As of Monday, March 30, the STL stated that it had enough vehicles to fully restore its regular service, which is sooner than expected.
“We thank our customers for their understanding during this period,” said Josée Roy, STL’s General Director, in a statement. “Our priority has been to minimize the impact on our customers as much as possible.”

On March 10, the transit company had announced the cancellation of around sixty bus trips due to significant delays in the regular maintenance of its bus fleet. These delays were mainly caused by challenges in its supply chain and equipment management.
“A thorough analysis of the situation allowed STL to implement short-term measures,” the statement explains. “Whether to address staff absences, accelerate the delivery of certain parts, or review specific operational processes, the teams redoubled their efforts, and these efforts have yielded more than satisfactory results.”

In parallel, STL has established a team bringing together various stakeholders to make recommendations aimed at improving the current structure and its various components.
“Our customers can be assured that we are doing everything possible to prevent a similar situation in the future,” concluded the General Director.

It should be noted that the opposition party, Action Laval, had called for an internal investigation “to obtain a clear picture of the situation and a recovery plan to restore service” during the municipal council meeting held on March 10. Mayor Stéphane Boyer had refused to discuss the proposal at the time but was not opposed to a possible investigation.
“I know that at STL, steps and actions are already underway. An investigation can take place afterward. It’s not the investigation itself that will solve the problem. STL is already taking action [to resolve it]. I don’t see any urgency to debate this tonight,” he had said. (N.P.)

Service interruptions will take place across the entire Réseau express métropolitain (REM) on four selected days in February. These interruptions are required to carry out periodic maintenance work.

More specifically, early closures will begin at 9 p.m. on February 6, 7, and 27. On those same dates, the last departure from Brossard will be at 8 p.m., compared with 8:10 p.m. for the last departure from Deux-Montagnes.

A full network closure is also scheduled for the entire day on Sunday, February 15.

Customers are therefore encouraged to plan their trips on those dates using their preferred trip planner. Alternative travel options will be offered by Greater Montréal’s public transit partners.

It should be noted that two stations on the REM Deux-Montagnes branch are located in Laval, namely the Sainte-Rose and Île-Bigras stations. (N.P.)

This Saturday, September 27, the Société de transport de Laval (STL) will hold its annual $1 Day.

On this day, single bus fares will cost only $1 across the entire regular Laval bus network. Payment can be made on board only, using debit or credit card, or cash.

This marks the ninth edition of the initiative—however, it will be the first time the event is held on a Saturday, coinciding with World Tourism Day.

“Take advantage of the opportunity to discover or rediscover Laval and its attractions—whether it’s cultural discoveries, outdoor adventures, agri-food experiences, or outings in the heart of downtown,” the City stated in a press release.

“The $1 Day is a concrete initiative to promote sustainable mobility. In a context marked by the return of road congestion and the urgency of the climate crisis, it offers an affordable option for those wishing to experience public transit,” added Josée Roy, STL’s Executive Director.

In 2024, the initiative recorded nearly 1,000 more trips compared to the previous edition.

As a reminder, children aged 11 and under can always ride for free when accompanied by someone 14 or older with a valid transit pass. (N.P.)

The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has announced the start of paving work on the service road of Highway 440.

The work will take place in the westbound direction, between Highways 15 and 13, starting on June 30. It will continue until the end of the summer. Paving on the eastbound direction was carried out and completed last year.

These interventions are primarily aimed at improving driving comfort along this roadway.

Traffic Management
The work will mostly be done at night to minimize the impact on the road network. It will involve full closures of the service road and access ramps along various sections.

For now, the Ministry plans to close the service road from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. during construction periods. Entrance and exit ramps will be inaccessible from 9:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.

During full closures, detour routes set up on the network will be marked with temporary signage.

Please note that the work may be postponed, extended, or cancelled due to unfavorable weather conditions or operational constraints. (N.P.)

Radars Deployed to Protect Construction Workers in Laval

Courrier Laval News — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 18:57:09 +0000

This article written in french by Benoit Leblanc was automatically translated using AI

With the arrival of summer, the prevention squad of the Laval Police Department (SPL) has installed mobile radars at construction sites across each sector of its territory.

Prioritizing prevention over punishment, the goal of this initiative is to educate motorists about their speed and protect workers present on public roads.

Placed both before and after construction zones, these radar signs displayed drivers’ speed or messages such as “Caution,” “Danger,” and others to alert and educate road users.

Two of these radars were installed near a temporary worksite on Industriel Boulevard, between Munk Avenue and Lippman Street, on Wednesday, June 11.

Following the initiative, a decrease in vehicle speed of 10% to 20% was observed — a positive result in the effort to better protect traffic controllers and their colleagues.

Between 2020 and 2024 in Laval, accidents involving bodily harm that occurred in or near construction zones resulted in 34 victims, including 1 fatality, 2 seriously injured, and 31 with minor injuries.

This operation was made possible thanks to a key partnership between the SPL, the City of Laval’s Public Works, and the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ), which provided a grant under the theme “Je suis SécuriVert près des chantiers” (“I am Safety-Green near construction sites”).

The initiative was inspired by the recent success of human-shaped school zone radar signs designed to protect children.

It is also part of Laval’s road safety plan, “Tout doux dans nos rues” (“Easy Does It on Our Streets”), which aims to improve safety and road sharing across Île Jésus.

Mobilité Montréal has issued a reminder about various closures affecting the road network across the Greater Montreal area this weekend, including two in Laval.

One disruption is planned on the service roads of Highway 15, in both directions, with the complete closure of the ramps leading to Notre-Dame and de la Concorde boulevards. This closure is scheduled for Sunday, June 1, from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Northbound drivers will be directed to take a detour via Le Corbusier Boulevard, while those heading south can use the ramp for Cartier Boulevard.

There is also a complete closure planned for Exit 4 northbound on Highway 19, which leads to Lévesque Boulevard. Motorists will be able to use the next exit as a detour.

It is also worth noting that several disruptions are expected on the municipal road network throughout the weekend, particularly due to the Laval Firefighters’ Race, which will take place on Sunday, June 1.

In total, the City of Laval has announced 40 street closures related to the event. (N.P.)

Here Are the Worst Roads in Laval and Quebec in 2025

Courrier Laval News — Sun, 18 May 2025 12:00:50 +0000

This article written in french by Nicholas Pereira was automatically translated using AI

CAA-Quebec has unveiled its 2025 ranking of the worst roads in Quebec, with Boulevard de la Concorde Est taking the top (unfortunate) spot in Laval.

It outranked Boulevard des Mille-Îles, last year’s “winner,” and Boulevard Marc-Aurèle-Fortin to complete the top three worst roads on Île Jésus.

In 2024, the undesirable Laval podium included Boulevards des Laurentides and Lévesque Ouest.

Provincial Top 10
No roads in Laval made it onto the list of the 10 worst roads in Quebec.

This year, the infamous top spot goes to Chemin du Contour-du-Lac-à-Beauce, located in La Tuque. According to CAA-Quebec, users of this Mauricie road rallied to draw attention to the severely deteriorated condition of the pavement.

Chemin Klock, in Gatineau, and Chemin Notch, in Chelsea, rank second and third, respectively. These are two of five road infrastructures from the Outaouais region to make it into Quebec’s top 10 worst roads for 2025.

Here is the full top 10 list:

Chemin du Contour-du-Lac-à-Beauce (La Tuque)
Chemin Klock (Gatineau)
Chemin Notch (Chelsea)
Chemin Cook (Gatineau)
Chemin Pink (Gatineau)
Rang Petit-Capsa (Pont-Rouge)
Chemin du Lac-Saint-François (Saint-Hubert-de-Rivière-du-Loup)
Chemin Hamilton (Inverness)
Rue des Laurentides (Gatineau)
Route Principale (Wentworth-Nord)

A Desired Moratorium?
Furthermore, a recent CAA-Quebec survey conducted among its members revealed that 79% of respondents support a temporary suspension of all new road development projects until the current infrastructure is properly maintained.

For the organization, this demonstrates that the current state of the road network is a significant concern for road users.

“Everyone wants a better-quality road network, but resources are limited. Our campaign is an annual reminder that choices must be made—often between maintaining the current network and developing new roads,” said Nicolas Ryan, Director of Public Affairs and Media Relations at CAA-Quebec, in a press release.
