Drawing. Barrier gestures, social distancing, COVID-19 Coronavirus, Deconfinement - SYSPEO / SIPA

  • The city of Strasbourg is putting online a questionnaire on its participative platform to imagine better deconfinement.
  • The executive ensures that he takes into account the requested changes and comments.
  • In addition to the implementation of certain measures proposed by the participants in the near future, the results of this consultation will be presented to the crisis exit advisory board, chaired by the Nobel Prize in medicine Jules Hoffmann.

People without masks annoy you? Do the masks thrown on the floor revolt you? Do you have ideas to help the most vulnerable? It is to respond to the concerns of Strasbourg residents and to capture good intentions that the city has decided to use its online citizen participation site. Objective, collect good ideas, good wills and identify a trend.

Open questions

Nearly 150 Strasbourg residents have already answered the questionnaire. The experience, initially open until May 21, is even postponed until May 25. And "it is widely read" by the executive ensures Chantal Cutajar, deputy mayor in charge of local democracy and concertation policy. "Concrete solutions are quickly put in place," says the elected official. But we can already read how much the concerns concerning the protection of people on the street, the non-use of masks or even the non-respect of barrier gestures hold the upper hand to avoid a second wave of Covid-19.

Initially planned to receive online petitions and submit them, depending on the success, to the municipal council, the participative platform this time offers a questionnaire with eight questions.

These proposals will also go back to the ears of the crisis exit advisory council, formed around Roland Ries and chaired by Jules Hoffmann, Nobel Prize in medicine. Because the idea is to help (and therefore gain acceptance by the greatest number) an in-depth reform of lifestyles, "the way of living the city".

Part of the questions also questions budgetary priorities, because the Covid-19 crisis has already "put local finances under stress," explains Chantal Cutajar. At the end of April, the overall impact on the municipal budget reached almost 10 million euros. And the elected official warns: "The 2020 additional budget will be strongly impacted and budgetary decisions will have to be made to rebalance the city's finances." Now know which municipal team will inherit the gift ... It will depend on the date of the second round of municipal elections.
