With an area of 2,367 m², it is largely covered with degraded asphalt that deserves to be completely redesigned. In addition, despite the presence of 23 trees offering welcome shade — mulberry plane trees, magnolias, oaks — several issues are observed: rainwater runoff towards the church during heavy rainfall, lack of lighting in certain areas, and disorderly parking, particularly in green spaces.

A MORE FUNCTIONAL PARKING LOT Faced with these findings, the Municipalité has launched a major redevelopment project with a clear vision: to make the parking lot more functional, safer, and more sustainable. The redevelopment of the parking lot aims to renew the worn surface to ensure better comfort and increased safety, to make parking spaces permeable to promote the natural infiltration of rainwater, thus limiting runoff, to adjust the leveling of the parking lot, especially on the church side, to prevent water from flowing towards the building, and to improve parking lot lighting, particularly along the boulodrome, which is currently poorly lit.

In addition, the Ville will install 8 charging stations for electric vehicles, in accordance with the LOM law (Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités), including one accessible to people with reduced mobility. For the commune, it is also a matter of optimizing the number of spaces and defining their boundaries by installing wooden bollards to prevent chaotic parking.

In short, a clear boundary for more organized parking and safer pedestrian access. Finally, the work will help preserve green spaces by preventing parking there and increasing shade with the planting of 7 additional standard trees.

This redevelopment is part of an ecological transition approach, combining modernization, an improved living environment, and respect for the environment. A project that is both useful, sustainable, and forward-looking.

The work is scheduled to last until the end of May.
