19 JAN 2026 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST SAFETY Pedestrian and cyclist safety are equally prominent in the project design, as several new links and path improvements will bridge existing transportation networks. “By creating a pedestrian corridor linking Avenue des Hôtels and the Sainte-Foy train station, pedestrian access to the station will be improved, as will intermodality between train and bus users,” says Simon Pilote, strategic Project Management Advisor, Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. He notes that the project will also reshape a formerly purely utilitarian space. “The architectural design and landscaping will encourage active transportation users to travel through this currently neglected area.” Additional improvements include a continuous pedestrian link along Avenue des Hôtels, widened multi use paths, and new bike lanes “on each side of Avenue des Hôtels between the Aquarium du Québec and Chemin Saint-Louis to connect existing networks.” The engineering context is highly complex and requires intensive planning and communication, as the corridor sits near the region’s only two inter-river crossings and a major highway interchange with many connections to the municipal road network. “Traffic management during the construction (Photo Credit : Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable et Mobilité Montréal)
