Your votes! Since Monday, June 3, Toulouse residents can discover the beautiful selection of “My ideas for my neighborhood” and therefore vote for their favorite projects, those that they themselves proposed last October. We explain this participatory and fun initiative launched, for the second time, by the Toulouse town hall.
183 ideas selected from the 1,360 proposed
After a successful first season, Toulouse town hall launched its second edition of “My ideas for my neighborhood”. A concept that allows Toulouse residents to initially propose ideas with the aim of improving their daily lives and their neighborhood life. "At stake, 8 million euros to improve the living environment and implement ecological actions as close as possible to residents.", announces the town hall, which then asked: "What ideas do you have for your neighborhood? ".
In October 2023, following the question, 1,360 ideas were proposed, 70% of which were ecological in scope; and in the end, after having been analyzed by the competent services, 183 of them are finally submitted to the vote of the Toulouse population.
How to choose your favorite projects?
"All Toulouse residents can vote, without limitation of age or nationality, preferably for project ideas located in their neighborhood."< /p>
Since Monday, June 3, Toulouse Town Hall has moved to the final stage of this second edition: the citizens' vote. To participate, nothing could be simpler, just go to the participatory platform jeparticipe.metropole.
For ease of use, the participant can then select the neighborhoods of the Pink City or the themes that interest it, whether it is the living environment, adaptation to climate change, energy and buildings or even eco-mobility and transport. In total, 10 pages of useful projects - ranging from a few euros to more than 250,000 euros - are made available to Toulouse residents until June 30, 2024. p>

The limits of the project "My ideas for my neighborhood "
Note that it is possible to vote for 3 projects (only) and in order to guarantee at least 2 winning projects among the best ranked in the votes and within the limit of the total budget (8 million euros), the calculation methods are as follows, as specified on the official website:
- The most voted projects will be winners within the limit of 400 000 euros maximum per district;
- If an idea exceeds this threshold of 400,000 euros per district then we do not take it and we move on to the next one, so on.
In July 2024 , after the designation of the winners, the community will commit to carrying out the projects within 2 years by deliberation in the municipal council. On the other hand, it is also indicated that "the community reserves the right right to cancel the implementation of a project due to constraints which would prevent its implementation".
Within a few years, if the chosen projects are carried out and thanks to the participation and ideas of residents, Toulouse could thus have more cycle paths, security in strategic locations, bird nesting boxes , parks and vegetation for children or even mosquito traps…
