For months, an incessant ballet of cars and trucks has been saturating the boulevards of Orient, Berthelot, Vieussens and Rabelais, in Montpellier (Hérault). Since the closure of the Comédie tunnel and other axes, and the start of work on line 5 of the tramway, traffic jams have been monstrous in the sector, particularly at rush hour. Exasperated, local residents created the Association of 4 boulevards.
This Thursday, these inhabitants had an appointment before the administrative court, which they seized, so that it decides on the merits of the decisions of the municipality.
“Together, we will not give up”
“The association argues that the latest bylaws regulating traffic are contrary to the objectives of Scot [Schéma de cohérence territoriale], but also to the provisions of the Environmental Code, indicate the residents. We are extremely motivated to assert our most basic rights. Together, we won’t give up! »
Questioned on this subject, on September 29, by 20 Minutes, Julie Frêche (PS), the elected representative for mobility, had indicated that she understood “all the emotion that an increase in traffic can arouse” in this district. “They asked us to make adaptations. On the 30 km/h marking, on secure intersections, on the passage of trucks. All this, we will respond favorably. “But for the moment, it is difficult to carry out any postponement of traffic without cars invading other streets.
