Description:
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.
