Traffic exiting l'Île-des-Soeurs
July 17, 2009
Dear Residents:
I would like to report on the situation that we have
been facing at rush hours, for the past few days, at the entrances and
exits of L’Île-des-Sœurs.
Major roadwork is under way at the present time in
order to double the access and thereby improve the flow of traffic at the
entrances and exits of the island. Although we have done our utmost to
keep inconveniences to a minimum during this crucial phase of the work, I
must admit that the impacts are greater than what we had anticipated. In
fact, it was to minimize the negative effects that we had planned this
phase during the summer—a time of year when traffic on the road system is
generally lighter.
Following the heavy traffic congestion last week, due
to incidents on the upper level highway network, we met with the main
parties concerned and agreed on additional measures to alleviate the
situation. It seems that they are successful, as we have noted an
improvement to the situation. However, we are not sheltered from other
sudden glitches that might occur between now and the end of this phase of
the work, which is expected to be completed by mid-August.
As for residents' safety, it wasn't jeopardized at
any time. Our emergency plan, set up a few years ago, in fact makes it
possible for specialized vehicles to access and leave the island within
the required periods of time.
The major work now under way will have an impact on
traffic for another few weeks. I am therefore appealing to your usual
cooperation and patience to help us get through this difficult phase. As a
L’Île-des-Soeurs resident, I can assure you that once all this work is
finished, we will be far better off as a
result. Claude Trudel, Borough
Mayor

Detour to Keep in Mind in Exiting L’Île-des-Soeurs
Verdun, July 6, 2009
— La Société des ponts Jacques-Cartier et Champlain inc. has informed us
that due to the continuation of work to improve the entrances and exits of
L’Île-des-Sœurs, access to Autoroute Bonaventure via Clément bridge will
be closed from 10 p.m. on July 10 to July 29 inclusively.
Motorists leaving the island to go
downtown will therefore have to take exit 60 off Autoroute 15-N, a slight
detour of approximately 0.6 km. Signs to this effect will be
installed.
The Verdun Borough thanks residents
for their cooperation while the work is under way to improve the network
of entrance and exit roads in the L’Île-des-Sœurs
neighbourhood. |
