We don’t give up ! »
For many months, the boulevards of Orient, Berthelot, Vieussens and Rabelais, in Montpellier, have been victims of monstrous traffic jams, since the closure of the Comédie tunnel and other axes, and the construction site of line 5 of the tram .
“We are extremely motivated”
“The association maintains that the latest decrees regulating traffic are contrary to the objectives of the Territorial Coherence Scheme, but also to the provisions of the Environmental Code, indicated the residents a few days before the court hearing. We are extremely motivated to assert our rights. »
Questioned 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 the 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, she confided, difficult to operate any report of traffic without cars invading other streets.
