Quebec is reviving plans to redevelop a key stretch of Route 132 on Montreal\u2019s South Shore, announcing Saturday that a new project office will be created to move the long-awaited initiative forward.<\/p>\n
The project targets a five-kilometre section of the corridor between Highway 730 in Sainte-Catherine and Rue Principale in Delson. The government says the goal is to improve traffic flow while promoting public transit and active transportation in the growing region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe creation of a project office marks a decisive step forward,\u201d Premier Christine Fr\u00e9chette said in a statement.<\/p>\n
According to the government, the office will bring together planners, engineers and other specialists.<\/p>\n
Several options will be analyzed, including transforming the roadway into an urban boulevard with two lanes in each direction, adding a reserved transit lane, and installing sidewalks and bike paths.<\/p>\n
A technical committee will also be created, including representatives of project partners and a liaison officer for the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke.<\/p>\n
The project is included in Quebec\u2019s Infrastructure Plan 2026-2036. The government said the project\u2019s timeline and cost will be determined once the planning phase is complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quebec is reviving plans to redevelop a key stretch of Route 132 on Montreal\u2019s South Shore, announcing Saturday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-795772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
