All summerToulouse news you discover what your district should apply to, in a few years, after the establishment of the metro stations. 17e episode of the series: the station Montaudran Track of the Giants.
What you need to know about the Montaudran Piste des Géants station:
Initially called “Montaudran Gare”, then “Montaudran Piste des Géants”, this station will serve the northern part of the Toulouse Aerospace district, which is mainly made up of housing, shops, a sports park and the Piste des Géants.
She is without a doubt among the most anticipated of the 3e metro line, to irrigate this gigantic district in full demographic expansion, with its thousands of housing units built, its buildings sprouting up like mushrooms, and its new businesses whose activity is struggling to take off, as it is isolated and lack of public transport.
Located a stone’s throw from the Halle de la Machine, near the new central square of the district, the Montaudran railway stop, and near the ring road, this station will therefore be “at the heart of an economic and cultural district in full mutation observes Tisséo.
The metro becomes aerial again from here
Like line A (Balma-Gramont, Jolimont, Bagatelle and Basso Cambo sections), this is where the 3e line will come out of the ground to go back to aerial viaduct-tunnel to the terminus of Labège La Cadène. As for attendance, Tisséo is counting here on a maximum of 5,500 travelers per day, by 2030.
Before and after the arrival of the Montaudran Piste des Géants resort, here is what the neighborhood will look like:
The facilities planned at Montaudran Piste des Géants:
This new district of Montaudran, which does not have Linéo, is currently well underserved by public transport, apart from three bus lines: line 23 and line 80 in connection with the Rangueil metro and line 27 to Ramonville station.
The future air station will be “a multimodal hub”, according to Tisséo, since it will be linked to the railway station which will be reconfigured, in concert with the Toulouse Aerospace operation which provides for various urban developments. Tisséo also announces that it will have a drop-off/pick-up area, bicycle parking spaces (50 places with regulated access and 30 places on the square), as well as bus platforms.
