While elected officials were called to decide on the name, Right Bank district, of rue des Abattoirs in rue Jean-Monnet, considered the founding father of the European Union, Manon Pellicori (EELV) took advantage of it, against all expectations , to cut to the chase. “Since we are talking about the Abattoirs district, I was quite surprised to read in the newspaper that during the public meeting on the Right Bank last Tuesday at the Belfry, there were people who learned that their building [situé 6-8, chemin des Bains] was going to be destroyed to be rebuilt elsewhere. It’s quite violent! »
Having herself participated in this meeting, Brigitte Vaïsse “shares this opinion. Especially since at the same time, their lessor, ICF Habitat, is rebuilding a building wedged between the Allies Bridge, the railway tracks and the future silo parking lot. I understand that these residents are worried when we talk to them about rehousing. » For the PS elected official, what doesn’t work is the form. “It’s contempt. We present people with a fait accompli. You can still imagine the feelings of these people who have lived there for years, a good number of whom are retirees. It’s not cars or bikes that we’re moving, but people,” she fumes. “We are holding consultations even though the ZAC Rive Droite has not been created. For me there is a form of precipitation. » As for the residential building under construction along the railway line, and intended for access, she is not budge. “But who is going to want to buy this? When we prepare the city of 2030, we also think, I hope, about the quality of life in 2030.”
“This is not a fixed project”
Town planning assistant, Roger Schreiber wants to be calming. “It was a consultation meeting, provided for by the Town Planning Code. We are not on a fixed project,” he assures. “But when you say that there are buildings that will be destroyed, I answer Fortunately , because they contain asbestos and generate pollution. »And to specify that this demolition “will be the responsibility of the future builder”.
The mayor, Pierre Cuny, says he “completely subscribes” to the comments of Ms. Pellicori and Ms. Vaïsse. “I will hold ICF accountable. It’s this social landlord [et non la mairie, NDLR] who planned to destroy these buildings within five to seven years. It is unacceptable that some residents do not have this information. » Concerning the station, “a district which was not of interest to urban planning structures in the past”, he insists on his wish to organize public meetings there with residents. “It’s a neighborhood that will experience a huge change,” he predicts. “In six years, double the number of passengers will use it. There is already a strong demand from cross-border workers who want to settle there. » Not sure, however, that they will be won over by the positioning flush with the wagons and catenaries of the new building to come.
