Schiltigheim (67): The ecologist town hall is removing parking spaces for a cycle path... anger among shopkeepers. Nicolas, a printer and tenant for 25 years, is going to close
The timing is striking: the day after a meeting on Wednesday, July 2, between shopkeepers and the City of Schiltigheim on the cycle path project on the Bischwiller road, running from the 4-Vents crossroads to the Rue des Vosges crossroads, Nicolas Huss, manager of the NH3 services printing company, publicly announced that he was transferring his lease.
The complaint: the city will have to remove some 13 parking spaces on this road to install this two-way lane. Including those in front of his store, which are essential (…)
Nicolas Huss is furious. The manager of the NH3 Services printing company, located at 118 Route de Bischwiller in Schiltigheim (Alsace) for a quarter of a century, has made a radical decision: to transfer his commercial lease. This announcement has the effect of a bombshell, reports the newspaper DNA (Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace). (…)
This Alsatian affair echoes others. In Caluire-et-Cuire, in the Lyon metropolitan area, the development of cycle paths on the Strasbourg road sparked an outcry from residents last May. In fact, the removal of around thirty parking spaces left only 22 spaces for 84 families. Lyon residents organized an obstruction protest on Sunday, May 11, physically blocking the cycle paths with placards and banners. One of the protesters, Patricia Dominguez, already denounced the consequences of the new developments: "Shopkeepers will no longer have customers. Housing will sell for less." (…)
In Schiltigheim, one year before the municipal elections, the Green majority appears united in the face of a scattered opposition. With one major unknown: will Mayor Danielle Dambach once again lead the list? Nothing has been decided yet.
