Answers to the most frequently asked questions for Floriane Bonnier.
Security
- How does Floriane Bonnier work for security in Brussels?
- Floriane Bonnier advocates a balanced approach: strengthening local police, firm action against incivilities, visible presence on the ground, and close cooperation with the Brussels-Capital Ixelles police zone. She regularly questions the College on sensitive areas of the City of Brussels.
- What concrete measures are being taken against incivilities in the City of Brussels?
- Effectively applied municipal administrative sanctions (SAC), an increase in the number of enforcement officers, targeted video surveillance in hotspots, and street mediation. The objective: zero tolerance for behaviors that degrade the daily lives of residents.
- What is the City of Brussels doing against drug trafficking?
- Floriane Bonnier advocates for enhanced coordination between local police, public prosecutor's office, and social services, systematic dismantling of drug dealing points, and support for users towards care structures. Repression alone is not enough: it must be accompanied by prevention.
- How can security be improved around Brussels schools?
- Increased police presence at school entry and exit times, traffic calming road layouts (30 km/h zones, speed bumps, chicanes), and permanent school streets where possible. The safety of children is an absolute priority for the MR+ group.
- Is video surveillance effective in Brussels?
- Used in a targeted and proportionate manner, video surveillance is a useful complementary tool: it deters, helps solve investigations, and reassures residents. It never replaces human presence but reinforces it.
Cleanliness
- What does Floriane Bonnier propose to improve cleanliness in Brussels?
- An ambitious cleanliness plan: more frequent collections, reinforced cleaning of black spots, deterrent fines for illegal dumping, awareness campaigns, and accountability for private actors (HORECA, businesses).
- How to combat illegal dumping in the City of Brussels?
- Systematic verbalization via enforcement officers, mobile cameras on black spots, rapid removal of waste, and facilitated citizen reporting via the Fix My Street application. The City must respond quickly to prevent incivilities from taking hold.
- How to report a cleanliness problem in Brussels?
- Via the Fix My Street application, by phone to the City of Brussels Cleanliness department, or by writing to Floriane Bonnier via the contact form on the website. Each report is forwarded to the relevant services.
- Who is responsible for public cleanliness in Brussels?
- Competence is shared between the Region (Brussels-Cleanliness for collections) and the 19 municipalities (street cleaning). Floriane Bonnier advocates for better coordination between the two levels and more transparent governance for residents.
- How to raise awareness about waste sorting in Brussels?
- Local campaigns, cleanliness ambassadors in neighborhoods, multilingual information, and support for new residents. Sorting must be simple, accessible, and rewarded, not endured.
Mobility
- What vision of mobility does Floriane Bonnier defend?
- A balanced mobility that does not pit modes of transport against each other: efficient public transport, safe cycling, peaceful walking, but also the car, which is essential for many households, artisans, shopkeepers, and people with reduced mobility. Refuse dogma, choose pragmatism.
- What does Floriane Bonnier think of the Good Move plan?
- The principle of calming traffic in neighborhoods is legitimate, but its implementation must be coordinated with residents and shopkeepers. The impacts on diverted traffic, local businesses, and vulnerable people must be assessed and corrected.
- How to improve public transport in Brussels?
- Increased frequencies, extended operating hours, better STIB-SNCB-De Lijn-TEC integration, and enhanced security in stations and vehicles. An efficient network is the primary condition for sustainable mobility.
- What role for cars in Brussels?
- The car remains essential for many families, workers, shopkeepers, and elderly people. It must have its place, with clear rules, accessible parking, and fluid main axes. All-cycling is not the solution.
- How to make cycling safer in Brussels?
- Continuous and physically separated cycle paths on major axes, secure parking (bike boxes), fight against theft, and training from school age. Cyclist safety requires quality infrastructure, not symbolic markings.
- What is the City of Brussels doing for walking?
- Wider and well-maintained sidewalks, enhanced lighting, safe crossings, and the fight against illegal parking on sidewalks. Walking is the primary mode of transport in Brussels: it deserves an ambitious policy.
Parking
- How to improve parking in Brussels?
- Create more regulated spaces, develop park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts, modernize pricing (smart mobility), and ensure accessible parking for residents, shopkeepers, and deliveries.
- Do residents have priority for parking in Brussels?
- Resident permits exist, but the supply remains insufficient in some neighborhoods. Floriane Bonnier advocates for a better match between the number of permits issued and available spaces, and for shared solutions with underused private car parks.
- How to help shopkeepers facing parking difficulties?
- Respected and controlled delivery zones, short-term parking spaces in front of shops, adapted rates for customers, and continuous consultation with merchant associations. Without parking, there is no local commerce.
Public spaces
- How to make Brussels' public spaces more pleasant?
- Greening, quality urban furniture, friendly lighting, regular maintenance, and cultural events. A beautiful public space brings people together, soothes, and enlivens neighborhoods.
- What is Floriane Bonnier doing for parks and green spaces?
- She advocates for reinforced maintenance, guaranteed safety after dark, and the development of new local green spaces. Parks are the city's lungs and an essential place for social diversity.
- How to combat vandalism and graffiti in Brussels?
- Rapid removal (ideally within 48 hours), sanctions for identified perpetrators, legal expression walls to channel urban artists, and partnerships with private owners for shared maintenance.
Commerce
- How does Floriane Bonnier support Brussels' shopkeepers?
- One-stop shop for shopkeepers, administrative simplification, fight against empty premises, grants for storefront renovation, enhanced security, and continuous consultation with associations. Local commerce is the beating heart of our neighborhoods.
- What is the City of Brussels doing about empty commercial premises?
- Mapping of empty premises, connecting owners with project developers, installation grants, tax on abandoned buildings, and commercial activities to revitalize streets. Action must be taken before vacancy becomes structural.
- What policy for HORECA in Brussels?
- Simplified and secure terraces, fight against unfair competition, employment support, and consultation on nuisances. The HORECA sector makes Brussels vibrant: it deserves a stable framework and a responsive administration.
Entrepreneurship
- How to help self-employed and very small businesses set up in Brussels?
- Personalized support via hub.brussels and 1819, regional grants, provision of test spaces, and simplification of administrative procedures. Entrepreneurship in Brussels should be an obvious choice, not an obstacle course.
Employment
- How to promote youth employment in Brussels?
- Strengthening apprenticeships, school-business partnerships, support for local missions, valuing in-demand professions, and fighting against discrimination in hiring. Every young Brussels resident deserves a real chance to enter active life.
Digital
- How does Floriane Bonnier position Brussels on artificial intelligence?
- A city that adopts AI ethically and usefully: more efficient public services (Fix My Street, counters), support for the local ecosystem (startups, universities), and continuous training for agents and citizens. Brussels must be the European capital of trustworthy AI.
- How to simplify administrative procedures in Brussels?
- Single digital counter, dematerialization of the most used forms, generalized itsme and eID, and imperative maintenance of physical reception for unconnected individuals. Digital must include, not exclude.
- What is the City doing about the digital divide?
- Public digital spaces (EPN), free training for seniors and vulnerable publics, equipment lending in libraries, and individual support in administrations. No one should be left behind by the digital transition.
