Jean Castex will endorse, Friday, May 7, the construction of the controversial station of line 17 of the Grand Paris metro on the agricultural lands of the Triangle de Gonesse, among a battery of measures for the Val-d’Oise, announced Matignon Thursday. The Prime Minister “will confirm the service of the sector by line 17 and the station”, said his advisers, stressing that the government did not want “reopen the debate on the route” of the supermetro, despite the strong opposition from conservationists against a station “in the middle of the fields”.
Jean Castex will notably travel to Bonneuil-en-France, where the tunnel boring machine for this line which is to link Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) to Mesnil-Amelot (Seine-et-Marne) started via nine stations. That of the Triangle de Gonesse will be the only one in Val-d’Oise.
Since Emmanuel Macron’s announcement in November 2019 of the abandonment of the Europacity mega-commercial and leisure complex project, the future of 280 hectares of agricultural land out of the 700 or so that make up the Triangle de Gonesse has become a point of tension between local elected officials and environmental activists, who held an ephemeral ZAD (“Zone to defend”) last February. Matignon specified that the station will be accompanied by other projects responding to “a theme around food, local production”. They will be established on the 110 hectares of a ZAC located to the south of this triangular enclave, bordered by the A1 motorway and flown over by airplanes from Le Bourget and Roissy.
