This summer, the municipality will carry out nearly 1,800 projects in its schools, colleges, nurseries, cultural places or swimming pools for a total amount of 170 million euros, indicated during a press briefing the communist assistant for public construction, Jacques Baudrier. In particular, it will create 27 green schoolyards and 21 “school streets” made pedestrian or semi-pedestrian, while work on cycle paths will start or continue on strategic axes such as the Grands boulevards, Avenue de la République or rue La Fayette.
In June, construction sites in the city represent only 9% of all of the more than 5,000 construction sites in the capital, but almost half (46%) of the area concerned. Work on private buildings is the majority (62%).
Tram extension
The road management will also launch 34 “beautify your district” projects, grouping them with those of the operators (Enedis, RTE, GRDF, Eau de Paris, etc.), so that the district only undergoes one tight period of work.
In terms of major projects, the extension of the tramway is continuing in the northwest, where work on Porte Maillot is starting with the objective of “delivering them for the Games” despite the delays and additional costs of the extension of the RER E, indicated Mr. Baudrier. Work on another gate, that of La Chapelle, will start in the fall and will also be completed before the Olympics, such as the Arena located in this district, a first renovation of the Champs-Elysées or the urban forest of the square. of Catalonia, near Montparnasse.
