Voies réservées - Discussion générale

Pas le tronçon Villeray malheureusement, par refus de l’arrondissement. Tronçons Parc Ex et Saint-Michel.

Donc du progrès, mais le tronçon avec le plus de trafic soit refusé :roll_eyes:. C’est pour ça que je ne fi pas seulement au nombre total de kilomètres de voies réservées, car les endroits qui ont besoin le plus sont presque toujours exclus

La voie sur Jarry dans les environs de la 40 va être très utile par contre!

Hâte de voir ca sur Jarry et j’espère qu’elle ira s’y connecter jusqu’a Pie-IX, pour y faire une connexuon avec le SRB.

Pourquoi l’arrondissement refuse t’il dans Villeray? C’est l’un des segments les plus potentiellement intéressants à cause de la densité de commerces et la proximité au métro.

Qu’il commence à gérer leur Barbecue avant de penser à une voie réservé!

C’est sage !

C’est pas possible de partager la réponse qu’ils vous ont communiqué?

Non c’est plutôt confidentiel comme info :sweat_smile:

Bouh! :cry:

Si je veux demander à l’arrondissement pourquoi il n’y a pas de voies réservées sur Jarry, les meilleures personnes à contacter sont Giuliana Fumagalli et Rosanie Filato?

Probablement qu’il n’a pas de voies réservées sur ce tronçon, vue qu’on vient de refaire la rue et que enlever tous les stationnements aurait sûrement causé un tollé chez les commerçants ?

Plutôt leurs successeures: Laurence Lavigne Lalonde et Martine Musau Muele

Merci. Le site de la ville n’est ps à jour alors

C’est à jour sur montreal.ca

Concernant le prolongement de la voie réservée sur Henri-Bourassa ouest dans Saint-Laurent, savons-nous s’il s’agit d’un prolongement vers l’Est ou vers l’est?

Est, de Cavendish à Marcel-Laurin.

NDG merchants petition against new reserved bus lane on Queen Mary

Some merchants on Queen Mary Boulevard say the City of Montreal is not listening to their concerns over a proposed reserve bus lane. The city says the bus lanes will give a boost to public transit users. As Global’s Dan Spector reports, the merchants have grouped together and launched a petition arguing the bus lanes aren’t necessary.

Multiple merchants in Cote-des-Neiges are upset about plans for a new reserved bus lane that will run in front of their stores.

They say the new lane on Queen Mary Road will be bad for business.

Barbara Vininsky’s family has been operating the Jack and Jill toy and clothing store on Queen Mary for over six decades.

She now worries her shop might be in danger.

“They are not helping our business. They’re taking away our livelihood,” she said.

The new reserved lane project is coming to Queen Mary this summer, between Côte-des-Neiges road and Macdonald avenue.

A lane of the eastbound side of the thoroughfare will be devoted to buses and taxis during the morning rush, and a lane on the westbound side will be reserved during the afternoon rush.

The city says the measure will shave nearly seven minutes off the commutes of 8,000 public transit users. During the afternoon rush, 40 parking spots will become unavailable.

“Queen Mary is not just for people on the bus,” said Sandra Climan, who owns the Bibliophile bookstore.

Climan and Vininsky are among a group of business owners operating on Queen Mary west of Decarie who fear their peak business hours will be negatively impacted by the lack of parking spots. They say if customers can’t park in front of their stores, they’ll stop coming and start shopping online.

They say on their part of the street, traffic is not an issue, so the bus lane is not needed.

“I understand that we need to help the environment and have buses and bikes. But this area, these three blocks west of Decarie, going west between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m., we don’t have a problem,” said Climan.

On Tuesday a group of merchants got together to express their displeasure with the plan.

They believe there should be no reserved lane on the westbound side of Queen Mary between Decarie and Macdonald.

“If you take away 40 parking places from us between 3:30 and 6:30, you’re taking away our customers,” said Climan.

The owner of the Punjab Canteen restaurant on Queen Mary says the inability to park in front during the dinner rush will be costly.

“Our main traffic starts at 5:00 p.m. after the schools are done. Most of the parents, they bring their kids they park their cars over here,” said owner Eswar Kosuri.

He said he fears delivery drivers will have difficulty stopping to pick up food, and that a new terrasse set to be installed soon will become undesirable with buses passing it during dinner.

The merchants presented a petition demanding a meeting with the borough.

Climan called for flexibility, but fears the city has already made up its mind.

Snowdon city councillor Sonny Moroz voted in favour of the lane, but hopes for a compromise.

“The borough and the STM and the city have to be there to listen to these concerns,” he said. “If you want to do big things fast, you have to do them right.”

Borough Mayor Gracia Katahwa was not available for an interview on the topic because she’s on vacation, but her administration sent a statement to Global News.

“We will show flexibility as we implement the new reserved bus lanes to make sure it lands as smoothly as possible, but status quo is no longer an option,” read an email sent by spokesperson Alicia Dufour. “Reserved bus lanes do not start or end with the most challenging area: they must be seen as a whole.”

Dufour’s email also explained that 60 paid parking spots will be added in the area where the reserved lanes will be implemented, though merchants said they didn’t know where those spots would be.

The city said it will organize a meeting with the merchants quickly, and the STM will be going door to door to discuss the project.

What would really help is a blue line extension west, with a station on Cavendish/CSL.

Unless Queen-Mary was stealthily pedestrianized in the last few years, the terrasse will be as desirable as with the current traffic.

Based on my travels on this 4 block stretch, I tend to agree. The eastbound lane is a must. Westbound, not so much.
The bigger problem for busses on this section is the light synchronisation. It’s practically guaranteed to slow down a bus if it has to stop in that section. I’d take staggered lights over a bus lane there.
