Projects

There is a tramway project in the works that is planned to go on chemin Vanier^[2] to launch by 2028.^[3]

In this region, many inhabitants are against more urban development. For example, in 2024, many inhabitants protested^[4] the construction of a 15-story inhabitation.^[5] This is because of a problem described as "Gatineau's fight between densification and mobility."^[6]

Enlargement of the Road

The road wasn't expanded in over a century, and congestion is a problem in the region. The then-mayor France Bélisle commented on this issue, saying that a solution couldn't wait.^[7] A funding of 2,8M$ was secured to enlarge chemin Vanier.^[8]
