News: No Arenberg in Paris-Roubaix?

Tranchée d'Arenberg

Update April 2012: I was a fan at the Paris-Roubaix
Update March 2012: News: Paris-Roubaix: Arenberg Trench Gets Approval
Update March 2012: Trouée d'Arenberg to be cleaned "as soon as possible" 
Update February 2012: Progress being made in ensuring historic Forest of Arenberg remains in Paris-Roubaix

"After inspections from Jean-François Pescheux and Thierry Gouvenou revealed the cobblestones have been heavily covered by moss and other plant growth making the passage unsafe for racing.... Hopes that the cleaning work on the pavé will be enough to keep it in use."Sounds like incentive for the locals to clean the cobbles or have the Tranchée d'Arenberg nixed from the route ...

This is the route (parcours) for the Paris Roubaix Challenge Cyclotourisme from San Quentin to Velodrome de Roubaix on April 1, 2012. (I know it is the same day as the Tour of Flanders). This is not the 2012 Paris-Roubaix parcours, the final route has yet to be announced, now we know why - moss.
