The New banks of Maine project will also be durable in the city political life

Angers town hall starts a new stage in the preliminary studies regarding the "New banks" project. That scheme, consisting in the re-development of the Maine sides when it crosses the city, aims at "a reunification of the two banks, the creation of a link between Angers inhabitants and the river, and its transformation as a symbol of the quality of life in Angers, that one recently praised by the Express magazine", indicates the city website. The "New banks" project will be discussed by all next district meetings throughout the city in the month to come. 

The city has just renewed by half the group of Angers inhabitants in charge of following the project. But its mission looks vague. That group (90 persons) is entrusted to the writing, next year, of a guide which will give "a tangible translation of the main directions of the project as it was imagined, step by step, by the Grether and Phytolab teams". But, at the same time, "Everybody, companies, partners, riverside residents, Angers inhabitants, university, hospital, could acquaint themselves with the project". So, between the 90 persons group, the architects and "everybody", who is in charge of what?

Visibly, that one will play an important part in the federation of public support in the months to come till the municipal polls of 2014. The "New banks" project, which got the interest of Angers inhabitants during the exhibition of the architectural models, not only will reshape the core of the city, but will also be at the center of its political life for a long time.
