Planning

Active Transportation Master Plan

This document will help you target the interventions required to facilitate pedestrian and cyclist movements in a given area: proposed networks (sidewalks, paths, bike lanes), types of facilities to be favored, regulatory measures, communication plan, etc.

An action plan can be integrated into the active mobility plan, to prioritize actions and interventions according to the needs of pedestrians and cyclists and the scale and complexity of the work to be carried out.

Bicycle Master Plan

This document will help you target the actions you need to take to facilitate cycling in a given area: proposed network, types of facilities to be favored, regulatory measures, communication plan, etc.

An action plan can be integrated into the bicycle plan, to prioritize actions and interventions according to the needs of cyclists and the scale and complexity of the work to be carried out.

Pedestrian master plan

This document will help you target the actions you need to take to facilitate pedestrian travel in a given area: proposed network, types of facilities to be favored, regulatory measures, communication plan, etc.

An action plan can be integrated into the pedestrian plan to prioritize actions and interventions according to the needs of pedestrians and the importance and complexity of the work to be carried out.

School Travel Plan

Intended for use by elected officials, planning specialists and municipal police forces, as well as by schools and school boards, this document draws up a specific list of actions to be taken to improve safety around schools. To this end, interviews are conducted and a scouting walk is carried out to draw up a precise picture of students' travel habits and conditions.

This overview enables us to accurately identify the main obstacles to walking and cycling. We can then propose corrective measures to make the path to school both safe and pleasant.

Technical notice

Diagnosis of cycling network

Our experts will go out into the field to carry out an in-depth analysis of the current cycling network. They will then be able to suggest corrective measures to ensure the efficiency, comfort and safety of bicycle travel.

Choice of routes and layouts

Our expert consultants can support and guide you in the selection and design of all types of routes for cyclists and pedestrians. In addition to providing technical advice that takes into account the parameters specific to your situation, they can recommend the type of network or lane you should choose for a layout that is practical, pleasant and safe.

Signage plan for pedestrians and cyclists

We can help you plan the information signage you need to better inform and direct pedestrians and cyclists using your territory or facilities.

Landscape design

Feasibility study

A successful layout often begins with a rigorous feasibility study! Let our team check with you that your project is technically feasible and economically viable.

Concept plan and preliminary design

Our advice is invaluable when it comes to the general planning of a cycle route! Our concept plans will provide you with an overview and typical cross-sections as a basis for detailed planning.

Support for designers during the detailed design phase

When planning a layout, make sure you make the best choices in relation to the needs of all the users for whom it is intended.

We can assist designers at every stage of the project, from feasibility study and preliminary design to detailed design and realization.

Detailed design

Policies for pedestrians and cyclists

Drafting policies

Let us draft and present an internal policy to your departments, to ensure that they take into account the needs of pedestrians and cyclists in all their projects and decisions. We can also produce a pedestrian and cyclist charter, the adoption of which will give public expression to your municipality's or organization's commitments, and which should be integrated into the practices of your teams and suppliers.

Training

Technical training in the planning and design of pedestrian and cycling facilities

Whether you're a professional, an elected official or a concerned citizen, with our specialized training courses you'll be fully up to speed on all aspects of planning and designing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

We offer training courses to suit every need, from an overview of the main layout concepts to the details of their design.
