Saint-Nazaire d’Acton, Parish municipality of

Published purpose

The Municipality wants to hire an consultant firm to prepare a document for the MTQ to demonstrate the need to build a sidewalk for the safety of residents and to encourage them to use their cars less and reduce greenhouse gases. The Municipality has to submit the application, since the land where the sidewalk would have to be built belongs to the MTQ. The MTQ has been asked a number of times to improve safety for residents, especially children, in that area. One of those requests was for a crosswalk and expansion of the village’s speed reduction area. The requests were all denied. In addition, survey work is required for the construction of a new sidewalk. We want to include that work in our application. It is understood that if the application is properly submitted to the MTQ and is accepted, the Municipality will cover the construction costs. We have already submitted a Priority 1 application for the capital component. This planning project is a Priority 2 application.
