Cycle paths
Over the years, to ensure safe and enjoyable cycling, the Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion has developed a network of bike paths that now totals 63.7 km.
A network from one end of the City to the other
The entire bike path network is asphalted. It is accessible to all—walkers, joggers and inline skaters. It crosses several neighbourhoods, connecting parks, schools, grocery stores, shops, etc.

Planned Improvements for 2026
-
As part of the MTMD’s Route 340 redevelopment project—but funded by the City—a pedestrian and bicycle bridge will be built to extend the active transportation corridor along Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes from Boulevard de la Gare to the site of the new Vaudreuil-Soulanges Hospital, crossing over Highway 30. This infrastructure project is receiving up to $2 million in funding under the MTMD’s 2025–2026 Financial Assistance Program for Active Transportation Development in Urban Areas (TAPU). Work began in the spring and will continue through the end of September for paving. No complete closures of the highway are planned during this work.
Sections developed in 2025
- A new off-road multi-use path has been built on rue Émile-Bouchard, between boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and rue Toe-Blake. In view of the residential construction in this area, the portion of the trail between rue Toe-Blake and the municipal hub will be built at a later date, to avoid additional obstructions.
- Phase 2 of the bike path on rue Valois, between 8th Avenue and avenue Marier.
- The bike lane on the north side (westbound) of rue Jeannotte was moved off the roadway to increase user safety, between boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes and rue Bourget.
Good practice and compliance with rules
Enjoying bike paths also means sharing the road safely and with respect for other users. To make every journey a pleasant one, whether by bike, on foot or on a scooter, here are a few tips to follow to ensure harmonious cohabitation on bike paths and multi-purpose lanes.
For safe and pleasant traffic :
- Stay in line and keep to the right to leave space for safe overtaking.
- Respect speed limits: on shared lanes, the maximum speed is 20 km/h.
- Announce your movements: use your voice or a bell before overtaking another user.
- Be visible at all times, especially at night: wear bright or reflective clothing and make sure your bike is equipped with lights.
- Wear a helmet for your own safety, even if it's not compulsory.
- Respect traffic signs (stops, priorities, direction of traffic) as you would in a car.
- Be courteous: give way to pedestrians and be patient at all times.
- Stay alert: avoid using your cell phone while riding, and always keep one hand on the handlebars.
- Ride only in authorized lanes: sidewalks are reserved for pedestrians, unless otherwise indicated.
- Adapt your riding to weather conditions, traffic and your surroundings.
Different types of bikes are subject to different rules. Visit the official websites to find out more about each type:
