Redevelopment of Galt Street West
New developments promoting active transportation, safety and smoother traffic flow
With the infrastructure of Galt Street West nearing the end of its useful life, the City of Sherbrooke saw this as an opportunity to re-examine the configuration of this area, considered a true gateway to its downtown area.
As a result, a major project was proposed to implement new developments designed to promote the use of active modes of transport, increase pedestrian safety and improve traffic flow. In addition, the expansion of a park and the underground placement of electrical cables were carried out to make the area more attractive and functional.
