Active mobility planning as part of a sustainable mobility plan for the Verdun Borough

FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-06

Summary
The Verdun Borough aims to adopt best practices in support of active mobility. The borough has already had a Local Mobility Plan (LMP) since 2017. In recent years, however, the area has undergone a major metamorphosis, with urban redevelopment projects, large-scale real estate developments and even cycling projects. In this context, the LDP is already out of date and deserves to be revisited by a Sustainable Mobility Plan, which will integrate the important aspect of active mobility. Active mobility will be the focus of this project. This plan will identify relevant interventions and ensure that they tie in with the development of the territory. After taking stock of the LDP and other policy documents, the process aims to update the portrait of the situation and issues, and identify courses of action. Priority will be given to areas such as the environment, education, encouraging active mobility, evaluation, planning and equity. The Sustainable Mobility Plan will thus benefit the entire Verdun population and visitors, as well as all local businesses and institutions. Its benefits will be felt in terms of public health, the local economy, the environment and social solidarity.

Description (French)
L’Arrondissement de Verdun vise à adopter des pratiques exemplaires en soutien à la mobilité active. L'arrondissement dispose déjà d'un Plan local de déplacement (PLD) depuis 2017. Or, ces dernières années ont vu le territoire se métamorphoser grandement par des projets de redéveloppement urbain, des projets de développement immobilier de grande ampleur ou encore par des projets cyclables. Dans ce contexte, le PLD n'est déjà plus à jour et mérite d'être revisité par un Plan de mobilité durable, lequel intégrera le volet important de la mobilité active. Le volet de la mobilité active fera l’objet du projet. Ce plan verra à identifier les interventions pertinentes et à assurer un arrimage avec le développement du territoire. Après avoir tracé un bilan du PLD et d'autres documents d'orientation, la démarche vise à actualiser le portrait de la situation et des enjeux, ainsi qu'à dégager des pistes d'action. Des axes d'intervention seront priorisés, par exemple : l'environnement, l'éducation, l'encouragement à la mobilité active, l'évaluation, la planification, puis l'équité. Le Plan de mobilité durable profitera ainsi à l'ensemble de la population verdunoise, aux visiteurs, mais également à l'ensemble des commerçants et institutions du territoire. Ses bénéfices se feront sentir en matière de santé publique, d'économie locale, d'environnement et de solidarité sociale.
