The City of Montreal has taken an important step by approving a project agreement with Canadian Pacific Railway.

This ambitious project aims to establish a new level crossing in the MIL Montreal sector, an area undergoing significant transformation and development.

In addition to this agreement, the City has also authorized the granting of the contract for the related works, marking the beginning of a series of significant improvements for the region.

The MIL Montreal sector, located in the heart of the city, is rapidly expanding with many residential, commercial, and institutional projects underway.

The addition of a new level crossing is essential to meet the growing needs for mobility and safety of residents and users in this area.

This level crossing will help to streamline traffic and reduce waiting times at intersections, while ensuring better safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

The agreement project with the Canadian Pacific Railway is the result of several months of negotiations and planning. It includes specific measures to minimize disruptions during the work and to ensure that the level crossing meets the highest safety standards.

The work will include the construction of new infrastructure, the installation of advanced signaling systems, and the development of safe pathways for pedestrians and cyclists.

The authorization for granting the contract for the work is a crucial step that allows the project to be officially launched.

The work is expected to start in the coming months and will be carried out in several phases to limit impacts on traffic and the daily activities of residents.

The City of Montreal is committed to regularly informing the public about the progress of the work and to implementing measures to ensure the safety and comfort of everyone during this period.

This level crossing project is part of a broader vision of sustainable development and urban mobility for Montreal.

By improving transportation infrastructure and facilitating movement in the MIL Montreal area, the City is helping to create a more accessible and pleasant environment for its residents.

De L'Épée et de la Gare-de-Triage, ce futur passage à niveau facilitera les déplacements actifs entre les arrondissements de Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension et d'Outremont et contribuera au désenclavement de ces secteurs.

Le projet prévoit notamment des aménagements afin d'assurer l'accessibilité universelle, via l'installation de chicanes amovibles pour vélos de part et d'autre du passage à niveau, ainsi que l'installation de bollards et de panneaux de signalisation.
