Projected 2050 Reserved Lanes and Sustainable Mobility Corridors for Montreal

Map 2-5 from Montreal's 2050 Urban and Mobility Plan details the projected network of lanes reserved for public transport and sustainable mobility corridors. The dataset, provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec, outlines preferential measures for buses and targeted areas for active transport improvements. It includes spatial data in SHP and GEOJSON formats for integration with geographic information systems.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial overlap between projected reserved lanes and sustainable mobility corridors to identify redundancy or complementary infrastructure.
• Model public transport network performance improvements using the planned reserved lane network as a key input variable.
• Plan active transport route connectivity by examining the targeted areas defined as sustainable mobility corridors.

Strengths

• Data is directly sourced from the authoritative 2050 Urban and Mobility Plan (PUM) for Montreal.
• Provides long-term, forward-looking projections for urban mobility infrastructure up to the year 2050.
• Available in multiple spatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON) for GIS analysis and visualization.

Limitations

• Contains projected future plans, not observed or historical data, limiting validation and trend analysis.
• The description warns of potential discrepancies where the official PUM mapping takes precedence over this dataset.
• No quantitative attributes (e.g., row count, column count, traffic volume) are provided in the available metadata.
