Redevelopment of Route De Lotbinière

Work on the redevelopment of route De Lotbinière, between Harwood Boulevard and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Avenue was largely completed in the summer of 2025. The final phase of this project involves installing sewer pipes under Harwood Boulevard. This work requires authorization from the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MTMD) and will be carried out in the evenings or on weekends to limit the impact on traffic. A partial closure of Harwood Boulevard will be necessary at this location.

This project is part of the Harwood PPU – De Lotbinière by contributing to the revitalization of the area and reducing mineralized surfaces. The addition of street lighting, sidewalks, and bike paths on this road will ensure the safety of citizens who use active transportation. Interesting fact: the development of vegetated swales includes more than 790 trees, shrubs, and plants.

Redevelopment of boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes

Phase 2 of the redevelopment of boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes, eagerly awaited due to the current state of the roadway, is scheduled for summer 2025. The targeted section is between rue des Floralies and rue Henry-Ford, excluding this intersection. The work will involve the construction of two lanes in each direction, in addition to a bicycle path, sidewalks and vegetated strips. To ensure maximum safety for the most vulnerable users, the layout profile will be reversed, i.e. the vegetated strip, the bike lane and the sidewalk will be on the right-hand side of the roadway, in that order. The city is currently awaiting the certificate of authorization from the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCC), which is required before work can begin. The work will entail some traffic disruption. Financial assistance of up to $3 million has been granted to the Town for this project by the MTMD, under the support component of the Programme d'aide à la voirie locale - 2025-2026.

Construction of a new underground reservoir

Construction of the new underground reservoir on boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes began in spring 2025, west of route Harwood. This reservoir, with a volume of nearly 6,000 m³, will eventually take over the role played by the water tower in the Dorion sector.

• Municipal Hub: Since February 17, 2025, all municipal services previously located at 2555 rue Dutrisac have been grouped together at the Municipal Hub at 2000 rue Émile-Bouchard. The library also officially moved on May 23, 2025.
  

   

• The request for financial support for the construction of an aquatic complex submitted in response to the call for projects under the Programme d'aide financière aux infrastructures récréatives, sportives et de plein air - volet 1 (PAFIRSPA) was not accepted by the Quebec government. The request was for financial assistance of $20 million, the maximum available. This is the second refusal for this project. Starting in 2018, meetings were held with aquatic-related associations to identify their needs, and a functional and technical program was drawn up in conjunction with professionals specializing in the design of this type of infrastructure. Estimated at $39 million in 2019, the project budget has now been updated to $59 million.
