Published purpose

The project involves adding a complete sidewalk on the west side of Racette Road for approximately 1,250 metres and rebuilding the sidewalk on the east side of Racette Road for approximately 1,250 metres, for a total of 2,500 linear metres. The sidewalks will be 1.8 metres wide. The project will have a total surface area of 4,650 metres squared. In addition to a gain in terms of dimensions, safety and comfort will be improved, as the outdated state of the sidewalks makes it difficult for active transport to circulate, due to the numerous faults, sags, and holes. In addition, the addition of a brand-new sidewalk on one side of the road will further enhance safety and active travel. This work is part of a larger project to completely upgrade Route Racette by summer 2024.
