flagship programme Fabienne Keller,

This is one of the proposals flagship programme Fabienne Keller, mayor outgoing (UMP) in Strasbourg, new candidate: create a public transport network on the water. Dubbed "Illeo", this fleet, such as vaporettos of Venice, serving a series of piers. Stars power, the price of a ticket streetcar, would rotate every twenty or thirty minutes on the Ill river, a tributary of the Rhine crossing Strasbourg, the gap Faux-Remparts and the network port basins.


At the last council urban community, in early February, has been voted a financial contribution of 100,000 euros to co-finance a preliminary design on Illeo. She was assigned to the Autonomous Port of Strasbourg. He already manages eight tourist boats. They receive approximately 800000 tourists annually on the Ill and canals Strasbourg, including passing the locks and the bridge turn of the neighborhood of Petite France.

RESERVES THE PS


These vessels omnibus became a major topic of discussion in the city and on blogs. The other candidates for mayor have beautiful game to stress that the idea was already in the program of Mrs. Keller in 2001, and that in seven years, it has been slow. A simple feasibility study has imagined possible routes. A brief experiment was conducted in April 2007 among the Parc de l'Etoile (the district's administrative centre) and the European quarter, on the occasion of "Scenes of the environment" organized by the Urban Community of Strasbourg.

This project is also in the program Chantal Cutajar (MoDem), as the "bus-boats." Yann Wehrling, his No. 2, former national secretary of the Greens, imagine a network even larger. However, the candidate Roland Ries (Socialist Party) has expressed its reservations. There hardly believe for transport daily, and focuses, in the chapter of its program on "Transport soft" on the extension of the tramway network, carpooling, car-sharing and cycling. This is also the case of the Greens, led by Alain Jund, which advocate extending branches of the tramway network, night buses and a bus line "big belt" interquartiers in Strasbourg.
