Will the Metropolitan go to the Suburbs?

The Metropolitan Commission has just received an interesting communication presented to it by A. Bienvenüe, Inspector General, regarding the connection to the metropolitan network of the Auteuil-Saint-Lazare, Sceaux-Luxembourg, Vincennes-Bastille and Petite Ceinture railway lines. .
This project is still in the early stages and the technical data will not be determined until the start of the school year in October. But, as of now, the commission is officially seized of it. On the other hand, she received a proposal from a certain number of advisors from the left bank who strongly support this concept at least with regard to the connection of the Sceaux-Luxembourg and Vincennes-Bastille lines.
For the latter, the project provides for the removal of the long viaduct. The line would become the extension of metropolitan line No. 8 to Porte-de-Pic-pus and users could thus be in communication with all the other lines in the network. The disappearance of the viaduct would provide the capital with a superb new route.
For the Sceaux-Luxemboung line, we would postpone its origin to Place Saint-Michel by the construction of the underground section which remains in a gap between Luxembourg station and Saint-Michel station of metropolitan line no. 4. Thanks to this extension, travelers would benefit from connections with the Métropolitain not only at Place Saint-Michel, but also at Place Denfert-Rochereau and Boulevard Saint-Germain.
These are the various concepts that have been studied and on which the Municipal Council will be called to deliberate in its end-of-year session. A sub-committee chaired by Mr. Emile Devaux, and whose rapporteur is Mr. Le Trocquer, was set up to monitor this work during the intersession.
