Christian Estrosi’s statement regarding the development of tram lines (extension of line 1 to the Pasteur hospital in spring 2013 and the inauguration of line 2 in 2017) asserts that the extension to La Trinité via Ariane is not a priority.
When a project is said to be completed “by 2030,” it actually means that the project will remain on hold and someone else will take care of it. We have seen better planning.
However, the municipal opposition does not intend to stop there, and we can already anticipate promising controversies!
First salvo by Abderrazak Fetnan, City Councilor of the Changer d’Ere Group and Metropolitan Councilor of Nice Côte d’Azur.
Christian Estrosi wants the Ariane district to remain cut off from the center of Nice until 2030
Christian Estrosi has once again delayed the arrival of the tramway to Ariane.
He announces its arrival at Ariane “by 2030.” Surely, with the next announcement, he will claim it will be in 2050.
Before 2008, Jacques Peyrat openly said that he did not want the Arianencs to “come down” to the city center.
Through his statements, the mayor of Nice shows that he is on the same wavelength as his predecessor. He also clearly indicates that he does not wish for the integration of the Ariane district with the rest of Nice.
This is a deviation from the very principles of urban policy!
It is worth recalling that, already in the Espoir Banlieue plan, the priority was the opening up of neighborhoods through efficient transportation means.
Three days after the proximity summit, it is the height of bad faith!
The residents of Ariane will not resign themselves to this exclusion.
