Over time, Chemin du Lac Désormeaux, a municipal road, has experienced erosion. While the section of the road belonging to Lac Ste Marie is well-paved, the portion on the Gracefield side poses a danger. In 2023, the sand used to cover the road did not meet Gracefield’s standards, leading to a formal complaint. Unfortunately, this clay-like sand worsened the road conditions, creating a slippery surface when wet and a dusty cloud when dry. These hazardous conditions have prompted the City of Gracefield to seek additional funds from Transport Quebec for paving, but the request was denied.
Our petition seeks to advocate for the improvement of Chemin du Lac Désormeaux by paving the entire 6.4-kilometer stretch from Lac Ste Marie to Chemin du Poisson Blanc. By gathering signatures from all road users, including locals, cottagers, visitors, and residents of neighboring towns, we aim to present a strong case to Transport Quebec with the support of Gracefield and the road’s users. Paving this road will enhance safety, reduce accidents, and minimize wear and tear on vehicles.
