Ahuntsic–Cartierville council has adopted an ordinance lowering speed limits on five arterial or collector streets, including two reductions near schools.

The limit will drop from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Saint-Laurent and Saint-Michel boulevards and Papineau Avenue. Near schools, the limit will fall from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on De Salaberry Street and Sauvé Street East.

Other council decisions

The September 14 meeting also confirmed the borough’s participation in a $13.7-million renovation of the Albert-Dumouchel building. The borough says federal support could reach nearly $5.5 million for the cultural and community facility, which receives close to 300,000 visits a year.

Council approved up to $50,000 over five years for an UQAM urban-forest research chair and $46,818 for a winter brigade that helps seniors and people with reduced mobility with snow removal. The speed-limit changes are adopted measures; installation and enforcement timing was not specified in the borough’s summary.
