Le Liaisons - Infrastructures services - August to November 2013 Legend Recycling (blue bin) Garbage (black bin) Oversized waste Garage sales Treasure hunt Branches registrations Roundabout project! On Monday, May 27, 2013, Saint-Lazare mayor Robert Grimaudo and members of his council proudly announced their intention to proceed with the construction of a roundabout in 2014, an investment of nearly $1.5 million dollars. “I’m sure many of you will be delighted at the news”, said the mayor as he made the announcement. “We have chosen to announce the roundabout project right here, at the intersection of Avenue Bédard and Chemin Saint-Louis, in the middle of rush hour, so that the good news spreads as quickly as possible! We want to give hope to all those drivers who must negotiate this intersection every day, morning and night. In the past few years, it has been the scene of serious traffic jams during rush hour. This situation is also an inconvenience for those living near Domaine Saint-Louis because of impatient drivers using surrounding streets as a bypass. We are victims of our own success”, added the mayor, “our town has substantially increased its population but the road infrastructure has remained unchanged.” “Ramp no. 26 off highway 40 ranks in the top exits to enter and exit the town”, explained the mayor, “and, although it was redesigned in 2010, the large number of cars converging at Bédard/Saint-Louis intersection during rush hour turns this area into a traffic funnel. We have explored several options including installing a traffic light and widening the lanes to allow right turns, but a roundabout remains the safest, most efficient and most economical solution and it will keep traffic moving. ” “I want to assure our residents that this problem should be solved by the end of 2014, maybe even earlier. I also want to thank them for their patience.” When designing the roundabout, Genivar will take into account the maximum vehicle dimensions it will need to accommodate, for example vehicles going to the Chevrier sand quarries and heavier vehicles going to the agricultural areas along Chemin Saint-Louis. The construction of the roundabout, which will include bike path segments, will involve the expropriation of part of some lots. A borrowing by-law is expected to be adopted at the beginning of 2014. The Town will publish a flyer explaining the rules of the road applying to roundabouts such as the importance of yielding to traffic already in the circle, of entering to your right and of not stopping once inside the roundabout.
