Many residents have been asking the city to re-work Lucerne Boulevard for many years. The road is uneven; smaller repairs have built up over the years; and, it has potholes. There have been many delays to this work, but residents will finally see it being done in the coming weeks.

The project will focus on Lucerne between Vanier Road and Frank-Robinson Avenue. The work will include repaving and re-configuring the Frank-Robinson/Lucerne intersection. The city will install new traffic lights and left-turn lanes at the Grands-Châteaux and Riesling streets intersections. At the Fraser and Lucerne intersection, the traffic lights will be replaced and left-turn lanes will be added. The Victor-Beaudry and Lucerne intersection will also get a left turn lane and the lights modified.

Other work will focus on making the road safe for cyclists and pedestrians with the addition of curbs, sidewalks, and bike lanes. There will also be sewer repairs and extensions completed.
