Feasibility study on active mobility around the Pays-d’en-Haut sports centre

FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-04

Summary
The feasibility study is the next step following a major environmental scan conducted around the sports centre in 2019. The sports centre is scheduled to open in the summer of 2022; it is nearing completion. It will provide the 47,105 residents of Pays-d’en-Haut MRC with high-quality sports facilities (arena, pool, badminton court, volleyball court, soccer field, etc.). We would like people to use active transportation to get to the sports centre: walking or biking to the centre via a safe route seems entirely consistent with its planned uses. Currently, the road to the centre is not considered active transportation-friendly, and most people get to the centre by vehicle on the provincial highway. The feasibility study will provide a detailed exploration of solutions that take into account the road and terrain constraints in the area. In addition, the feasibility study is a tool for making the configuration and materials decisions required to estimate our project’s costs. The study will culminate in the selection of a solution leading to a capital project, to be undertaken at the same time as the reconfiguration of the Highway 117/Highway 15 interchange by the MTQ. Note that the Town of Sainte-Adèle is currently planning to build a sidewalk to École secondaire A-N Morin, but it will not connect to the sports centre. For all these reasons, the MRC wants to engage the services of a firm to plan the connection from the sports centre to the P’tit Train du Nord trail (234 km from Green Route 2), an active mobility link connecting two major sports infrastructures.

Description (French)
L’étude de faisabilité est l’étape subséquente d’une importante analyse du milieu autour du Centre sportif réalisée en 2019. L’ouverture du centre sportif étant prévue à l’été 2022, sa construction est sur le point de s’achever et de permettre aux 47 105 citoyens de la MRC des Pays-d’en-Haut de profiter d’installations sportives de hauts standards (Aréna, Piscine, terrains sportifs (badminton, volleyball), Soccer, etc). Nous souhaitons voir des gens transiter vers ce lieu en adoptant un mode de vie actif : intégrer la marche ou le vélo via une voie sécuritaire semble tout à fait en règle avec les usages prévus au centre sportif. Actuellement, la route qui s’y rend n'est pas jugé convivial pour les transports actifs et ce sont majoritairement des véhicules qui emprunte la route provinciale pour transiter vers ce lieu. L’étude de faisabilité permettra une mise en lumière exhaustive des solutions adaptées aux contraintes routières et terrain dans ce secteur. De plus, l’étude de faisabilité est un outil de prise de décision en terme de configuration et de matériaux pour estimer les coûts relatifs à notre projet. Le résultat de l’étude permettra la sélection d’une solution menant vers un projet d’immobilisation, à venir en même temps que la reconfiguration de l’échangeur route 117/autoroute 15 par le MTQ. À noter que la ville de Sainte-Adèle projette actuellement la mise en place d’un trottoir jusqu’à l’école secondaire A-N Morin, mais que ce dernier ne liera pas le centre sportif. Pour toutes ces raisons, la MRC souhaite embauche les services d’une firme qui planifiera cette étape de connexion, et ce du centre sportif jusqu’à la piste du P’tit Train du Nord (234 km de la Route Verte 2) : un lien de mobilité active reliant 2 infrastructures sportives d’envergure.
