Location: Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, Quebec
This contract involved redeveloping a part of the downtown core that leads to the new Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce Bridge. The area includes the main thoroughfare (Highway 216), the church parvis, parking spaces, Fabrique Street, and the cemetery. The main solutions advanced by Roche were to develop a new parking concept for the area, build the roadway with concrete paving blocks, adjust street profiles to connect existing infrastructure, install a parapet on stylized bridge, and enhance urban lighting and landscape design.
