Mobility Study for the Angus Sector in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie

Analysis of the current situation and identification of issues

Starting in the fall of 2022, the Intervia team identified 17 intersections and 6 street sections in the area for data collection and field surveys. A virtual twin was then mounted in microsimulation software, to allow a quantifiable analysis of the traffic conditions in the area. This was part of the detailed characterization of the current situation of the road, active transportation, and public transit networks. In so doing, many issues were identified, some geometric, and others related to traffic and space sharing between the various modes of transport.

Street infrastructure concepts and recommendations

To address these issues, the Intervia team proposed street infrastructure concepts that met four mobility appeasement goals: revamping active transportation to reduce road traffic, making travel safer through street infrastructure as enshrined in the City of Montreal's Vision Zero, reducing the attractiveness of residential streets to transit traffic, and mitigating parking issues. In this light, each proposal was accompanied by three criteria: the scope of the modification, the duration of the measure, and the anticipated cost. This enabled the borough to make an informed decision in selecting the most optimal scenarios and concepts.

Various concepts related to setting up bicycle paths, one-way streets, traffic light synchronization, reconfiguration of intersections, parking spaces, and speed limits were proposed.
