Construction of a Multifunctional Corridor in Central Pont-Rouge, Quebec
FY 2025-26 · 2025-09-09
Summary
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.

Description (French)
À la suite de ces observations, le Comité a confié à une firme spécialisée le mandat de réaliser une étude de préfaisabilité pour un corridor multifonctionnel sur un parcours bien défini. Le parcours a été choisi par le comité dans le but de desservir la majorité des quartiers de la ville ainsi que la majorité des strates d’âges de citoyen. En effet, deux résidences pour personnes âgées et handicapées seront desservies, ce qui représente plus de 200 citoyens, en plus du secteur de l'école du Perce-Neige. Celle-ci compte plus de 900 élèves, soit l’une des plus grosses du Québec. La Ville compte améliorer ses 2.5km de sentiers multifonctionnels déjà en place en plus d'en aménager 5.3km de plus. Les résultats de l’étude de préfaisabilité ainsi que l’analyse du Comité de Sécurité Routière montrent que l’aménagement d’un corridor multifonctionnel serait une option bénéfique pour la sécurité des usagers et économiquement viable pour la ville. Ce corridor suivrait le parcours défini par le Comité et serait une combinaison d’une chaussée désignée, d’un corridor scolaire, de trottoirs et de piste cyclable. Tout le long du parcours, une signalisation v.erticale et horizontale assurera la sécurité des usagers
