The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee today approved the recommended plan to improve transit travel time and reliability along St. Laurent Boulevard, between Hemlock and Innes roads. The plan would also help make getting around easier and more comfortable for everyone – whether you're driving, biking or walking.
Key benefits of the recommended plan include:
- Enhanced transit service, including sections of bus-only lanes, bus queue jump lanes at intersections and improved bus stops that will improve transit times
- New segregated cycle tracks and improved sidewalks
- A median multi-use pathway between Lemieux Street and Tremblay Road that removes conflicts with Highway 417 on- and off- ramps
- A multi-use pathway connection between St. Laurent Boulevard and St-Laurent O-Train Station
- Protected intersection designs at signalized intersections
- Improved road safety
- Opportunities to improve the public realm by adding shade trees and landscaping
