"urbanization"

The commission received an informative presentation on the revision of the city's Land Use and Development Plan (SAD) to align with new provincial government orientations (OGAT). The process, which will run until 2028, involves integrating climate resilience, ecosystem conservation, and housing needs. Members discussed energy potential, industrial heat recovery, and the importance of public consultation.

The committee will discuss and analyze the planning and urbanization of major collector and arterial roads in Gatineau. This discussion is important for residents as it influences future road design, traffic flow, and neighborhood development.

The Commission reviewed an update on the prioritization of urbanizing collector and arterial roads based on safety criteria. This process helps the city rank infrastructure investments for 52 street segments totaling 69 kilometers, focusing on ditch piping, sidewalks, bike paths, and lighting. A final recommendation is expected at the May meeting once data analysis is complete.
