Circulating in a motor vehicle in the wrong direction in the Salaberry Boulevard section shared lately with walkers in Chateauguay risks to be very painful to one’s wallet. Translation Dan Rosenburg Several people are not respecting the new one-way signs towards the north implemented between D’Anjou Blvd. and St. Francis Blvd. to leave the other lane to pedestrians, deplored Mayor Pierre-Paul Routhier at a special council meeting Thursday.The elected officials thus adopted a resolution officializing the one-way signs. The change is inscribed in the application of instructions regarding the fight against COVID-19. It permits police officers to sanction those who will not respect the one-way change, the Mayor explained. “I am going to ask the police to seriously analyze the possibility of imposing the new fines of $1,000 and $6,000 because there is a very large proximity with the people who are going to be on site,” Routhier warned.
