E-petition
Initiated by Mathieu Murphy-Perron from Montreal, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change
Whereas:
- Parks Canada posted a tender notice for the rehabilitation of the Atwater pedestrian bridge (5P201-18-0208/A);
- The rehabilitation of the Atwater pedestrian bridge will result in it being closed for a period of up to 12 weeks;
- The Atwater pedestrian bridge is often used by pedestrians and cyclists;
- The proposed detour requires pedestrians and cyclists to take the Charlevoix bridge;
- The sidewalks on the Charlevoix bridge are approximately 109 centimetres wide;
- The standard width of sidewalks should be at least 122 centimetres; and
- The metal sidewalks of the Charlevoix bridge are extremely slippery in winter.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to immediately direct Parks Canada management to cancel the tender notice for the rehabilitation of the Atwater pedestrian bridge (5P201-18-0208/A) until a safer detour can be offered to pedestrians and cyclists.
