Since the Morges-Lausanne-Yverdon rail link was commissioned in 1856, the municipal authorities of western Lausanne and the Swiss Federal Railways have been grappling with the problem of crossing the tracks at Renens station. The new Rayon Vert footbridge now provides a most elegant solution. Opened to the public in May 2021, it is the culmination of an exemplary collaboration between four municipalities, the Canton, and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). It also represents fruitful work between architects, engineers, and landscapers.
Punctuated by generous public spaces to the north and south of Renens station, the Rayon Vert is a veritable artery of life and an essential link in the identity of western Lausanne. Through a play of scale, this issue of Cahiers de l'Ouest traces not only the development and construction of this soft mobility infrastructure but also the history of the birth of a major station: that of Renens, which will undoubtedly become the epicenter of a region in transformation.
