The Rue Garibaldi is a wide and long street in Lyon, located in the 7th, 3rd and 6th arrondissements, and named after Italian politician Giuseppe Garibaldi. There was also a square named Place Garibaldi in reference to his nephews, died during the World War I. [1]
The street was formerly called rue Sainte-Élisabeth in reference to the sister of Louis XVI, Élisabeth of France. [2] [3] It was named rue Garibaldi after the deliberation of the municipal council on 1 March 1871, then was renamed rue Sainte-Élisabeth, and renamed rue Garibaldi on 6 July 1882. [4] It was built gradually throughout the 19th century from the Cours Vitton. In 1913, the rue Rave became part of the street. [4] However, the extreme urbanization of the street causes a large number of nuisance to inhabitants of buildings, including noise, pollution, dangerous traffic. The street was the subject of several renovations from 1975.
Currently, the city of Lyon is rehabilitating the street. This project would include the reduction in the number of lanes, especially in the 3rd arrondissement and the creation of terraces and tree-lined sidewalks. In addition, with the construction of the Tour Incity in 2012 which will have its main entrance on the rue Garibaldi, it will again undergo rehabilitation. [5] This project will cost about 5 million euro. [6] [7]

This is one of the longest streets in the city, as well as the rue de Créqui, the rue Duguesclin or the Avenue Jean Jaurès with 3,850 meters. It looks like a highway, sometimes composed of 5 lines. In most of the 3rd arrondissement, the street is almost impassable by pedestrians, who must then borrow an underpass to cross.
