The City of Geneva has formally come out against plans to widen the A1 autoroute to six lanes.

The final decision on the multi-billion-franc project will be made by voters in November.
Other organisations say it will be far more effective, and sustainable, to spend the money on public transport including a new train line running from Lausanne to Geneva.
