Résumé
The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.
Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.
The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.
Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).

Description (French)
Le projet de corridor de transport actif de l’avenue Canada fournira plus de 835 m d’installations linéaires de transport actif sous la forme de nouveaux trottoirs accessibles et d’un sentier polyvalent à surface lisse. En plus de ces éléments linéaires, le projet prévoit une amélioration de la sécurité routière et une modération de la circulation. Le sentier aura une largeur minimale de 3 m, tandis que les nouveaux trottoirs auront une largeur minimale de 1,8 m, soit l’espace nécessaire pour que deux personnes utilisant des appareils de mobilité puissent se croiser en toute sécurité.
Des éclairages dédiés aux sentiers et un câblage approprié ont également été intégrés dans cette conception afin de soutenir d’autres populations vulnérables. Cet éclairage améliorera les conditions de sécurité personnelle et routière pour tous les usagers qui dépendent du transport actif pour se déplacer - quelles que soient les conditions météorologiques ou l’heure. Des boulevards sont également prévus dans la mesure du possible afin d’accroître la séparation entre les usagers du transport actif et la circulation automobile, améliorant ainsi les conditions pour les usagers plus vulnérables et renforçant les réseaux émergents pour tous les âges et toutes les capacités des deux municipalités.
La conception du corridor intègre des clignotants pour piétons le long de deux trottoirs surélevés en béton qui amélioreront la visibilité des usagers du transport actif, tout en agissant comme un ralentisseur de la circulation lorsque les usagers du transport actif ne sont pas présents. Ces passages amélioreront également l’intégration du transport en commun en fournissant des connexions directes aux arrêts de transport en commun et en offrant des zones d’attente accessibles.
La modération de la circulation améliorera également la sécurité générale de tous les usagers de la route. Les mesures de modération de la circulation le long du corridor comprendront des terre-pleins centraux (d’une longueur de 1 à 3 mètres en fonction du droit de passage disponible, qui pourra comprendre des zones de refuge pour les piétons), le renflement du trottoir, et des passages piétons surélevés (qui pourront également fonctionner comme des dos d’âne).
