Assumptions about the effects of CEVA

1. REGIONAL LEVEL

• A Connection between Switzerland and France will be

created

• The CEVA line will be an impulse for economic

development

• A solution for commuter traffic will be introduced

2. LOCAL LEVEL (Carouge/LaPraille, Annemasse, Ambilly and Mon Idee)

• The value and accessibility of the sites will grow

Development Principle

Development from inside to outside Development from outside to inside (firstly empty)

Population Carouge: 10.000

Motivation:

• High density around

accessible activity center, regenerate urban activity

• Priority: High

Theme for Green Field: Reserve for future shrinking

Motivation:

• Not within action radius of

railway station

• Far from urban activities
• Greenfield with limited

access

• Development not desirable,

but if pressure for more housing rises – concept

• Priority: Low

Time Frame

2004: Negotiations with commune 2005 : Tramline in La Praille completed Prepare sites for new higher density develop 2015: High density activities established around La Praille annd Annemasse 2025: Development pressure leads to development of Ambilly and Mon Idée CEVA can start at any point

Conclusions

• 1. The development of these concepts do not rely entirely on

the start/timing of the CEVA line, however, it could contribute to even more vibrant and active centers around La Praille and Annemasse stations.

• 2. The development of the Greenfields is not a high priority in

the short to medium term, however, if pressure for more housing rises in the long term, the proposed concept will be implemented.

• 3. The various and overlapping Institutions and Stakeholders

might be a challenge that has to be addressed.
