FacebookFor a safe and utilitarian bicycle network in Rosemere!
- on Grande-Côte Road
- on Labelle Boulevard
- on the link between Roland-Durand and René-A-Robert Boulevards under the 640 Highway
- on the railway bridge between Rosemere and Laval
Despite the improvements that were made on the Rosemere network of bicycle paths over the last years, the bicyclists still cannot safely bicycle on the main commercial streets, mainly on Grande-Côte Road, Labelle Boulevard, and under the 640 Highway between Roland-Durand and René-A-Robert Boulevards which allows access to the Route Verte in Ste-Thérèse.
During a survey held in 2010 by Rosemere citizens and Enviro Mille-Îles, 94% of the respondents indicated that the commercial roads (Grande-Côte, Labelle) were barely or not safe for bicycle travelling. Now these corridors are essential (e.g.: access to Laval by the Marius-Dufresne bridge) for utilitarian bicycle trips that increase constantly. During the public consultation held by the town of Rosemere in April 2010, the town promised to create bicycle paths on Grande-Côte Road and Curé-Labelle Boulevard. Road works were done during summer 2011 on Grande-Côte Road but the town did not respect its promise for this crucial corridor. Moreover, during the public consultation, Rosemere citizens asked the town to plan, with the proper authorities, a link towards Laval on the railway bridge to improve the access to the Route Verte. Rosemere has taken no action concerning our request.
- Whereas Grande-Côte Road is not safe for bicycle travelling and Rosemere has not made possible the access of its main route for cyclists unlike surrounding municipalities that did so many years ago;
- Whereas Labelle Boulevard is not safe for bicycling and is a major route to access Laval and its Route Verte using the Marius-Dufresne Bridge and also is an access to most of Rosemere businesses.
- Whereas the link between Roland-Durand and René-A-Robert Boulevards under the 640 overpass, the bicyclists risk their lives daily when using this way to reach Ste-Thérèse (Académie Ste-Thérèse, Collège Lionel-Groulx, Polyvalente Ste-Thérèse, etc.);
- Whereas the railway bridge between Rosemere and Laval would constitute an important link for utilitarian cycling by allowing a 5 kilometers shortcut on the way to Laval and Montreal.
- Systematically integrate the bicycle transport mode in design studies and improvement projects of Grande-Côte Road to fit out a bicycle network while preserving its rustic aspect;
- Proceed to negotiations with the Quebec Ministry of Transport (MTQ) in order to implement a bicycle path on Labelle Boulevard in conformity with established practices of the MTQ between the Marius-Dufresne Bridge and the 640 Highway;
- Proceed to design studies in cooperation with the MTQ and Ste-Thérèse in order to build a bicycle path between Roland-Durand and René-A-Robert Boulevards under the 640 overpass and thus give access to the Route Verte ;
- Establish a partnership among different organisms: CP, AMT and Laval in order to add a bicycle path on the railway bridge between Rosemere and Laval in the event of its maintenance or repair (on the free part of the piers or off center) and achieve a link to the Route Verte #1 in Laval.
