Question 1950 — land use planning

Summary

Ms. Clémentine Autain draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Cohesion to the possible calling into question of the construction of lines 16 and 17 of the future Greater Paris metro. According to various sources, the future line 17 of the Grand Paris Express which is to connect Mesnil-Amelot to the RER station at Le Bourget could bear the brunt of the Government's next financial decisions. This is unacceptable! Bercy's recent announcements go into the meaning of the statements of the Prime Minister, who mentioned in the summer of 2017 the possibility of reconsidering line 17 in its timetable and its dimensioning. While the Société du Grand Paris should see its investment budget cut by several hundred million euros, the northern section of the line, although declared of public utility by a decree published in the Official Journal on February 16, 2017, could be the first victim of the 2018 budget. This questioning, for the benefit of the contested “CDG express” project, would further strengthen the territorial divide in the North of Ile-de-France and in particular in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. However, as the former Secretary of State for the development of the Île-de-France region, Christian Blanc, points out, "there is a differential of one to ten between line 17 and that of the CDG express, of which there is It would be appropriate to demonstrate, which has not been done, the profitability with a ticket price of more than 25 euros. A fortiori, the main argument put forward by the Government of the risk of cost slippage is ineffective since the financing of the future metro is exclusively taken from the wealth produced in Île-de-France. In a department already strongly affected by the economic crisis and inequalities in public transport, the construction of lines 16 and 17, in full compliance with the master plan for the Île-de-France region (SDRIF), is a necessity. Line 17 must serve one of the region's major employment centers located between Charles de Gaulle and Le Bourget airports and facilitate the travel of thousands of employees working on the airport platform. In the same sense, the construction of line 17 is essential in view of the games Paris Olympics in 2024. Located between Charles de Gaulle and Le Bourget airports, it will serve the main strategic sites of this international sporting event: the Olympic village in Saint-Denis Pleyel, the Bourget media village, the future Colisée in Tremblay-en-France as well as the Aérolians-Paris Nord 2 international activity zone. Finally, line 17 of the future metro is a tremendous asset to succeed in the ecological transition on the scale of the Greater Paris metropolis. While currently, more than 90% of trips to the Paris-Charles De Gaulle airport area are made by car, the construction of line 17, fully integrated into the future Ile-de-France public transport network, will strengthen the possibilities of access to employment for the populations of the north-east of Ile-de-France. Along the same lines, some information indicate that the initial route of line 16 which was to serve the towns of Sevran and Clichy-Montfermeil would be called into question, the new line stopping at Aulnay-sous-Bois. Here again, the most popular towns in Île-de-France, located in the northeast of the Seine-Saint-Denis department, will be left behind. Once again, Sevran, Clichy and Montfermeil, which have been demanding transport for several decades additional, will not benefit from this missed opportunity. However, we know that opening up these cities would be one of the first levers to enable them to develop new economic prospects. As part of the future Greater Paris metro project which constitutes a formidable asset for the dynamism of the territories and a tool for rebalancing transport inequalities between the center and the territories peri-urban areas in Ile-de-France, she asks him to make a clear commitment to the construction of lines 16 and 17, essential for the north of Paris. The Government must make a clear commitment to its achievement. With elected officials of all sensibilities from the north of Paris, it will continue to mobilize for lines 16 and 17 of the future Greater Paris metro. Their production is of public utility. She therefore wishes to know his intentions on the subject.
