2007, the big hope !
The tramway on the Promenade in 2014?
 2007: Finally the tramway shall pass on the Promenade in
2014? The roll-on of the tramway on Place Massena just
before the Christmas season is all about good news for
everyone. This means that the tramway will be fully
operational by the end of 2007.The roadworks are going to be
over and the streets where the tramway will pass will be
completely beautified. Also in 2007 will be the opening of
the expansion of the expressway which will double its
capacity. Within a year from now the quality of the air will
improve. It will be easier to drive amidst the streets of
Nice as well as on the Promenade which will remain the
favorite access road to most of the inhabitants of the
French Riviera who are using it to go to work.
The Nice Cote d’Azur Metropolitan Authority is just not
waiting for the people to experience such relief to initiate
as early as this coming January an official public survey on
the opportunity to create the tramway line number 2 between
Nice and Cagnes-sur-Mer. However it is not certain whether
the people along this route will appreciate to have new
roadworks. We just hope that they will be able to overcome
their past griefs and to foresee on the other hand the
benefits of such an extension on the quality of living the
moment this silent, environment-friendly and cost-efficient
transportation solution will be operational. The public is
invited to express their choices on the various routes
proposed for this new line.
Why not on the Promenade? Should the tramway pass on the
Promenade it would be a very good solution to upgrade our «Champs-Elysées»,
to reduce the traffic and to give back the Promenade des
Anglais to the inhabitants of Nice. Such a proposal should
at least be considered. Therefore, this is with such a big
hope that I send all of you all my best wishes, good health,
happiness and prosperity in the coming year 2007.
