This time, it’s concrete. The first buildings are emerging from the ground, following winding administrative procedures. If the park is expected on the banks of the Meuse, and will undoubtedly bring added value to the neighborhood, it brings with it its share of surprises. At least for some local residents who did not realize what the plans were going to look like “in real life”. The higher the blocks go, the more desolate they become, particularly rue Petit, Ribot and de la Libération.
This couple, who rents a house in the area, does not understand the location of the buildings. “They might have put the reception building a little further away. We’re a little disappointed all the same. Such a beautiful view we had…” And added: “Many complain in the neighborhood. The building doesn’t is not suitable. There was plenty of space elsewhere. It’s incredible to build it like that, in front of the houses. But on the other hand, people should have moved before and gone to see the file. Now, it’s not suitable. is too late. Permits are granted.” These interlocutors, however, put things into perspective: “On the other hand, it’s better than apartments. And the rest of us, we still have the garden behind. She has nothing…”, they confide, speaking of Arlette, a neighbor sitting on a bench in front of number 3 rue Petit. With her dog, which she holds tightly on a leash, she seems disappointed.
When we approach her regarding this, she raises her head to the sky: “Ouch, ouch, ouch, it’s complicated,” she says. Arlette says: “They told me that I knew we were going to make a park, that there were going to be buildings. But I didn’t know all that. They said to me: ‘Haven’t you seen the plans?’ But you have to be an architect to understand. When the roof is in place, I won’t really see anything anymore. I’m not very happy. It spoils my view, I can’t even see the barges anymore.” She says she contacted the Works alderwoman and the mayor regarding this. “Initially, I had a house overlooking the Meuse. I have been here since 1987. The house will lose its value. I was told that I might be entitled to compensation.” And to finish: “When it’s over, maybe it will be fine but, in the meantime, I don’t see anything anymore. It was much better when there was camping, even if there were some funny ones. at the end. It’s sad to see that.”
