Redesigning to improve quality of life

As part of the reclassification of the Griffintown area, Rue Rioux was identified as a peaceful street, with widened sidewalks including continuous spaces for tree planting, which also prioritize pedestrians. Development work on Rue Rioux was targeted as a priority project, as it includes civil engineering work to bury electrical wires in accordance with the agreement between the city and Hydro-Québec.

Improvements to the street

Rue Rioux is now a more pleasant and user-friendly street for pedestrians, thanks to:

• A pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Rue Rioux and Rue la Montagne 
• Widened sidewalks
• Trees and plants to capture rainwater and green the environment
• Replacing all light fixtures and poles

A public square has also been built at the north intersection of Rue de la Montagne, with benches and bike stands available for pedestrians and cyclists who want a place to take a break. 

We are aware of the inconveniences this work may be causing you and would like to thank you for your valuable cooperation.
