FOCUS – The square in front of the socio-cultural space of the Plateau, located at the edge of the Mistral district and the Eaux-Claires district, must be redeveloped. The municipality wants to “debit” the place and plant trees to create an island of freshness. Problem: some residents blame the town hall for a lack of consultation around this renovation. The municipality ensures for its part that users have been consulted on this project.

“We are all the same in Grenoble, in a city or in its very essence, participation is a fundamental element, so sitting down on consultation is not possible! “, protests Bruno Ferrand. This inhabitant committed to the life of the Eaux-Claires district has not taken off since the announcement of the renovation of the square of the socio-cultural space of the Plateau, located at the edge of his district and the Mistral district.
The place in question is covered with a large concrete slab. During the urban renovation in the early 2000s, this square was designed as a new neighborhood heart. With, since 2018, a market that brings together some local producers.
But it is devoid of any tree. And the temperature is rising rapidly. ” One of the difficulties of this place is the terrible heat that reigns there, especially in summer », Explains Élisa Martin, first assistant to the City of Grenoble.
