La Région Réunion et ses partenaires ont présenté ce mercredi un premier bilan de la participation aux États Généraux des Mobilités. Lancée depuis le 9 mai, cette vaste consultation citoyenne a déjà enregistré plus de 8.600 contributions partout dans l’île. Il est toujours possible de participer jusqu’au 23 juillet. Un bilan complet, réalisé en toute indépendance par les garants de la Commission Nationale du Débat Public (CNDP), sera présenté à la rentrée.

00:00 We are in the first phase of these General States of Mobility, where there were more
00:07 than 8,560 citizens who spoke out.
00:13 And it is until July 23, this Sunday, where they can make their contribution.
00:20 From there, there will be a second phase.
00:23 The National Commission will make a report, or rather commit a report, to summarize
00:32 everything that has been proposed by the citizens.
00:36 Then, there will be a roadmap, there will be this citizen assembly, where people,
00:43 the population, will be able to speak out on the modes of transport that they want to put in place,
00:48 that we will want to put in place.
00:50 I think this is the first time that there has been such a consultation, such a mobilization,
00:58 and that there will be such a citizen participation.
01:01 This is what we want.
01:03 People will tell us what they want for their land in the Reunion, which is so crowded,
01:08 so congested by car traffic.
01:11 And so, it is from there that there will be a roadmap.
01:15 And the third phase, this roadmap, it must be absolutely unquestionable,
01:20 since citizens will have participated, citizens will bring their stone to this building,
01:25 if we can say, it will not be there, but it is an important building.
01:30 It will concern the infrastructures that we would like to put in place, put in place,
01:35 so that we can circulate more and better, so that it is faster too,
01:41 because today we have a road network that is really congested.
01:45 It has been a while since there has been an emergency, when we have 400,000 cars on our roads,
01:50 well, there is an absolute emergency, because we are modifying this road,
01:56 this bad road that today takes place of traffic, of modes of traffic.
02:04 It is necessary, it is absolutely necessary that we do it.
02:07 And we are also right to enter the 100 billion that the State wants to dedicate to the rail network.
02:14 And that, you can count on us, the region, we are already studying what we can do.
02:20 And I think, well, I hope, it is the National Commission of the Public Debate
02:26 that will tell us what the Reunion people think of the rail network.
02:30 We want transport, that is, fast transport.
02:33 And fast transport has always told us that it was a monumental mistake
02:37 to have abandoned the tram, to have abandoned the small train in the middle of the last century.
02:43 And so it is the safest, fastest means,
02:46 which circulates more and better at times also much more interesting than buses.
