the playground is awaited. Those who will not complain are the students of Inda who have completely different access to the center. Stairs and walls will provide seating.

On the other hand, we may be surprised by the fairly low height of the steps which already leaves some doubtful about the comfort of the climb. As for parking, it’s better to be Lilliputian. Cleaning will also need to follow when facing light-colored walls.

“When you pass through rue Netzer, it’s still much more pleasant than a wall,” observes the mayor who remembers the grumpy comments. We obviously remember that the park had been the subject of creative demonstrations against the felling of trees. It is in the spring that we will really be able to judge the relevance of the project in progress.
