Roland Garros. A report now disqualifies the project … – Ouest-France

The project defended by the associations was however called “technically feasible” three months ago by a expert report published by the Department of Ecology.

But this new report, commissioned by the FFT at the request of the Ministry of Ecology and the City of Paris, in particular that “the negative impacts of this project remain significant (…) and that it does not respond to the major functional objectives of the FFT. “

” A relatively unbalanced Site “

The extension of the Roland Garros stadium to the A13 motorway and not in the garden of Serres d’Auteuil, as proposed by the FFT, would not solve the current shortcomings, particularly in terms of audience flow management “partly because of a relatively unbalanced site and lesser size, and conservation of an existing (court No. 1) forcing the development prospects” , said the document produced by the firm Egis and delivered to City of Paris on Monday by the FFT.

In addition, experts point out that the coverage of the A13 project has a carbon footprint twice as heavy as that of the FFT.

Finally, the project would require against over again “all administrative procedures already performed on the project supported by the FFT and would encounter in this process to very significant difficulties and could be the subject of litigation. “

This new report had been called to the FFT by the City of Paris and the Minister of Ecology, Segolene Royal after the publication in February of a report of the General Council of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CGEDD) concluding the feasibility of the alternative project.
