Deliberation (17)
Questions (2)
Question A resident (collected by Yasmine S.)
What would it cost to maintain each year, not just to build?
Question A resident (collected by Victor D.)
Is there data on how many people use this route at different times?
Arguments (2)
Argument A resident (collected by Odile C.)
Using local artisans keeps the budget in the neighbourhood.
Argument A resident (collected by Yasmine D.)
Shade is a health measure, not decoration, during heatwaves.
Evidence (0)

Benches could attract noise late at night near homes.
Alternatives (2)
Alternative A resident (collected by Justine Z.)

Alternative A participant from Lyon

Suggestion Nadia K.
Put a QR code on site so people can report problems directly here.
Personal experience A resident (collected by Sylvain J.)
I walk here every morning with my mother; there is nowhere to sit for 800 metres.
Opinion Julien B.
This seems worth doing, but only if local residents are involved in maintaining it.
Suggestion Odile C.
Put a QR code on site so people can report problems directly here.
Personal experience A resident (collected by Mei V.)
My children’s school is next door; parents have raised it at every meeting.
Opinion Quentin K.
This seems worth doing, but only if local residents are involved in maintaining it.
Opinion Sophie N.
I think the priority should be the people who use it most, not the people who pass through.

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
