The project starts following the architectural competition won by the firm in partnership with ARCANE. The project’s concept is based on the traces of the past found on the Grand Moulins de Villancourt patrimonial site.

Arching over Highway 132, the new Normandie walkway connects LeMoyne Park and Marie-Victorin Park following the demolition of the old walkway during the winter of 2015. The city wants the new walkway to be accessible to everyone, not just cyclists: it was designed for universal use given local demographics (multiple senior homes, etc.).
