  • The metropolitan council for the climate was installed Thursday in Nice.

  • Among its first measures, from June 1, a decree, subject to the validation of the prefect, must prohibit access to vehicles over 3.5 t to the promenade des Anglais and the quai des Etats-Unis.

    Until then, 1,800 used it every day.

They were even greeted by the Citizen Collective 06. Hitherto very critical of the environmental policy of the Nice community, the association welcomed the first announcements of the metropolitan council for the climate, installed Thursday, while claiming " the regular publication of its results ”.

Particularly in terms of improving air quality.

And its first measures, which are in addition to the bicycle plan already presented, relate in particular to road traffic, where the bottom hurts according to a recent report by the Climate Action Network, Unicef ​​and Greenpeace.

Over 3.5 t excluded from June 1

From a low emission zone (ZFE), with access prohibited to polluting private cars, it is not (yet?) A question even if the government requires it by the end of the year in Nice Côte d 'Azur, as well as six other metropolises.

"I will not take a sanction against motorists if heavy goods vehicles are not regulated first", jusitifie Christian Estrosi.

A decree, subject to the validation of the prefect, will prohibit from June 1 access to vehicles over 3.5 t to the promenade des Anglais and the quai des Etats-Unis, where they would be 1,800 every day.

For the elected LR, the conditions for the establishment of an ZFE are not met and in particular the "free bypass of the Nice motorway".

It returns the responsibility to the State.

Zone 30 and hybrid vessel

By 2025, and "in phases", the metropolitan council for the climate will also establish "a calmed traffic zone at 30 km / h generalized between the boulevards Grosso and Carabacel" in Nice, as revealed

20 Minutes

from December.

No more traffic lights (except for trams) in these neighborhoods where Christian Estrosi expects "a 10% drop in global pollutant emissions".

The other revolution will come from the sea. In the boxes for years, the project of a shuttle between the port of Nice and Cap d'Ail, to serve Monaco, will become reality this summer.

A hybrid vessel initially, then “electric or hydrogen powered” eventually, will provide rotations for home-work trips in particular.
