In the Municipal Bulletin

The Porte de Montreuil appears in the municipal bulletin in 1923, when councillor Hémard, who says he has already called for it several times, asked for it to be widened, judging it "absolutely inadequate for traffic" — his proposal is referred to the Administration, with no work recorded as carried out. The place then does not come back until 1963, under two guises. On one side, a question to the Council describes the flea market held every Saturday and Sunday at the edge of Paris, between the Place de la Porte-de-Montreuil and the Rue Édouard-Vaillant in Bagnolet, and seeks to avoid the inconvenience it causes to neighbouring properties. On the other, in a debate on underpasses and interchanges at the gates of eastern Paris, a structure planned at the Porte de Montreuil already weighs on the plans: its proximity leads to abandoning a connection on the north side. Between these two moments, the archive stays silent on the gate itself — forty years separate the complaint about traffic from the road projects that take it up again.
