Residents opposed to a controversial Lausanne building project formally deposited their petition at the city council yesterday
The plan calls for two seven-storey buildings in the Sévelin district, with no housing and little green space — a project the canton of Vaud has already banned from including residential units.
The collective behind the petition says it is not against development, but wants the zoning plan revised, better consultation with residents, and a clearer vision for the neighbourhood.
The mayor says the scheme will create jobs and support the area's economic future.
