Montreal, February 6, 2020 - More than ten years have passed since Vélo Québec published the guide Aménagements en faveur des piétons et des cyclistes. Since the needs of pedestrians and cyclists, as well as design practices and trends, have evolved since 2009, Vélo Québec is today launching the revised and updated 2nd edition of this guide, now entitled Aménagements en faveur des piétons et cyclistes. Providing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
This guide is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the development and management of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists: infrastructure, mobility or leisure professionals, engineers, urban planners, urban designers, trail managers, elected representatives or private citizens. You'll find exhaustive information presented in a way that's accessible to the uninitiated, while providing the technical details that development professionals are looking for.
«In order to introduce innovative developments such as the shared street, the bike lane, the suggested bike lane and the protected intersection, and to reflect changing practices - widening sidewalks, bike lanes physically separated from roadways, widespread traffic calming - this update was a must! Easier to consult and better illustrated, it leads readers to rethink the way they think about streets, roads and even urban space,» points out Marc Jolicoeur, co-author of the guide and Director of Research at Vélo Québec.
