Since the spring of 2013, we regularly intervene to improve the universal access of terraces located in two key areas of Arrondissement de Ville-Marie, namely Old-Montr\u00e9al (Place Jacques-Cartier and Saint-Paul Street) and the pedestrian section of Sainte-Catherine Street in the Village (between Saint-Hubert Street and Papineau Avenue).<\/p>\n
Many terraces do not meet the universal access standards: \u00a0lack of an access ramp or impracticable ramp; insufficient clearance to allow the movement of people with disabilities; etc.<\/p>\n
The Borough gradually improved its approach and intensified its follow-ups.\u00a0 These efforts provided results.\u00a0 During the summer of 2015, we noted marked improvements.<\/p>\n
Our office will pursue its follow-ups and pay particular attention to the Saint-Paul Street reconstruction project and to the revamping of Place Jacques-Cartier. \u00a0We want to make sure that the new facilities located on the public domain, namely terraces, respect the universal access standards and good practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
