40,000 euro investment
"We wanted to install them in places where we stop and others where we walk, which are more places of passage", indicated Karine Engel, the municipal assistant in charge of citizenship.
The installation of these terminals, decided within the framework of the participatory budget, required 40,000 euros of investment.
These are available on Place de la Fraternité, Place François-Mitterrand, Boulevard des Deux-Croix, Place des Justices, Rue Eugénie-Mansion, Rue du Général-Lizé, Allée des Baladins and on the forecourt of Saint-Laud station.
The terminals will also be used by the “Place au vélo” association, which will provide training in bicycle repair.
