A public meeting took place at the Espace Maurice-Béjart to discuss the evolution of the traffic direction on Rue de l’Étang. The aim was to gather residents' opinions to improve the safety and tranquility of the neighborhood.
Following a presentation of the issues encountered on Rue de l’Étang by the municipal police, Anthony Herry, deputy mayor for traffic, mobility, and parking, proposed several potential solutions: one-way traffic (downhill towards Verneuil or uphill towards Vernouillet) or maintaining two-way traffic with modifications such as chicanes or parking restrictions.
The discussions allowed residents to voice their concerns based on their usage patterns (pedestrians, motorists, speed, parking, safety), thereby enriching the debate and fostering the emergence of development solutions.
At the end of the consultation, a secret ballot revealed a clear preference for maintaining two-way traffic, which was favored by 82.8% of voters. One-way traffic downhill towards Verneuil received 14.1% of the votes, and uphill towards Vernouillet, only 3.1%.
“"I thank all the residents for their presence, safety remains our priority, the Rue de l'Étang consultation is part of a global plan for traffic within the municipality. All your feedback will allow us to build our reflection on the developments to be implemented with the Grand Paris Seine & Oise – GPSEO urban community."
The Mayor of Verneuil sur Seine, Fabien Aufrechter, concluded the evening by emphasizing the importance of this feedback for implementing future developments.
