Already very popular with bathers, the Vengeron will be redesigned, particularly in their favour, following the example of what was done at Eaux-Vives beach.

“The aim of the project is threefold: to create a professional port with lake businesses, a public park with a natural shoreline and the renaturation of the mouth of the Vengeron.” PS MP Grégoire Carrasso, majority rapporteur for the Works Committee, thus summarized Thursday evening the redevelopment of the Vengeron site for which the Grand Council was called upon to decide on a credit of 55.5 million francs. An appeal heard since the credit was accepted by 55 votes against 36.

There were certainly oppositions, but none on the project itself. Author of a minority report, the deputy of Ensemble à Gauche Rémy Pagani thus spoke of “points of friction”. He fears that companies will oppose their transfer in order to free up the site because they benefit from situational rents. Others, like the PLR ​​Serge Hiltpold, even mention privileges granted to some of them.
