"The project involves assessing the lowest-impact route for the extension of the Promenade Rivia walking/cycling path along the Saint-François River in Drummondville between Voltigeurs Park and the Saint-Joachim district. Description of the concept: • The path will integrate as harmoniously as possible with the surroundings, while making the most of the proximity of the river • The path will be multifunctional and suited to all types of users • The surface will be paved to a width of 3.0 m, with wood on the footbridges • For safety and comfort, street crossings will be minimized, and the route will be physically “protected” when it is located along a roadway The route will be on the east bank of the Saint-François River between downtown Drummondville and the Saint-Joachim-de-Courval district. There will be three main sections: 1. Promenade Rivia between the Traverse Bridge (University Boulevard) and the Highway 20 overpass, Phase 1 completed in 2018 2. Trail in Voltigeurs Park, the most recent phase, completed in the summer of 2021 3.
