What you need to know about Toulouse-Lautrec station:
Probably more than elsewhere on the route of the 3e line, everything has to be created at Toulouse-Lautrec, a place on paper not predestined to see the subway disembark. This future station is located on the site of an ordinary intersection road, called to change appearance, at the crossroads between Barrière-de-Paris, Borderouge, La Maourine and Les Minimes. A few hectometres away is Toulouse-Lautrec middle school and other facilities, including sports (the eponymous swimming pool). To the north, we head towards Borderouge. To the south, access is direct on Boulevard Pierre et Marie Curie which brings vehicle flows back to the Canal du Midi or Barrière de Paris.
In this sector cut by the railway line which is close to Matabiau, few connections currently exist, and the idea of the community is to create here, at the intersection several districts, a new center to facilitate travel.
Before and after the arrival of Toulouse-Lautrec station, here is what the neighborhood will look like:
The facilities planned at Toulouse-Lautrec:
Tisséo wants to design this station with the idea of facilitating access “to current public facilities and to”. In his project, a forecourt will accompany the creation of the station and will offer pedestrians of the pathways comfortable towards the secure crossings as well as towards the entrance to the school”. The project also proposes to “develop cycling continuity on the rue de Négreneys”.
The station will integrate a bus station and parking lots bike (50 places with regulated access and 30 places on the forecourt). As for the public spaces around the station, they “are the subject of studies”, simply advances Tisséo.
