The City of Brossard has approved the updating of road signs in sector T, mainly on avenue Tisserand.
At its regular meeting on December 3, the Brossard municipal council approved the updating of road signage in sector T, mainly on avenue Tisserand. A total of five signs will be removed from Avenue Tisserand over the next few weeks.
A sixth sign, recently removed on boulevard Pelletier, completes the updated signage in the area.
Changes in line with residents’ wishes
The changes reflect the results of a questionnaire conducted among the area’s population in the summer of 2024. Respondents were invited to share their views on traffic, speed and parking in their local area.
Highlights of the survey showed a high level of satisfaction with the measures implemented by the city to reduce speeding (77% satisfaction) and parking (67% satisfaction), although the rate was not as high for traffic (31% satisfaction). In light of these results, and considering that updating the signage does not represent a safety issue, the municipal council members endorsed the recommendation to remove some of the existing signage.
“After a year of operation of the Réseau express métropolitain, it was important for us to know what impact the measures put in place around Panama station were having on the daily lives of residents. Following an in-depth analysis by our experts, in addition to taking into account the experience of our citizens, we are pleased to adjust the traffic management measures.”
mentioned Brossard mayor Doreen Assaad.
“We did our homework and played our role as elected municipal officials: we surveyed the population in advance to find out the concerns of residents in the area. We took steps to make the area safe for the arrival of the REM. A year later, we have reassessed the situation through surveys and meetings with a number of citizens,” says Patrick Langlois, municipal councillor and chairman of the sustainable mobility committee.
