Into the future...
Since its beginning, Safestreet has worked throughout Quebec and elsewhere, on 237 street redesign projects in 108 municipalities in all regions of Quebec and New Brunswick, of which 27 have rehired us at least once. These projects have dealt with local and collector streets, arterials, highways, through towns, rural roads, roundabouts and cycling infrastructure. Over the years, the firm has broadened its field of work to include barrier free design (for the handicapped and the elderly), storm-water management, noise, winter maintenance, active transportation and urban design.
