Question 14480 — transportation

Summary

Mr. Régis Juanico questions the Minister, alongside the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, on the facilitation of mobility between Lyon and Saint-Étienne. The minister announced, on October 17, 2018, the abandonment of the A45 motorway project between La Fouillouse and Brignais and the maintenance of state investments of 400 million euros to improve the mobility of travelers between Saint-Étienne and Lyon. This is a common sense decision which turns the page on an old project which has for too long obscured any collective reflection on the connection between the two first cities in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is in line with the report of the Infrastructure Orientation Council, chaired by Philippe Duron, entitled “Everyday mobility: responding to emergencies and preparing for the future” and published on February 1 2018. We must now move forward quickly on alternative avenues for improving the connection between Saint-Étienne and Lyon: doubling the number of passengers on the rail link, widening the existing motorway (A47), second bridge crossing the Rhône at Givors, development of carpooling. However, the absence of the A45 in the future mobility orientation law will not in itself be enough to allow consider the project definitively abandoned. Also, he asks him by what formal elements of a legal nature the Government intends to formalize this decision and in particular, if it plans to repeal the declaration of public utility of 2008 and to indicate the timetable and the methods of organizing the multimodal public debate recommended in the Duron report to move forward on alternatives.
