What the Paris Council said about it
6 moments chosen out of the 43 deliberations read. Each line opens the document.
APRIL 2025The contractual deadline and the figures in the recordGrants to the five integration associations that maintain the line, and a Communist motion on renewing the 2015 framework agreement, which had reached its term; the City announced 11.5 kilometers accessible in 2026 across 9 arrondissements.NOVEMBER 2018The conflict over who decides on the built heritageA motion filed after the withdrawal of a plan for a City-SNCF simplified joint-stock company (SAS) on the future of the Petite Ceinture's buildings, which had been called a "cash machine" and criticized for its governance; unfavorable opinion from the executive.FEBRUARY 2018The City becomes manager, not just occupantA management-transfer agreement for PC 17: the City committed to taking on the maintenance, day-to-day management and surveillance of more than 16,000 m², which the mayor of the 17th arrondissement judged to lack any guarantee of resources.NOVEMBER 2013The promenade open, its uses and its conflictsAn amendment to the 15th arrondissement's works contract for educational panels and a link to a tennis court; the debate covered graffiti, stones thrown at residents, the no-bin experiment, and the weekend closing time.JULY 2011First section placed under agreement, then developedSigning with RFF of a temporary occupancy agreement on the Balard-Olivier de Serres stretch (15th arrondissement) and extension of the framework agreement; the mayor of the 15th arrondissement recalled a consultation process that had brought together 300 residents, and a delay in the schedule.MAY 2006The contractual framework that makes reconversion possibleA motion accompanying the City-RFF protocol concluded for five years: the Council noted that no railway project had been confirmed and called for the swift launch of the paths, gardens and recreational uses planned on the extra-width strips and the track bed.2 more moments, 2012–2019
SEPTEMBER 2019The rules of use for a deliberately bare siteRefusal to allow leashed dogs on the coulée verte Pereire, opened in August: the deputy mayor stood by the choice not to add more bins, ashtrays and benches, in order to preserve the site's character.OCTOBER 2012What consultation costs, and what delays itA topical question on the consensus conference, adopted a year earlier and still not launched: 80,000 euros had been entered in the supplementary budget for project owner assistance, after a projection had been brought down from 150,000 euros.Same kind
