Rehabilitation of a portion of Green Street
In the summer of 2024, the Ville de Saint-Lambert will rebuild part of Green Street (between Notre-Dame and Oak avenues). The work will consist of replacing the sewers and water mains, repaving, and rebuilding the sidewalks. The City will take advantage of this work to decontaminate and rebuild the library parking lot.
All work, including the first layer of paving, is expected to last until the end of summer 2024. The second layer of paving will be laid in the summer of 2025.
We are conscious of the inconveniences caused by such a major project and how they will disrupt your daily life. We would therefore like to help you prepare for the work.

Traffic
Green Street is currently closed between Oak and Mercille avenues.
As of Tuesday, June 25, the work zone will extend to Notre-Dame Avenue. The Green/Mercille and Green/Notre-Dame intersections will be closed to traffic. The detour route will use Victoria Avenue. Local traffic and access to businesses will be possible at all times. Once work begins, Green Street will be closed between Mercille and Oak avenues.
Neighbourhood residents
The reconstruction of a street is a complex operation involving several companies, and it disrupts people’s lives. We invite you to consult the Practical information during roadwork page, which will offer practical tips to ensure your daily routine remains as unaffected as possible.
If you wish to carry out renovation work on your home this summer, we invite you to consider the inconveniences caused by this major roadwork when planning your project. Remember that, among other things, when excavation work is underway to replace the pipes and rebuild the sidewalks in front of your home, it will be temporarily impossible to access your home with a vehicle. This type of work usually takes 10 working days.
During this roadwork, the entire street will be rebuilt, including replacing the water supply mains, sewer pipes, roadway, and sidewalks. You might want to undertake certain projects, which will be easier to do at this time, such as:
Sewer pipes and water supply mains
The Ville de Saint-Lambert will replace the water supply mains and sewer pipes up to the right-of-way of your property.
If you think there is a problem with your private water supply mains or the sewer pipes that run between your home and the property line, or that they might be obsolete, this would be a good time to replace them after the end of the rehabilitation works.
Driveway
If you would like to change the configuration of your curb and driveway entrance, this would also be a good time to schedule such work. You must submit your demand before April 19, 2024.

News
The information on this page will be continually updated. We invite you to check it regularly for progress reports on the work.
Good news! Green Street reopened this morning, just in time for this weekend's Saint-Lambert Days! The entire detour road has been removed, and traffic in the area is back to normal.
Note that some work remains to be completed. For this reason, parking restrictions between Notre-Dame and Oak avenues remain in place. We ask you to be cautious when traveling near the work zone, and to respect the signalization in place.
Thank you for your collaboration!
As part of the work on Green Street, residents of Mercille Avenue, between Desaulniers Boulevard and Lespérance Street, will have their water turned off at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, August 6. The shutdown will last approximately six hours.
When the water is restored, a preventive boil-water advisory will be in effect. Residents will be required to boil their water for 1 minute before consuming it, until further notice. All concerned residents have received a door hanger informing them of the situation.

During the water cut, the library toilets will not be accessible. After the shutdown, water consumption will not be possible on site until the boil-water advisory has been lifted.

On-street parking will no longer be possible on this section of the street. In addition, the parking spaces reserved for the library on Mercille Avenue will be partly occupied by the construction trailer.
Citizens who need to get to St. Lambert Elementary or the library will have to plan to park on the streets around the worksite.
Whenever possible, we encourage you to consider walking or cycling to get to the sector.
We also ask you to respect the detour route and signage at all times.
You can consult the presentation made to the citizens during the meeting of October 25.
