Deliberation (15)
Questions (1)
Question A resident (collected by Michel W.)
Is there data on how many people use this route at different times?
Arguments (2)
Argument A resident (collected by Théo D.)
Rest points would let older residents keep walking independently for longer.
Argument A participant from Metz
Any furniture must not narrow the path for cyclists and pushchairs.
Evidence (1)
Evidence (with source) Mei P.
The city’s open-data portal lists footfall counts for this area; weekday mornings are the peak.
Concerns (1)
Concern Eva L.
Tree planting takes years to give shade; people need something this summer.
Alternatives (1)
Alternative A resident (collected by Mei P.)
Move the rest points to the park entrances instead of the quay itself.
Common ground (1)
Common ground Alain J.
Everyone agrees the path should stay accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Unresolved issues (1)
Unresolved issue Julien J.
Whether the budget covers lighting as well as seating is not settled.
Experiences, opinions & suggestions (7)
Personal experience Mei P.
As a delivery rider I use this route daily — the problem is worst between 7 and 9.
Opinion A resident (collected by Julien J.)
I would rather see a small trial first than a big plan that takes five years.
Personal experience Julien J.
As a delivery rider I use this route daily — the problem is worst between 7 and 9.
Personal experience A resident (collected by Eva L.)
We moved here two years ago and it took us months to find out this existed.
Opinion Théo D.
I think the priority should be the people who use it most, not the people who pass through.
Suggestion A resident (collected by Théo D.)
Start with a one-month trial using removable furniture.
Personal experience A participant from Metz
I run the Saturday market stall opposite and see this every week.

Not enough responses yet
How this is calculated. Only statements (arguments, concerns, alternatives, suggestions, common ground) can be weighed, once per person, as agree, disagree or unsure. Shares are of the people who responded to that statement — not of residents, and not of everyone on the platform. Popularity is not truth: a statement with broad agreement can still be wrong, and a minority concern can be decisive. Nothing here is a vote or a decision. Full methodology
