City of Pont-Rouge

Published purpose

Following these observations, the committee engaged a specialized firm to carry out a pre-feasibility study for a multifunctional corridor along a well-defined route. The route was chosen by the committee with the aim of serving most of the town’s districts and most age groups. Two residences for seniors and people with disabilities (about 200 people) will be served, along with the area around École du Perce-Neige. The school is one of the largest in Quebec, with over 900 students. The Town plans to upgrade its existing 2.5 km of multi-use trails and construct an additional 5.3 km. The results of the pre-feasibility study and the road safety committee’s analysis show that the development of a multifunctional corridor would contribute to user safety and be economically viable for the Town. The corridor would follow the route laid out by the committee and would be a combination of a designated roadway, a school corridor, sidewalks and a bike path. There will be vertical and horizontal signs all along the route to ensure user safety.
