Arrondissement de Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Service des infrastructures, de la voirie et des transports
Charter file
Under the Montréal Charter of Rights and Responsibilities, the City is committed to “developing its territory in a safe manner”.
A citizen fears for pedestrians’ safety near the Snowdon subway station, and more specifically at the intersection of Queen-Mary and Westbury.
Our on-site visit reveals that the north and south pedestrian crossings of this intersection are not protected by crosswalks, as is the case for the east and west crossings.
According to Ville de Montréal’s standards, the proximity to a subway station would justify the installation of pedestrian crosswalks at these locations as well. We intervene in this respect.
The Service des infrastructures, de la voirie et des transports installs pedestrian crosswalks at the North and West crossings of the intersection, as well as a prohibiting right-left turn arrow that forces drivers to proceed straight through. As a result, pedestrian safety is greatly improved.
