In Le Bouscat, near Bordeaux, residents are distressed by a newly constructed elevated pedestrian walkway, created in April 2023, which now runs through their properties. Frédéric, a long-time resident, describes the situation as "ubuesque," explaining that the walkway is several centimeters higher than his and his neighbor's land, effectively blocking their access from one side and raising safety concerns due to installed guardrails. Despite multiple inquiries to the Le Bouscat town hall and Bordeaux Métropole, residents have not received satisfactory explanations regarding the elevation, with officials asserting the walkway's legality and technical compliance. Bordeaux Métropole stated that residents retain access via Avenue de la Libération, but this is deemed insufficient by Frédéric, who questions the unclear reference points for future property work.
