The meeting was long awaited by the inhabitants of rue Philibert-Hoffmann and rue Jean-Mermoz, in Rosny-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), threatened with expropriation with the creation of the future line 15 East of Grand Paris. Express.
In July 2020, 25 households were amazed to discover by mail that the Société du Grand Paris (SGP) - the public establishment responsible for the design of the future metro - wanted to "enter into amicable negotiations" with them to acquire their pavilions.
The SGP plans to design under their plots a feeder structure aimed at connecting line 15 East, which is due to open in 2030, to its future technical operation center which will be built in Rosny-sous-Bois.
With the line of sight, if no amicable agreement is found between the establishment and the owners: the expropriation of the pavilions.

"Thanks to this meeting, we were finally able to get answers to our questions," blows Jean-François Boullet, one of the residents, who had launched a petition to oppose the expropriations.
We were able to tell them that there had been a total lack of transparency and communication on this project.
"
Originally, the opening book was to be located at the elementary school Félix-Eboué.
A solution that required demolishing a building in the establishment, the dilapidation of which had also been denounced by the parents of the neighborhood students.
But after carrying out additional studies, the SGP finally reduced the size of the structure and chose to place it below the pavilions to limit the “urban impact” of the site.
Six chords found
The first location "exposed several hundred residents to nuisance," the public establishment recalls this Saturday.
The experience feedback from projects of this type has shown to what extent they are penalizing for local residents and generate complex situations which can result in certain cases by acts of physical violence.
"
"We were told this morning that it would cause less nuisance, because the area is less dense than at school level," says Jean-François Boullet.
To believe, that they did not see the eleven-story buildings facing our houses!
The local resident, however, still has hopes of a second turnaround.
A modifying public inquiry taking into account the new location of the infill structure must be carried out in the spring, because it did not appear in the last public inquiry.
Which also raises the question: how then to declare the new project of public utility?
"The earthen pot against the iron pot"
“We will be able to include our criticisms there.
But we will only be able to win our case if the town hall fully supports us, ”Judge Jean-François Boullet.
The owner nevertheless notes that the SGP was clear during the meeting: "She told us that she would not go back on her decision ..." "I will campaign for an alternative solution", promises Jean-Paul Fauconnet for his part, the new mayor (LR) of Rosny-sous-Bois, who accuses his predecessor of having deliberately encouraged the SGP not to alert residents to his new choice before the municipal elections of 2020 to avoid any controversy.
What the ex-aedile Claude Capillon (LR) denies.

“Unfortunately, we know that this file is the pot of earth against the iron pot.
It is the State which will have the last word, whatever I say about it ”, adds Jean-François Boullet.
For its part, SGP details that to date, six owners have reached an agreement with it and that two sales have already been signed.
It gives itself two more years to reach “amicable” agreements with the rest of the residents.
Any expropriation procedures will therefore not take place before.
