I live at the junction of the boroughs of Rosemont and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Petite-Patrie. A month ago, I noticed that very work on Molson Street between Rachel and St-Joseph Blvd.
The street is redone slightly wider, although it is only 2 lanes in the opposite side to land the Technopole Angus not yet developed. So now people who use the streets are in transit and passing cars can easily make accelerations up to 80 k / h to cover the distance between the two streets. So when you meet the limits of 50km / h or even as you drive slowly as the future boundary of 40 km / h, there are driving you crazy as you exceed doubling and you honking.
So I confess that my spouse and I hoped that the work would allow the establishment of a new cycle track which connects the long track along the rue des Carrières up the bike path on Rachel. We had heard about this possible connection and we said that with a path as wide as it was quite possible that there is a bike path that would be implemented.
To our surprise last week, instead of seeing the installation of posts to divide traffic lanes and a future bike path is finally emerging on the floor of the small lines that announce tracing of bicycle lanes on both sides of the street between the parking and traffic lane for cars.
Are people accountable for Street improvements have already been circulated cycling on the street to design such a facility? Currently, although there is room for the installation of the bike path, some cyclists ride on the sidewalk to avoid being too close to cars traveling in the blind spot and the doors that open.
Why not create suitable accommodation such as a bike path separate from the traffic?
With such an arrangement, I'm really not looking forward to wait on the evening news that a child is hit by a car because it came out slightly from its path.
