Application d'une méthode d'élaboration d'un réseau cyclable utilitaire et fonctionnel en milieu urbain

Abstract

Quebec's cycling infrastructure is deficient in many documented ways. At the network level, the lack of connectivity and the discontinuity of its sections, the detours, and the insufficient number or complete absence of links are some of the factors that disadvantage cycling as the modal choice, at barely 1.5% in Quebec in 2016 (Statistique Canada, 2016). Current Quebec practices in cycling infrastructure planning and design seem to be at odds with commuter cycling for various population groups. This thesis focuses on the functionality of utilitarian bicycle infrastructures for different population groups in urban areas. The purpose of the thesis is to implement a method for developing an utilitarian and functional bicycle network in a Quebec setting. The method draws on Dutch practices in bicycle infrastructure planning and design, and was applied in the borough of Verdun in Montreal.
