Summary
The Town of Pictou wishes to create a safe walking route between a residential area and a popular community general store. There is currently no sidewalk access from the residential areas to a popular convenience/grocery store located directly across from the intersection; crosswalks are inconveniently and unsafely positioned.
The project includes:
• a traffic study of the area
• creation of engineering plans for the construction
• realignment of the union street intersection
• creation of sidewalks
• a new crosswalk with RRFB lighting
• creation of a green space with seating
• Anticipated length of new asphalt would be 25 m (175 square metres)
• Anticipated length of new sidewalk would be 22 m (33.5 square metres)
• 520 square metres of new green space would be created

Description (French)
La Ville de Pictou souhaite créer un parcours pédestre sécuritaire entre un quartier résidentiel et un magasin général populaire de la collectivité. À l’heure actuelle, il n’y a pas de trottoir pour accéder des zones résidentielles à un dépanneur/épicerie populaire situé directement en face de l’intersection; les passages pour piétons sont placés de façon peu pratique et peu sûre.
Le projet comprend :
- une étude de la circulation dans la zone
- la création de plans techniques pour la construction
- le réalignement de l’intersection de la rue Union
- la création de trottoirs
- la création d’un nouveau passage pour piétons équipé de FRCR
- la création d’un espace vert avec des sièges.
- La longueur prévue du nouvel asphalte serait de 25 m (175 m²).
- La longueur prévue du nouveau trottoir serait de 22 m (33,5 m²).
- 520 mètres carrés de nouvel espace vert seraient créés.
