Charter File
Arrondissement de Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension
Citizens are complaining about the recent installation of a bench, located in the dead centre of their green lane. They now have to manoeuvre their vehicle backward to exit the alley. The Borough rejects their request to reopen the alley.
The enquiry reveals that other shoreline residents had asked to have this alley blocked to traffic to improve the safety of children playing in it.
The Borough acknowledges that the resulting reverse manoeuvres pose a new safety issue. The Borough agrees to re-establish traffic in the centre of the alley, but still wants to mitigate it.
The bench was relocated alongside the alley. This redesign reduces the alley’s road width and by the same token, the vehicles’ speed.
