Bike paths and pedestrian areas

  • A new multi-purpose off-road track will be 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 any additional hindrance.
  • Phase 2 of the bike path on rue Valois, between 8th Avenue and avenue Marier, is conditional on receiving financial assistance. This is a mostly off-pavement path.

Infrastructures 

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 Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD) and will be carried out in the evenings or on weekends to limit the impact on traffic. This work will require a partial closure of Harwood Boulevard 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.

Paving

  • No work at the moment

Buildings

  • 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.

Plan directeur des parcs et espaces verts

Adopted in the spring of 2019, the Parks and Green Spaces Master Plan, covering the period 2018-2025, is an essential tool for managers and elected officials to adequately plan investments in existing and future parks. It allows us to take stock of the various parks on the territory, including the recreational and sports facilities that are located there, and to follow their evolution and use by users.

  • The redevelopment of Bourget Park will be completed shortly. The park now features a bantam baseball field, including fencing, bleachers, dugouts and benches, new children's play areas, a water feature, a service building and street furniture (picnic tables, benches, drinking fountain, sun shelter, etc.). A path connecting all the areas winds through the park.
  • Work on Parc Paul-Gérin-Lajoie began in last fall and will continue this spring. Two volleyball courts will be added to the existing ones, and a workout area will be created (the 2023 participatory budget’s winning project). A permanent lighting system will be installed for all of the facilities on site: skate-board park, volleyball courts and workout area. Street furniture and a drinking fountain will also be among the park’s additions.
  • The City is awaiting a certificate of authorization from the MELCC for the construction of lighted tennis and pickleball courts on a vacant municipal lot on rue Valois, near Dorion-Gardens park. Work can begin in mid-August once this authorization has been received.
