In Geneva, the referendum committee No to the Localized Neighborhood Plan (PLQ) Acacias 1 denounced Thursday a project promoting “hyperdense urban planning on state land and for the benefit of developers”. He urges the inhabitants of the City to slip a no into the ballot box during the municipal vote of June 18, “so that the over-densification of the districts stops”.
The PLQ Acacias 1 includes too many commercial activities with high rents to the detriment of the quality of life, notes the referendum committee in its press release. We must meet the real needs of the population, with fewer offices and towers, he continues, noting that the project includes at least as many jobs (2290) as housing (2230).
According to the referendaries, the project also promotes an urban planning of inequalities: five large towers are intended for high incomes, with view, sun, calm; the other accommodations are in closed courtyards, dark and noisy, becoming heat islands in summer. The school is wedged between the buildings, its courtyard is too small. Nothing is planned for sport and culture.
The committee also denounces the absence of a neighborhood park and measures to respond to global warming. “The land belonging to the State, the latter might have been exemplary on the social and climatic level”, declared to Keystone-ATS the municipal councilor of Ensemble à Gauche Brigitte Studer, member of the referendum committee.
Composed of associations of residents and neighbors, trade unions and political parties, the committee had attacked the project by referendum. At the end of November 2022, he had collected some 5,000 signatures while 3,200 initials were needed.
Located in the vast urbanization perimeter of Praille-Acacias-Vernets (PAV), the PLQ is delimited to the southeast by the route des Acacias, to the west by the route des Jeunes, to the east by rue François -Dussaud and to the north by Viguet, Eugène-Marziano and Adrien-Wyss streets. It is defended by the cantonal and communal authorities who reworked it following criticism.
