Impacts and Mitigation Measures:

The goal of the REM project office and the NouvLR consortium is to mitigate the impacts on local residents and to ensure the safety of everyone by implementing appropriate measures. 

• Noise, vibrations and dust could be generated depending on the nature of the work. In order to ensure compliance with the noise, vibration and air quality criteria to which the project is subject, a follow-up is carried out by environmental experts. 
• Complete closure of traffic lanes on a portion of Oka Road. A detour route will be put in place for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists via Boulevard du Lac and Henri-Dunant Street. Road users are invited to follow the signs that have been put in place.
• Shops and businesses will remain accessible at all times.
