New session of Jacques Peyrat’s program between two tours of the markets in Nice. The pressure is mounting gradually, and voters, as the Artenice survey shows, are far from having all made their choice. So, canvassing the field is probably the best way to meet them and try to convince them.
Jacques Peyrat’s major investments are not dizzying in terms of surprises… “it’s about completing already planned initiatives, and I wonder why Christian Estrosi hasn’t already done it,” he says.
Only one of them gets the honor of the chronicle: Moving the Main City Hall to the South Station: “The media library is not in its place and has modest attendance — This is the diagnosis of the former mayor of Nice — and its use as the seat of the Court of Appeal, which Nice must strongly request from the Ministry of Justice, backed by the unified call of the lawyers from Nice and Grasse, and the fact that 45% of the cases handled by the Aix Court of Appeal can be redirected to the Alpes-Maritimes department.
The idea has a certain logic… Will it be enough to survive the post-municipal elections, which will inexorably sweep away nearly all the ideas of those who challenged the winner!
It’s the law of the strongest, not necessarily the one who is right!
His other major projects:
1 — Arrangement of the Ray Stadium with the conservation of current sports equipment and a large wooded park following the removal of large concrete stands and using movable ones that can be relocated to the Arboras Stadium to complete it.
2 — The main idea for the South Station has already been advanced but also more underground parking and sports halls.
3 — Regarding the tramway, everything has already been said: The controversies have a presence. There remains the strongest aversion to the underground line and a host of reasons to oppose it.
4 — The multi-modal station to the west of the city would be located on the current grounds of the MIN.
5 — In its continuation, the Exhibition Palace, moved from its current site, and open to major trade shows in addition to the Nice Fair, would be the beginning of the Eco-Valley, of which the former mayor claims parenthood (“I don’t recall Christian Estrosi, when he was Minister of Territorial Planning, taking much care of Nice. He was more focused on his career, I was well-placed to know, given the little attention he had for the files that were sent from Nice to the government at the time.”).
6 — The former Exhibition Palace can very well become a beautiful Sports Palace, an amenity that Nice lacks and which could thus complete the “sports” side of the area by connecting with Jean Bouin.
7 — A final delicate topic: the remand center… “atrocious!!!” as Jacques Peyrat says in his capacity as a criminal lawyer and thus a connoisseur of the place and the challenges of prison management.
There is only one possible destination: the Plaine du Var.
The controversies? It was the former mayor’s conclusion — They are unfounded! First, because to build a prison, you need 10 hectares and the OIN comprises 10,000, there is room to put it into perspective.
Then, it’s a Metropolitan issue, and I understand that the latter was built on the principle of pooling. Here’s a good reason to call on it!”.
