The traffic inconvenience caused by the narrowing of the road axis, which the Mayor has asked the technical services to correct, is an opportunity for his socialist opponent to speak again after the post-election silence. The issue is not the most urgent, but it allows Patrick Allemand to return to the scene. Finally…
I have repeatedly alerted public opinion about the project to reduce the traffic lanes on the Quai des Etats-Unis. Naturally, I do not contest the principle, but I assert that the timing chosen to quickly carry out this narrowing last November highlights once again the lack of a comprehensive vision from the Mayor of Nice.
It is incredible that these works were carried out even before the East-West tram line was put into service, which, let us recall, is planned for 2017-2019!
Once this line is open, we can imagine a significant reduction in East-West car traffic flows, and it is from that moment on that this project should have been undertaken.
Once again, for purely electoral reasons, the Mayor of Nice has “put the cart before the horse.” Indeed, he completed this narrowing in just four months right before the municipal elections, and now the people of Nice will “pay the price” daily for at least three years.
