Arrondissement de Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve
The Borough announces that five additonal bicycle paths will remain open as of the 2018-2019 winter. The OdM wants to make sure that the appropriate measures are in place to ensure a problem-free transition and avoid the issuance of Statements of Offence to drivers of good faith unaware of this decision: e.g. modification of parking signs and adequate communication with citizens and the SPVM.
The Borough has already sent Notices to Residents and published ads in local media and social media informing the population of this decision. The Borough, however, has not contacted the SPVM to ensure an orderly transition.
Following our intervention, the Borough quickly touches base with the Local Police Stations and with the SPVM division responsible for the Parking Agents. It also ensures that the few remaining new signage is installed quickly.
