La Rade comprises four sectors with great potential, each emphasising their link with lake. On the left bank, a public esplanade along the water takes advantage of the difference in level between the road and the lake. The pedestrian walkway is protected from traffic noise by a wall of activity and services. The Mont-Blanc walkway will run around the U of the lake-front promenade, enabling expansion of the current CGN jetties. Below the Mont-Blanc quay, the lower quay will be demolished to make way for a floating public platform offering a range of leisure and relaxation options. A beach extending between the Pâquis baths and La Perle du Lac provides the solution to the lack of bathing areas on the right bank.
