Geneva, Switzerland (Tribune de Geneve, Fre) – The city of Geneva is opposing the renovation of the city’s Cornavin railway station because, reports the Tribune, the CFF railway company is fighting a development project behind the station.

The city has plans for two apartment buildings and a semi-underground bicycle parking lot as well as an apartment/hotel directly behind the train station but the CFF would like to reserve the area for expansion linked to the Ceva and RER urban rail development projects. The city’s plans go back a dozen years, but the CFF’s opposition is recent, creating new tensions, according to the Tribune.
