This project will create a multi-use pathway along a residential street as a safe corridor for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Lakeview Street is regularly used for pedestrian traffic by seniors, students and young families. Lakeview Street is the first street parallel to Hudson’s main street and is the shortest route between the Hudson’s three schools. Lakeview Street also leads to a municipal park that has soccer fields and the community pool. The street is heavily used by pedestrians, and there is growing concern about safety as there is a lot of vehicle traffic on the street as well. Selkirk Street is also included in the project, as the multi-use path would take pedestrian and bicycle traffic from Lakeview Street to the Village and to a safe crosswalk that leads to another municipal park. The project will involve the construction of a 1.2-km multi-use pathway and the installation of a new 1.2-km drainage system to remove 80% of the suspended solids before they enter the Ottawa River. Installation of traffic-calming measures to reduce speeds and promote safety in the residential area Encourage active student and family transportation to schools, city parks and their facilities. Reassure seniors that there are safe walking paths for them to get out and be more active. The Town of Hudson also supports Municipalités Amies des Aînés (MADA) Québec, and this project is intended to encourage seniors to use active transportation more often and safely.

The Verdun Borough aims to adopt best practices in support of active mobility. The borough has already had a Local Mobility Plan (LMP) since 2017. In recent years, however, the area has undergone a major metamorphosis, with urban redevelopment projects, large-scale real estate developments and even cycling projects. In this context, the LDP is already out of date and deserves to be revisited by a Sustainable Mobility Plan, which will integrate the important aspect of active mobility. Active mobility will be the focus of this project.

This plan will identify relevant interventions and ensure that they tie in with the development of the territory. After taking stock of the LDP and other policy documents, the process aims to update the portrait of the situation and issues, and identify courses of action. Priority will be given to areas such as the environment, education, encouraging active mobility, evaluation, planning and equity. The Sustainable Mobility Plan will thus benefit the entire Verdun population and visitors, as well as all local businesses and institutions. Its benefits will be felt in terms of public health, the local economy, the environment and social solidarity.

The SRB Pie-IX is a new bus rapid transit service that is comfortable, accessible and safe. It serves eastern Laval and crosses four Montreal boroughs, including Montreal North. It connects with the metro's green line and commuter trains, as well as with the future station of the metro's blue line extension.

Following the construction of the SRB, physical barriers were created, preventing people from crossing both sides of Pie-IX boulevard at certain intersections. In addition, there are issues of cohabitation between road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, etc.). There's a lack of road hierarchy, and this creates inconsistency in traffic directions. This situation makes active travel unsafe.

The project will carry out a mobility and traffic study to analyze the current situation and propose a safe layout that favors active transportation by redeveloping the area and adding street furniture.

The project of the City of Joliette involves studying the different options for the development of a bicycle bridge across the river in the Papineau Street area in order to initiate discussions on opening up the area, which appears essential to the development of an efficient and safe utilitarian cycling network. The blockage lies in the very centre of the urban agglomeration of Joliette and its neighbouring municipalities.

The project of the City of Joliette aims to study the various options for the development of a bicycle link and the improvement of pedestrian facilities that will allow for the adequate servicing of Firestone Boulevard, where Joliette's largest commercial area and largest private employer, a tire manufacturing plant employing nearly 2,000 people, are located.

Currently, there is no bicycle link along this major artery of the agglomeration's road network. The number of lanes, the speed and the traffic flow make this area unsafe for cyclists to use. In addition, the narrow sidewalk is adjacent to a traffic lane, making it uncomfortable to use at all times and impassable when snow accumulates, as machinery pushes snow onto the sidewalk when plowing the vehicular traffic lanes.

The rehabilitation of Firestone Boulevard is planned for the medium term and since this axis appears to be a priority in the Bicycle Network Master Plan and it is also desired to make it more green, it is important to begin planning the requalification of this roadway, which would integrate a bicycle link.
