Active mobility study of the Borough of Montreal-Nord
EF 2024-25 · 2024-06-06
Résumé
The SRB Pie-IX is a new bus rapid transit service that is comfortable, accessible and safe. It serves eastern Laval and crosses four Montreal boroughs, including Montreal North. It connects with the metro's green line and commuter trains, as well as with the future station of the metro's blue line extension.
Following the construction of the SRB, physical barriers were created, preventing people from crossing both sides of Pie-IX boulevard at certain intersections. In addition, there are issues of cohabitation between road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, etc.). There's a lack of road hierarchy, and this creates inconsistency in traffic directions. This situation makes active travel unsafe.
The project will carry out a mobility and traffic study to analyze the current situation and propose a safe layout that favors active transportation by redeveloping the area and adding street furniture.

Description (French)
Le SRB Pie-IX est un nouveau service rapide par bus confortable, accessible et sécuritaire. Il dessert l’est de Laval et traverse quatre arrondissements à Montréal, dont l’arrondissement de Montréal-Nord. Il permet de correspondre avec la ligne verte du métro et le train de banlieue ainsi qu’avec la future station du prolongement de la ligne bleue du métro.
Suite à l’aménagement du SRB, des barrières physiques ont été créées, empêchant de traverser de part et d’autre le boulevard Pie-IX à certaines intersections. De plus, il existe des enjeux de cohabitation des usagers de la route (piétons, cyclistes, automobilistes, etc.). Il y a une absence de hiérarchie routière et cela crée une incohérence dans les sens de circulation. Cette situation rend les déplacements actifs non sécuritaire.
Le projet permettra de réaliser une étude de mobilité et de circulation afin d'analyser la situation actuelle et de proposer un aménagement sécuritaire et favorisant le transport actif par le biais de réaménagement du secteur et d'ajout de mobilier urbain.
